The next level requires a different version of you.

Lead with clarity. Navigate complexity. Succeed without burning out.

Executive coaching for senior leaders — and the organizations investing in them.

Even the strongest leaders get stuck at times, regardless of their role. This is especially true when a leader is trying to reach the next level, or when they first arrive. Often, they realize that the skills and behaviors that brought them here won't be the ones that help them succeed going forward. The question isn't whether a leader will face challenges - it’s how they will navigate them.

I’m

Nadine Fakhoury

I spent 20+ years in corporate leadership — most recently as VP at Cisco leading a 600-person global organization — before becoming an executive coach. I know what it costs to lead at this level, and I know what it takes to do it well.

I work with two types of clients: high-achieving professionals hiring me directly, and organizations investing in their talent. My clients span tech, consulting, healthcare, financial services, retail, and nonprofits.

I've navigated complex organizations firsthand, so I understand the business context you're operating in. That's not something every coach can say. My clients tell me that my depth of experience in leadership allows me to help them more effectively — not because I have all the answers, but because I understand what they're actually facing.

YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM COACHING IF…

You've recently stepped into a senior leadership role and you're navigating it mostly alone — figuring out the politics, managing up, managing across, and trying not to show the cracks.

You're being groomed for the next level and the pressure to perform, influence, and lead differently is heavy. You question if you can rise to the occasion.

You feel ready for the next level but you're not getting there. You deliver strong results, but the promotion keeps going to someone else. You're starting to question what you're not seeing — and what it will take to finally advance.

You're working in a way that isn't sustainable. You know it. And you're ready to change it without losing the edge that got you here.

You're navigating a space that wasn't always built for someone like you — and you're done carrying that alone.

WHAT WORKING WITH NADINE LOOKS LIKE

If you're hiring Nadine yourself:
Nadine works as your thought partner, encourager, and challenger — offering new perspectives, asking hard questions, and helping you slow down and get deliberate about how you lead. At the start, you work together to set the goals for coaching, defining what you want to be different in six months or a year.

Sessions are bi-weekly, conducted over video or in person, and built around what's most pressing for you in the moment. You bring what you're navigating — a difficult dynamic, a stuck decision, a pattern that keeps repeating — and Nadine helps you think it through. The work is confidential, and the agenda is yours.

Clients consistently describe noticing shifts between calls — seeing situations differently, handling conversations with more clarity, and building the capacity to navigate their most pressing challenges. Engagements typically run 6-12 months.

What Clients Say

Client Stories

Nadine brings a perspective grounded in her experience as a leader across large organizations. She helped coach me on a number of high impact areas for my development. I always left our sessions feeling clearer, more aligned, and more focused. The work continued even when I didn't see Nadine — I found myself reflecting on our sessions in between weeks, and her impact was profound on my working style and goals.

— SB, Vice President of Product & Operations at Leading HR Tech Company

I began working with Nadine when my career lacked purpose. Through our work together, I gained both the clarity and confidence I needed. Nadine encouraged me to view my career from a more holistic perspective and acknowledge the accomplishments that had shaped my journey to that point. That shift in perspective enabled me to recognize opportunities that had previously been invisible to me. Empowered by a deeper understanding of my strengths and potential, I began to see my role within my organization in a new light. As I allowed more of my authentic self to inform my work, I rediscovered a sense of fulfillment in my career.

Nadine offers sharp insights and challenges you to see situations from new perspectives.
