Background

My career has centered on developing leaders and building teams that thrive. In a people leadership role in tech, I built a culture focused on learning, collaboration, and leadership excellence. Helping leaders navigate challenges and bring out the best in others drew me naturally into executive coaching, building on an earlier foundation in education and team coaching.

Today, I’m the Founder and CEO of Next Levels Coaching, an MCC- and ACE-certified executive and team coach, facilitator, and coach trainer. I’ve partnered with leaders across organizations including Google, Amazon, Disney, Pfizer, and American Express.

My approach combines deep listening, candid challenge, and practical action. Shaped by rigorous learning and a mentor who helped me see beyond my perceived limits, I help leaders expand their possibilities and turn insight into lasting impact. I believe human flourishing, belonging, and strong business results reinforce one another.

From leaders they've coached

“Regina is the kind of executive coach you never forget. She helps leaders change how they show up—and the impact they have on the people and organizations they lead. She brings a rare blend of rigor and humanity, helping senior leaders turn intensity into clarity, insight into action, and ambition into sustained impact. An exceptional thought partner, Regina listens deeply and challenges with courage and care. She helps leaders see what they may be missing, question assumptions, and expand their choices. Her gift is making complex leadership dynamics actionable: she draws on well-chosen frameworks, examples, and insights to help leaders build practical behaviors they can rely on under pressure and through change. For senior leaders ready to strengthen their presence, lead with greater purpose and accountability, and bring out the best in others, I recommend Regina wholeheartedly. She brings both the depth to create meaningful shifts and the practicality to make them last.”

Chief Human Resource Officer

“Regina has a gift for helping you step back from the urgency of the business and see where your leadership can make the greatest difference. As a marketing leader, it’s easy to become consumed by competing priorities, stakeholder expectations, and the pressure to deliver. Regina helped me clarify those demands, communicate with more intention, and lead with greater confidence. Our sessions connected immediate challenges to the leader I wanted to become. She combined thoughtful questions and candid challenge with practical tools I could apply in my next conversation or decision. Just as importantly, she helped me recognize progress I might otherwise have overlooked, strengthening my confidence along the way. Regina brings warmth, insight, and a clear commitment to your growth. I wholeheartedly recommend her to senior leaders who want to strengthen their influence, empower their teams, and deliver results with greater purpose.”

Chief Marketing Officer

“Regina is an exceptional thought partner for leaders working at the intersection of strategy, execution, and organizational complexity. She helped me clarify my priorities, challenge my assumptions, and translate broad leadership goals into concrete changes in how I worked. What made our coaching especially valuable was the balance between solving immediate challenges and building lasting leadership habits. Whether navigating competing stakeholder needs, preparing for a difficult conversation, or deciding where to focus my energy, I left our sessions with a clearer perspective and practical next steps. Her thoughtful follow-ups kept that learning alive between sessions and helped me stay accountable. Regina also made space to acknowledge accomplishments and recognize growth—something that can get lost when you’re always focused on what comes next. I recommend her highly to leaders who want to become more strategic, more intentional, and more effective at turning alignment into action.”

VP of Strategy and Operations

“Regina helped me expand my impact as an engineering leader—from solving problems myself to creating the conditions for my team to solve them. She understood the tension between technical complexity and business urgency and helped me lead through it with greater clarity, confidence, and influence. Our work strengthened how I communicated with executive stakeholders, navigated disagreement across product and engineering, and delegated with clear expectations. Regina asked thoughtful questions, challenged my assumptions, and helped me translate insights into practical changes I could apply immediately. What I valued most was her ability to connect leadership growth to the real demands of my role. I became more intentional about where I added value, when to step back, and how to develop others. I highly recommend Regina to technical leaders looking to scale their leadership alongside their teams and the business.”
