Expand your range, lead from within, and unlock greater impact.

Hi, I’m Lorraine. I’m a Chief People Officer and Executive Coach. I help leaders grow with range and lead in a way that’s both authentic and impactful.

​

Clients come to me at inflection points - stepping into bigger roles, expanding their impact, rethinking their path, or seeking deeper fulfillment in work that moves fast. Together, we work to develop greater levels of self-mastery while cultivating a leadership practice and a life that feels expansive, grounded, and true.

About Me

I draw on two decades of operating and executive experience to help leaders navigate growth with clarity, resilience, and grounded leadership. I’ve led Talent at AppNexus and Squarespace during periods of rapid scale, served as Chief People Officer at Orchard through a tenfold headcount expansion, and built executive teams across a portfolio of venture-backed companies at Juxtapose. Today, I lead the People function at Headway and coach select clients in parallel.

​

My coaching approach blends strategic insight with emotional intelligence. I’ve worked with founders and senior leaders to scale teams, build culture, navigate complex transitions, and lead in ways that are both effective and deeply aligned. Whether in a boardroom or a coaching session, my goal is the same: to create space for grounded growth - where leaders can access their full potential without losing themselves in the process.

​

I believe growth starts with self-awareness - creating space to see yourself more clearly, so you can lead with greater alignment, range, and ease. When leaders know who they are, they move through uncertainty with more calm, make decisions with more conviction, and create the kind of impact that lasts on their teams, their companies, and their own lives.

​

I’m a certified Co-Active Coach, a Designing Your Life Coach, and a member of the International Coaching Federation.
