Executive Coaching for Biopharma Leaders
When the pressure is high and expertise isn’t enough.
Considering coaching?
“25 years into my career, and the 6 months I worked with Angela was a transformative experience.”
Julie B., EVP, Human Resources“I now know I have a rightful place at the decision-making table—and I’m showing up that way.”

JS, SVP & Board DirectorWhat This Looks Like in Practice
Not a crisis. Not a failure.
A capable leader. A role that keeps getting harder. And a gap between what everyone knows is possible and what's actually happening.
That gap doesn't close on its own.
How Coaching Helps
Coaching helps close the gap.
It shows what's hard to see from inside the situation—what's working, what's not, and what needs to shift.
Space to think out loud with someone who isn't in the room or in the chain of command.
Most people say the same thing afterward: I wish I'd done this sooner.
“Angela is a rare strategic thought partner. Coaching with her transforms how you think, act, and lead.”

Why This Work Requires More Than Coaching
I’ve spent my career inside the environments my clients operate in—leading alongside demanding executives, navigating board dynamics, enterprise risk, and decisions that don’t come with clean answers.
That experience shapes how I coach.
This work isn’t about surface-level insight or endless reflection.
It’s about knowing when to create space—and when to challenge assumptions that are quietly holding someone back.
At senior levels, coaching isn’t a sign something’s wrong.
It’s how leaders keep their effectiveness scaling as expectations compound.
My role is to help leaders—and the executives who back them—get ahead of it. Before the role becomes harder than it needs to be.
How We Figure Out If This Is Right
Coaching isn’t always the answer.
This process is designed to figure that out early.
Initial Assessment
You’ll share context about the leader, the role, and what’s at stake.
I review this personally and respond with a clear perspective on whether I’m the right coach for this situation—and why.
If I’m not the best fit, I’ll say so.
If another approach or coach would serve you better, I’ll point you there.
The goal is a clear call—not a rushed decision.
Alignment Conversation
If it appears to be a potential fit, we talk it through.
We clarify what’s actually happening, what needs to change, and what success would need to look like for this to be worth the investment.
If there’s a sponsor, we align early—so expectations are explicit and the work is grounded in what matters to the business.
Fit goes both ways.
Engagement
If we decide to move forward, we do so with intention.
Most engagements run six months with biweekly sessions, focused on building enterprise leadership capability: thinking beyond function, influencing across peers, delegating strategically, and communicating with impact.
The outcome is real progress—for the leader and the business.
“Angela helped me engage with my peers more effectively. I’ve become a more effective executive leader.”
— Robert Hofmeister, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer & Board Director
How This Work Scales
I work with leaders at different stages—but the work is grounded in the same principle: build the capability before the role outgrows the person.
At the executive level
I work directly with CEOs, C-suite leaders, and VPs navigating enterprise scope, visibility, and decisions that don't come with a playbook.
Earlier in the leadership arc
Organizations that invest early develop the same capabilities—strategic thinking, influence, and executive presence—before roles expand and stakes escalate.
Angela works directly with senior executives.
Select coaches trained in her method support earlier-stage leaders using the same framework—so organizations build strength without waiting for strain.
TRUSTED BY SENIOR LEADERS IN BIOTECH AND LIFE SCIENCES

Executive Coaching for Biopharma: What You Need to Know Before You Invest
Stay Oriented While You Decide
Receive Practical Perspectives
A monthly note on enterprise leadership, decision-making, and how leverage actually works at senior levels.
Written for leaders and sponsors navigating complexity, visibility, and inflection points—when the questions are bigger than the playbook.
Grounded in behavioral science. Informed by real leadership decisions.
Not commentary. Not motivation.
A way to stay oriented—and sharpen judgment—while you decide what’s next.
For Chief People Officers—inside the role and behind the decisions.
You operate at a unique intersection.
You’re a senior leader navigating board dynamics, enterprise tradeoffs, and visibility that rarely comes with clean answers.
And you’re the one trusted to make judgment calls about other leaders—often before the risk is obvious.
I work with CPOs in both capacities.
Sometimes that means coaching you as a leader—
as scope expands, pressure compounds, or the role starts to feel heavier than it looks from the outside.
More often, it means partnering with you as a decision-maker—helping you assess where coaching will create real leverage, and when it won’t.
Either way, the work is grounded in the same principle: developing leadership capacity before effort becomes the bottleneck.
If you’re deciding where coaching would actually create leverage, this is where we start.
