Change the way you lead, change your life

Leadership Coach & Facilitator

Hi, I’m Annalise Koltai, I partner with leaders and teams through the deep work of transformation.

You’ve scaled codebases and teams, and now the hardest problems are human. I partner with technical founders and execs to expand their leadership range, increase their capacity for complexity, and the emotional intelligence required for conscious hyper-growth. This isn’t traditional coaching. It’s high-precision transformation for you, your team, and what you’re building.

The Approach

Leadership development

For founders and execs ready to evolve how they lead.

Team coaching

For teams operating below their potential—or breaking under scale.

Off-site & retreats

For leaders who know that stepping back is the fastest way forward.

    E.J., Chief of Staff, Tech

  • “This circle reshaped how I lead. Clearer communication, confident delegation, deeper trust—with peers and with myself.”

    K.M., Director, UX

From startup scrappiness to scaled influence, my clients lead at companies where the stakes and the standards are high.

Whether you're a founding engineer navigating Series B chaos, or a VP stepping into cross-functional leadership at a high-growth giant, this work meets you at the edge of your next evolution.
