Donna has supported the development of senior leaders through Executive Leadership Coaching and Consulting since 1993. The focus of her work is developing the leadership capacities necessary to excel in today’s business environment, including developing the competencies of leading diverse groups of people, working collaboratively, and coaching as a leader and manager. As an external coach and consultant, Donna has been part of the Inclusive Leadership Program at EY for over 12 years. She was instrumental in the development and delivery of a cutting-edge leadership program focused on what it takes to become a culturally competent leader, for the National Service Leadership Institute which brought leadership development to a broad spectrum of non-profit executives across the country.

Donna is known for her ability to “decode” the culture of an organization as well as understand the individual motivations of each of the players. Through teaching her clients to see the culture and know how people are motivated, her clients can deliver the highest quality business outcomes through their people. Her work has included an emphasis on becoming a culturally competent leader, able to inspire and lead change in increasingly diverse organizations.

Prior to her work in executive development, Donna began her career as a consultant providing financial analysis in complex commercial litigation.

Donna and her husband Jeff, avid foodies, live in Sonoma County with their rescue dog, Parker, where they walk and bike together in their beautiful area.
