TAKE THE NEXT STEP

Hi, I’m Akua, an executive coach and former operator.

I help leaders move from reactive and overloaded to focused and effective. Earlier in my career, I launched and managed a platform in fast-paced, high-growth environments, within a group that was later listed on the NYSE. More importantly, I built teams, implemented systems from scratch, and scaled strategies, eventually guiding parts of the business through acquisition. All within a short time frame.

What I carry with me is the experience of making strategic decisions under pressure, managing stakeholders, and navigating the uncertainty of emerging markets. That hands-on experience taught me how culture, structure, and leadership behaviors drive results. Now, I bring that insight to my work with leaders across sectors.

You’ve built something great—but you know there’s more. What you need now is a clearer way to lead your team, reclaim your time, and make your strategy stick. That’s the work I do.

My approach blends strategic coaching, leadership psychology, and practical tools, tailored to your goals and the realities of your role. It’s not just talk; it’s about building routines, decision frameworks, and communication habits you can apply right away.

Leadership shouldn’t cost your wellbeing.

If you’re constantly moving but still questioning your impact, you’re not alone. Many high-performing leaders struggle to balance vision with day-to-day pressure; unsure whether they’re leading in the most effective way.

I’ve been there. As a founder and operator, I nearly burned out trying to carry it all. But I’ve also seen firsthand how much clarity and confidence coaching can unlock—when it’s rooted in both strategic thinking and human-centered support.

That’s the work I now do: helping leaders like you gain space to think, lead, and grow, without sacrificing what matters most.
