Strategic Thought Provocateur. Insider's Outsider.
Helping leaders move from performance to purpose—and from Doing to Becoming.
Most leaders arrive in Doing mode—chasing results, optimizing time, proving value. The brave ones learn to Be—present, intentional, aligned. And those who lead with purpose? They step fully into Becoming.
I help high-stakes, PE-backed leaders turn complexity into purpose-driven impact.
$450B AUM private-equity experience meets values-first leadership to deliver returns and resonance.
Today I coach C-suite teams stewarding $20B+ in enterprise value and speak globally on simplicity and human-centered growth.
I’ve sat in their seats—CxO, Operating Partner, Talent Partner, Founder, Strategist—and in a few that matter even more: caregiver, daughter, sister, friend, mentor.
Meet Tracey
The hardest question to ever answer is "Who are you?" - that hits at the core of your identity.
I'm not just one thing. I'm not just a coach. Or a strategist. Or a founder. I'm an accumulation of experiences—each one offering a different lens through which I help others lead.
What I Do Now (And Why It Works)
I coach and advise C-suite leaders stewarding over $20B in enterprise value. I've been a $450B AUM PE Operating Partner, a strategist, and a board member.
But I've also been a caregiver. A founder. A committed sister and daughter. A no-title, no-badge explorer of the human experience.
I'm also a Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute, a Presidential Leadership Scholar, and an M.I.T. Entrepreneur Advisor—honors that deepened my belief that leadership isn't just about scaling results. It's about aligning power with purpose.
Today, I help high-stakes leaders reconnect who they are with how they lead. I do it through two proprietary frameworks:
Purpose Value Creation Plan™ : a 4-stage process that transforms performance into fulfillment
Intuition Accelerant™ : a decision tool that strengthens risk-taking and clarity
It's grounded, strategic, and deeply personal.
Through Leadership Current, I help leaders find the pearls hidden in their own experience. What they thought was tension becomes power. What they thought was complexity becomes clarity.
I don't just offer advice. I offer depth—because the current always runs deeper than we think.
Where I Generate Energy
When I'm not advising leaders, I split my time between the Hudson Valley, NY and Roatan, Honduras.
I generate energy underwater when I'm scuba diving. The ocean has taught me to let go of control, to let the current carry me to places in flow, and to be a kid again—full of wonder, play, and exploration.
I get out of my head and into my soul there. My best friend calls me a pearl diver into other people—and it's true both above and below water.
Why Leaders Work With Me
Most high-achieving leaders aren't struggling to succeed.
They're struggling to feel fulfilled while they do. They've scaled businesses, hit the metrics, and led teams at the highest level—but deep down, something's off.
That's not burnout. It's disconnection.
Most high-performing leaders arrive in Doing mode—chasing results, optimizing time, proving value. But fulfillment lives in the shift to Being—where leaders remember who they are beneath the roles and metrics. And when that remembering takes hold? That's when Becoming begins. Not just better leaders. But bolder humans. More grounded. More visionary. More whole.
What We Build Together:
Strategic clarity around your identity and values
Decision velocity powered by the Intuition Accelerant™
Energy reallocated toward what moves the needle
Legacy—delivered by design, not by default
I coach with the insight of an operator, the clarity of a strategist, and the courage of a thought provocateur. Because growth doesn't come from comfort. It comes from the right question, asked at the right time, by someone who's been there.
"Tracey's uncanny ability to derive meaning from the unspoken is a gift. Her operator credibility, strategic depth, and no B.S. style bring transformative clarity." — PE-backed CEO

I use story to spark shift—whether from Kodak's blind spot or a Chick-fil-A turnaround
