Landis Coutzoukis

Coach and Facilitator

Landis partners with executives to develop resilient leaders, aligned teams, and organizations that can thrive through change. Through candor, clarity, and compassion, she helps executives build organizations where high performance and strong culture reinforce each other. She works with executives and leadership teams at critical moments, periods of growth, transformation, and increasing complexity — helping leaders translate bold vision into organizations that actually deliver.

Before launching her coaching and advisory practice, Landis held executive roles at DoorDash and Google. At DoorDash, she led Engineering Enablement for a global organization of more than 2,400 engineers and served as Chief of Staff to the VP of Engineering, shaping platform strategy, talent development, and leadership capability during a period of rapid growth. At Google, she led Strategy and Operations for Search Infrastructure — a 500+ person engineering organization — where she clarified strategy, improved organizational health, and strengthened execution.

Across her career, Landis has built a reputation as a trusted partner to senior leaders, someone who brings both operational rigor and deep empathy to the work of leadership. She is a PCC-level Certified Professional Coach through the International Coaching Federation, a graduate of the Stanford LEAD Executive Program, and earned her BA from the University of Southern California.

• ICF-certified coach (PCC) with 15 years of experience inside global tech companies, specializing in executive coaching, leadership team development, and organizational transformation

• Former executive at DoorDash and Google, where she led Engineering Enablement, Strategy & Operations, and Chief of Staff roles for organizations of 500–2,400+ people

• Designed and facilitated thousands of hours of leadership training, strategy sessions, and capability-building programs for teams worldwide

At a recent DoorDash Leadership Summit, Landis facilitated two very different sessions: a 200+ person session for frontline managers on leading through change, and a 40-person session for senior leaders on learning from failure. She adapted her approach thoughtfully. For the large frontline manager group, she emphasized high engagement and built in meaningful practice in trios. For the senior leader session, she shifted to a panel format, drawing out memorable leadership lessons and creating ample space for candid Q&A. In both settings, she met leaders where they were and delivered a high-impact, meaningful experience.

Landis is excellent in helping people navigate transformation, both personal and organizational. Her superpower is gaining trust. She does this by deeply caring and understanding people, and uses that foundation to give feedback that has much more impact as a result of the trust.
