Hi, I'm Carlo!
I’m an ICF-certified executive coach and master facilitator with over 20 years of experience in career development, team dynamics, and leadership growth. I’ve held founding roles in startups, led operations and culture in fast-paced SaaS environments, and coached leaders navigating everything from high-stakes pivots to quiet burnout. My lens is shaped by design thinking and systems work—but refined through years of listening to what actually helps people move forward.
I’m certified by the International Coaching Federation and trained in modalities from Erickson Coaching International, Health Coach Institute, AJ&Smart, and Product School. My work is both people-centered and results-conscious—guided by real-world data, lived experience, and the patterns that show up across teams, industries, and personal turning points.
What I write about
I write about what happens beneath the surface of work—where ambition collides with doubt, leadership meets identity, and teams either align or unravel. You’ll find reflections on:
- Career crossroads and reinvention
- Leading with clarity and integrity
- Team collaboration and culture-building
- The emotional labor of management
- How life and work can integrate (instead of compete)
- Coaching best practices that hold up in real life—not just in theory
My writing is grounded in lived coaching conversations, human systems thinking, and the ongoing work of aligning what we do with who we are. I don’t chase trends or overpromise hacks—I share what endures, what helps, and what stretches us.
Whom I write for
This space is for two kinds of people:
- Working professionals—especially those at a threshold, whether it’s a new role, a burnout reckoning, or a question they can’t ignore anymore. If you’re seeking traction, perspective, or a saner way to grow, you’ll feel seen here.
- Fellow coaches and facilitators—people doing the behind-the-scenes work of holding space for others, looking to sharpen their practice, and stay connected to purpose.
Whether you're navigating the pressure to lead with more presence or learning how to hold space without losing yourself, this work is for you. I write with the hope that you’ll find language for what you’re going through, tools that help you move forward, and a little more compassion for yourself along the way.Fresh content, delivered
