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 BEST team. We think of Bainies as corporate athletes and help them to enhance their “inner game” — to help them show up as their best selves at work and in life. We also provide tailored executive coaching and training for leaders to realize 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.
