Hi, I’m Sunshine

My mission in life is to help others discover what they are truly capable of.

I’m a recovering high achiever who took the scenic route to finding my purpose. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked at:

  • Bain, where I’ve had several stints — first, as a client-facing consultant, and then as head of Talent Strategy & Operations for its AI Insights/Innovation team

  • a big law firm, where I was a litigation associate

  • a tech startup called Grammarly, where I was a software engineer

  • a performance coaching platform called BetterUp, where I designed behavioral change programs based on positive psychology, and

  • UC Berkeley School of Law, where I co-taught an experiential course on self-development and decision-making.

Combined, these experiences allow me to appreciate the nuance and complexity in just about any business context. Within and between every chapter, what I kept coming back to was my love of developing people and partnering with them to grow and self-actualize. It never ceases to amaze me how much coaching can transform, and it’s hugely rewarding work.

I currently coach leaders at Bain. Simultaneously, I head up Strategy & Operations for Bain’s Global Wellbeing & Peak Performance team. We help all Bainies to enhance resilience, focus, and creativity to show up as their best selves; and we provide tailored support for leaders to maximize their personal and professional potential.

With 20 years of business and human development experience, I leverage and integrate many different approaches including Co-Active, Positive Intelligence, Enneagram, and various leadership frameworks. I’m a voracious learner and constantly looking for ways to hone my craft so I can offer the best possible support for my clients.

I am a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School.

I live in the SF Bay Area with my husband and daughter.
