“Elevate helped me get unstuck on some of the hardest parts of scaling from a founder managing small teams to CTO leading a large technical org. I came in struggling with when to dive in vs delegate, how to communicate more effectively with my co-founders, and how to build the right structures as we grew rapidly. Through our coaching, I got much clearer on my role, learned practical frameworks for managing up and down, and felt more confident making org design decisions.”

Sam McCandish
Co-Founder & CTO, Anthropic

“Before working together my leadership style was to solve problems by doing and by always taking on more. I have grown to learn true leadership building and presence, an understanding I wished I had learned many years ago while working in a high management role at Google. During my year of executive coaching with Elevate, I have grown my scope and built a very strong team, which I see as a success in my journey as a leader.”

Qi Jin
Head of Payment Experience and Platform, Stripe

“From working with Elevate, I’ve become more self-confident, and have both a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses and also techniques to keep improving. It's helped me bring structure to my team and provide authentic leadership.”

Conrad IrwinQi Jin
CTO and Co-Founder, Superhuman

“I have changed as a result of my coaching with Elevate in more ways than one. The primary one being that I have much more confidence in my actions and have been able to assert myself in ways that I had not been able to before. My coach has helped me think through all my thoughts and ideas in my mind and helped me solidify them in a way that’s clear and concise. They've also helped me talk through all my doubts and saved me from my own self sabotage by helping me think through all my ideas with a calming and tactful presence.”

Sophia Chew
Director of CEO's Office, Medium

“If you are serious about wanting to take charge of your career and insure you bring the best possible you to work every day, hire Elevate. Amazing things can happen from there! They have a fantastic ability to mirror back to you the things you need to work on and give you real tools and techniques to make impactful changes that are right and natural for you. Leadership does not truly come naturally. It is a set of skills that can be learned through great coaches.”

Kerry McCracken
VP, Business Architecture & Delivery, Flex

“I was fortunate to work with Elevate as I transitioned from an informal to a formal cross functional team leader, the leap stretching me in all ways and demanding leveling up in short order. My coach, Lucy, was an essential part of my development, providing me with tools, introducing me to methodologies and facilitating the development of my own voice and approach as a leader. Her coaching not only served me in that role but has continued to serve me 5+ years later and allowed me to support others as they make a similar jump in their careers.”

Monica Freedman
GM of Digital Omnichannel, Alo Yoga

“Working with Elevate has been an incredibly valuable experience. I was only about 6 months into a new role, so my coach Susy’s dedicated thought partnership helped me navigate a wide range of leadership challenges with greater clarity and confidence. In addition to that, her ability to shift between big-picture strategy and tactical detail was invaluable as she often helped me zoom out and think more strategically.”

Kia Beckford
Director of Talent Development, Whatnot

"My coaching sessions with Gitta Sivander at Elevate have been 'Eye Opening and Enlightening." It's helped me become a better leader and I would absolutely recommend coaching with Elevate to my peers. I have learned more about myself and what I value."

Cory Kostrub
VP of Clinical Pharmacology and Nonclinical Sciences, Mirum
