Executive Career & Leadership Coaching for Seattle Professionals
Seattle's professional identity is built around technology. Amazon, Microsoft, and the ecosystem they've spawned have created one of the world's most competitive talent environments for technical and non-technical leaders alike. But with that comes a specific set of career challenges -- the pace of change is relentless, the political dynamics inside large tech organisations are complex, and the line between strong individual contributor and strong leader is harder to cross here than almost anywhere else.
Corby Fine works with Seattle-based managers, directors, and senior executives who are navigating that complexity and need a thinking partner who understands what it actually takes to lead in a high-growth, high-accountability environment.
Whether you are trying to break through from director to VP at a major tech firm, managing a transition out of a large organisation into a startup or fractional role, preparing for a C-suite move, or trying to understand why your performance is strong but your advancement has stalled, the work starts with an honest assessment of your specific situation.
The Segment of One methodology is built around one principle: the best career strategy is designed exclusively around you. Not what worked for the person in the office next to you, not a LinkedIn playbook, not a generic framework. Just a clear-eyed look at where you are, where you want to go, and what is actually in the way.
Seattle clients work with Corby virtually, with sessions available across all time zones. Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute discovery call -- no pitch, no pressure.
