Career Coaching and Mentoring for Women in Tech: Build Executive Presence & Lead with Confidence
Hi, I’m Sabrina. I provide 1:1 career coaching and mentoring for early-career women looking to build executive presence and grow with confidence in male-dominated tech environments.
Whether you are navigating your first engineering role or aiming for your first lead position, I’m here to help you take the lead.
My background & my approach
For nearly two decades, I sat in male-dominated decision-making rooms and I know the pressure you feel. I entered the workforce without a guide, having to fight for visibility and credibility every step of the way.
Today, I draw on my current role as a Senior Delivery Lead (managing complex teams and facilitating conflict) to mentor young women. I didn't just theorize about success; I built my career on the principles I teach: establishing strong boundaries and creating psychological safety for myself and others.
As a former creative entrepreneur, I blend corporate strategy with personal development. My coaching goes deep to help you define your professional identity and amplify your executive presence, ensuring you don't just survive in tech, but you take the lead.
Mentoring or Coaching experience
My approach is practical, action-oriented, and structured for maximum impact.
Format: Personalized 1:1 sessions.
Location: Online globally or in-person in London.
Key areas of focus for Mentoring
We don't just talk theory; we practice action. We focus on mastering high-leverage skills:
Assertive communication: Mastering techniques for clarity and impact.
Role-playing: Practicing difficult conversations (e.g., performance reviews, boundary setting).
Executive presence: Building unshakeable confidence and professional visibility.
Career strategy: Designing your personalized roadmap for promotion and growth in tech.
Key areas of focus for Coaching
We don’t give you the answers; we help you uncover them. Coaching is a space for clarity, alignment, and intentional action:
Goal clarity: Defining what you truly want and why it matters to you.
Values exploration: Identifying your core values to guide aligned decisions and priorities.
Self-awareness: Understanding patterns, blockers, and inner narratives that shape your choices.
Decision-making: Gaining confidence in making choices that feel right for you, not just expected.
Accountability: Turning insights into consistent, meaningful action toward your goals.
The power of identity & portrait sessions
Identity isn't just internal, it's how you show up in the world. As a former professional photographer, I offer an optional mentoring + professional portrait package to make your internal transformation visible.
Through this process, we help you:
Define your professional identity: Step fully into the leadership role you are growing into.
Build tangible confidence: Translate internal shifts into confident external presentation.
Create your visual narrative: Produce powerful images that truly represent the successful, confident professional you are becoming.
Testimonials
“Sabrina has been my mentor and coach for the last year.
As I’ve continued to grow on my Agile Delivery and Coaching journey, I was looking to find a mentor and coach who aligned with my values, but could also offer a different perspective and challenge my thinking. Having met Sabrina on an Advanced Scrum Master course, I knew she could offer me just that.
Sabrina has a wealth of experience that she can draw on and is a great sounding board, offering advice whilst also drawing on her coaching skills to nudge me in the right direction and, importantly, help me take ownership of my career.
Since starting our regular sessions, I’ve made some great progress and changes which have positively made me take stock of where I am, where I want to go and how I want to get there. This wouldn’t have happened without Sabrina.
I also really value Sabrina as a fellow woman navigating the challenges that women can face in Agile and the wider workplace. Having someone who understands those challenges and can offer both challenge and support has been invaluable.
I couldn’t recommend Sabrina enough as a mentor and coach. If you’re looking for someone who will listen, challenge your thinking, share their experience and help you take ownership of your own journey, Sabrina is that person.”

Agile Delivery Manager & Agile Coach“Sabrina is a truly great coach.
She naturally created a space filled with compassion and patience to help me land on what is right for me in a time of uncertainty.
She really listens, which is the foundation of all sessions. And recalls details from previous sessions, allowing her to bring a fine balance of encouragement and accountability to her coaching.
My favourite sessions were when Sabrina gently challenged me in ways I didn't even know I needed.
After a session with Sabrina I always feel clearer, and so lucky to have had that space with her.”
