Next-Level Leadership Starts Here.

You’ve built a solid track record. You know how to deliver.
But now the stakes are higher - and so is the expectation to lead with vision, influence, and speed.

Here’s what I hear from executives like you:

“I’m ready to lead more strategically - but not sure what to shift.”
“My team is capable, but not fully aligned.”
“I’ve hit a plateau. I want my edge back.”

This isn’t about capability - it’s about unlocking what’s next.
That’s where I come in.

I help high-performing leaders gain clarity, align their teams, and lead with greater impact.

Your Strategic Growth Partner

Real transformation. Zero fluff. High-impact leadership moves that stick

I’m Maria Wandelstam - global L&D executive, a capability strategist and executive coach. I’ve led in complexity, scaled capability globally and built high-performing teams from the inside out. Now I help ambitious leaders do the same - fast.

When we work together, expect to:

Think Like a Strategic Leader
Get out of the weeds. Lead with precision, influence, and clarity. Shape the agenda instead of reacting to it.

Lead with Presence + Purpose
Own every room. Cut through the noise. Speak so people stop, listen, and follow.

Drive Impact - Not Just Activity
Shift from busy to bold. Make decisions that move the needle - for your team, your career, and the business.

This isn’t just coaching. It’s a capability upgrade, custom-built around you.
