— Rhea Kapoor, VP Engineering, on 18 months of coaching with Ananya Rao
I spent eleven years running product and ops teams before I became a full-time coach — most recently as VP Operations at a 400-person logistics company. I work with senior ICs, first-time VPs, and founders who don't need someone to tell them what to do. They need someone to ask better questions and hold them to their own answers.
No pitch, just an honest conversation about whether this is useful for you right now.
A minimum four-month engagement, every other week, same time, no rescheduling churn.
Email or voice notes whenever something comes up — you're not saving it for the next call.
“I stopped bringing Ananya my calendar problems in month three, because I finally understood they were never calendar problems.”
