About

Most HR teams know leadership development is critical, they just can’t scale it. The same few top talent gets coached while everyone else gets left behind. That’s why I started Boon. We partner with HR and L&D leaders to make leadership development scalable through: - 1:1 coaching for every level of the org - Cohort programs for emerging managers - Group sessions and workshops that build culture - AI tools that make development measurable and sustainable The result is high-quality, affordable coaching that reaches your whole organization. Not just the C-suite. Before Boon, I worked in finance and private equity, where I saw the ROI of investing in people firsthand. That experience, combined with my own coaching journey, shaped how I lead and how I build: balancing business outcomes with human growth. I also write Leading in the Gray, which is my take on leading when nothing is black-and-white.
