You've earned your seat at the table.
Now let's make sure you're leading at your best.
Most executives who come to Margo aren't underperforming. They're high-achieving leaders who've hit a ceiling, or a crossroads. They're running fast, making high-stakes decisions, managing complex organizations, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, they've lost clarity about what they want, how they're showing up, or what's getting in their way.
Margo brings something rare to that conversation: she has lived it, and she is trained for it. Her 25+ years of senior leadership in enterprise technology and health IT give her fluency in the world her clients operate in. Her coach training at Georgetown University and her MCC credential from the International Coaching Federation, held by fewer than 4% of coaches worldwide, give her the discipline, rigor, and proven methods to turn that experience into real change for her clients.
Experience without training is advice. Training without experience is theory. Margo brings both experience and training, and the result is coaching that goes beneath the surface to produce tangible, lasting results.
Additional training includes an Executive Certificate in Neuroleadership from the NeuroLeadership Institute, and completion of Harvard Medical School's program in The Science of Leadership: The Brain, Resilience, and Mindfulness.
That's where coaching begins.
Leaders who are ready to do the real work
Margo works with executives, senior leaders, and high-potentials across industries, including technology, health IT, healthcare, pharma and biotech, financial services, federal agencies, and higher education.
Her clients typically come to her at one of these inflection points:
In transition
New role, promotion, merger, restructure, or expanded scope. The skills that got you here may not be sufficient for what's next, and you want to get ahead of that, not catch up to it.
At a performance ceiling
You're effective — and you know there's another level. Something is limiting your impact, your presence, or your ability to influence at the highest levels. You want to understand what it is and move through it.
Successfully exhausted
You're delivering results but running on fumes. The drive that built your career is now costing you — your health, your relationships, your clarity. You're ready to lead differently, not just harder.
Navigating complexity
Organizational politics, a difficult board relationship, a team that's not aligned, a culture that's breaking under pressure. You need a trusted thinking partner who will tell you the truth and help you think clearly.
What executives gain from working with Margo

What Clients Say
"When Margo and I started working together, I was uncomfortable even calling myself a CEO. I was an engineer who had built something, but leading an organization was a different challenge entirely. Margo helped me grow into the role without losing who I am. She pushed me when I needed it, and when I pushed back, she always made me feel confident in my own choices. By the time we finished working together, I wasn't just running a company. I was leading one."
— CEO, Technology Company
"I've been through more leadership training than I can count. Nothing prepared me for what I discovered working with Margo. What surprised me most was how unaware I had been about the spring-loaded negativity my brain turns toward when reflecting on myself and my abilities. It's exhausting when you're fighting the real world and yourself at the same time.
Margo taught me to 'scratch the record' — to stop and ask what's behind the feeling that I have. I've become aware that the narrative in my head isn't based on any fact or evidence. That realization never happened before. And it has changed everything."
— Major General, United States Air Force
“I had the pleasure to work with Margo as my Executive Leadership Coach. She is an active listener, non-judgmental, honest, and highly trustworthy. Margo is ethical, understanding, and direct/clear when appropriate. She helped me understand where I originally stood, where I wanted to be, and then how to get there. I grew in significant ways over the six months working with Margo. She is an excellent coach, and I recommend her with no reservations."
—Vice President, Technology
"What surprised me most was the value of candid conversations with an outside observer, someone who could challenge my internal perceptions in ways I couldn't do alone.
One of the most useful shifts came from reframing procrastination. I had always viewed it as a frustrating element of my personality I simply had to accept. Margo helped me see it differently — as a time management technique that has its place, used in moderation. That reframe gave me a starting point to work with rather than a flaw to resign myself to.
I now take more note of how procrastination affects me and others, and I make more of an effort to address issues earlier than I would have. This is an evolutionary process that will require vigilance, but it's a process, not a fixed state."
— Senior Executive, Federal Government (Nuclear Physicist)
"This coaching experience gave me something I hadn't always had throughout my career — a secure space to express myself without reservation. As a Black man and military officer, I've carried the weight of needing to be perfect in all aspects. That's an unrealistic standard, and a tough thought process to change. What surprised me most was how strongly I held to that and how it had stalled my personal growth.
Margo helped me focus inward. I am more relaxed, I share my perspective without overthinking how it may be perceived, and I'm bringing what I've learned into my closest relationships. Consciously minimizing what subconsciously holds me back frees up space to focus on what matters. That's the change."
— Colonel, United States Air Force
"Margo's coaching differs from most university HR programming in that she works almost exclusively with executives, and her perspective springs from broad experience in the business community. I credit Margo with much of my recent success here as Vice President."
— Vice President, Public University
