Strategy & Ops, Finance and Executive Leadership Coach

Executive | Former Apollo, Citi, Amex

About

I'm a leadership and developmental coach with over 25 years of global experience across financial services, private equity, asset management, and banking.

My executive career at Apollo Global Management, Citigroup, and American Express, spanning strategy, operations, finance, business development, and risk, gives me firsthand understanding of the complexity, pressure, and scale that today's leaders navigate every day.

At Apollo, I served as Global Head of Finance Operations during a period when the firm tripled its workforce and grew AUM from $200B to $700B. At Citi, I oversaw global FP&A as Global Head of Expenses & Headcount for a $20B cost base and a 56,000-person workforce. At Amex, I managed $1B in regulatory exposure, led initiatives that delivered $600M in margin improvements, and supported a $2B profit-protection program during the financial crisis.

I’m an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and a Co-Active Professional Certified Coach (CPCC), and I have completed professional studies at Brown, Harvard, MIT, and Cambridge, focusing on mindfulness, leadership development, digital innovation, and artificial intelligence.

As a coach, I work with executives and leaders navigating significant transitions, concentrating on the inner dimensions that shape how they think, decide, and relate to themselves and others. My style is calm, personal, and direct. I balance depth of reflection with clear, forward movement in every session. I also bring a strong lens of cultural intelligence to this work, shaped by a career and life experiences across multiple continents.

Clients leave our work together with deeper self-awareness, clearer purpose, and the alignment to live and lead with both impact and authenticity.

Born in Brazil with Italian heritage, I recently relocated from New York City to Charlotte, where I live with my wife and our French Bulldogs, Kiko and Theo. As a fluent speaker of four languages and longtime mindfulness practitioner, I have spent my life navigating cultures, and that curiosity about people is at the heart of everything I do.
