PROFILE

David brings 20+ years of organizational coaching experience as a Master Certified Coach (ICF-credentialed) based in the New York City Metropolitan area.  His work in coaching executive and senior leadership spans internationally across a diversity of industries including financial services, insurance, communications, public relations, music, fashion, consumer goods, technology, consulting firms (big 4), mining, bio-tech, shipping, health care and world agencies.

David’s approach to leadership development is focused on performance with integrity to align the business, organization, teams and leadership to simultaneously hold an authentic public and private stance in work and life; where the two meet is where the integral leader lives. It is this space that leaders and their teams inhabit that requires truth-telling, safety, structure and communication mastery.  

Leveraging over two decades of coaching, finance, ethics training and theater performance, David has had the honor to structure and teach in the organizational coaching program at Columbia University, guide and coach more than 1,000 senior leaders in more than 30 countries, train 5,000+ executive coaches and create results for more than 100 organizations. His multilingual (English, Spanish, French) skill set benefits a global client roster and is applied to the nuances that exist within various cultural landscapes.

For David, performance with integrity creates teams and individuals that:

• Work with a designed structure that maximizes engagement and performance
• Have a safe space for truth telling that creates intrapersonal and interpersonal transparency
• Leverage the power of language as a threshold for mastery in communication
• Openly discuss issues and roadblocks
• Have the improvisational skills to build agile leadership abilities
• Are aligned in their most deeply held beliefs
