Strategize. Connect. Succeed.

Well-Connected Leader, Inc. offers top tier professionals the tools to springboard their careers to the next level of success. Our team of experienced executives will help you identify and position yourself for your next opportunity and accelerate your progress, broaden your horizons and increase your connections to those opportunities.

Whether you are seeking a promotion, expanding your customer or client portfolio or ready to make a life-changing career move, Well-Connected Leader, Inc. has the necessary expertise to guide you through the process.

We are your agents of opportunity. We position you for success by crafting a unique story that combines your expertise, passions and accomplishments. Then we show you how to tell that story to the people who matter - key influencers, hiring managers and potential customers. We also tell that story to our broad network of connections - in fact, we can't help but evangelize the people we work with so they might be selected for a board position, new job opening or speaking opportunity.

We are well-connected in Silicon Valley and throughout the US and we know how you can broaden your own connections to the people who matter in your world.

We believe in action. There is no time to sit on the sidelines or hold yourself back from tooting your own horn. We'll work together to develop a framework and action plan that is customized to you. Focusing too much on your day-to-day priorities and not enough on your long-term goals? We'll identify some short-term wins that will encourage you to get outside your comfort zone and have a broader impact.

We specialize in you. Our sweet spot is executives in the technology, life sciences, Internet and professional services arenas, particularly senior-level women. We bring to the table our vast experience and lessons learned helping hundreds of people just like you – including start-up CEOs growing nascent ventures, emerging executives building their portfolios and ‘intrapreneurial’ leaders managing their careers within more established companies. We love to help you think through how to move from leader to thought leader.

We customize our services to fit your needs. After an initial complementary evaluation session, we will provide you with a recommendation for a plan that suits your needs, goals and schedule. As an added service, all of our clients are invited to participate in our private client-only email list and conference calls. Ready to get started?
