Almost dying usually has the effect of epiphanies and radical life transformations; Alison’s didn’t.


Surviving surgical complications, Alison woke up after 6 days in suspended animation and 3 hospital stays and started rebuilding her life. Her epiphany was she was already living life right, unboxed, and on her own terms. A life free from expectations, limitations, and blindspots. She was definitely not living in the boxes or within the boundaries, others tried to impose on her throughout her life and career.


Alison’s life has never been ordinary. From her fifth-grade math teacher calling her mom to say the boys didn’t like that she raised her hand first in math class, to earning a Master’s In Engineering at a time that was rare for women. She swam for an inner-city YMCA and became a Division 1 Scholarship Swimmer. She also solo backpacks, dives with sharks, and paddleboards in the ocean with whales.


After a 30-year career in tech working for huge corporations and 7 startups resulting in 6 exits, Alison left to be an executive coach. Her mission is to be the thinking partner she wished she had on her corporate journey to make the road easier for others than it was for herself. She is her clients' fiercest champion and challenger on their journey to reach their big audacious goals.


Alison guides her clients to unbox their life and career for greater fulfillment, happiness, and success.  This allows them to take control of their destiny, living life on their own terms and embracing the limitless possibilities existing beyond the boundaries of convention and tradition.
