Peter Oey, CFO for Grab | Prior CFO for LegalZoom, 2015-2020
“A fantastic CFO Coach… instrumental during a time of major global organizational change. She helped me discover the answers to critical leadership questions. We focused on 1. Broadening the range of my management style; 2. Driving accountability with my senior team and organization; and 3. Strengthening my communication skills and strategy. Edith was very generous. She regularly supported me with additional research and materials between our sessions. She was always present, thoughtful and highly insightful.” Mike Truex, CFO − ChyronHego
“Edith is one of the top executive coaches in California for CFOs and Finance VPs, as well as with COOs. Her coaching style is focused and direct, while encouraging and inspiring. She’s able to quickly zoom in on the most pressing issues, and equip CFOs to have the difficult conversations with their colleagues and teams that create buy-in and drive accountability for results.” Gabriela Coldea, Managing Director − Arch 360
“Working with Edith was transformational. I’ve grown by leaps in areas ranging from becoming more influential with colleagues and in the Boardroom, to improving team performance, to getting control of time. Coaching enabled me to come to grips faster about necessary changes on my team – overcoming the mental obstacles that kept me from making some hard decisions.” Mendy Fry, Acting CFO – Autism Learning Partners
Among Top Executive Coaches for Finance Leaders
“If your executive is willing to fully make the commitment to grow, you’ll be very pleased with the results of coaching. From broadening vision, to eliminating behavioral issues that are hurting performance, to leading change and creating an accountable culture for execution, the investment for us has about a 5x ROI.” David Miszti, CEO – Easy Car Shipping
“Edith blends qualitative and quantitative assessments, real-time observations and in-the-moment coaching that enable me to get the “aha”, time and again. She has an amazing way of quickly putting her finger right on the issue and articulating what’s going on in surprisingly clear and direct ways. I’m able to challenge the process more effectively and move the needle consistently.” Christine Solberg, CFO
“Her insights are illuminating, actionable and constantly aligned with the bigger picture. Edith is a pleasure to work with. She’s detail-oriented and has enormous capacity to build, create and dissect complex issues. Also very creative at developing new strategies and processes.” David Maughan, SVP – DaVita
“PE-ownership can be an unsparing work environment for CFOs and COOs. The expectations are both high and broad: quickly-developed and impactful management reporting, hands-on operational impact, treasury and corporate finance mastery, among others. Edith's work with our CFO – and the partnership that they formed – resulted in very significant personal and professional development. The ground they covered has allowed our CFO to become an important factor within our executive team capable of meeting the internal and external expectations of this critical position. Our CFO is perceived differently because her work and impact is different. I believe that Edith's coaching and mentorship played an important role in the determined improvement and evolution that our CFO has demonstrated.” Bill Goldberg, CEO - Interactive Health

“This has been a monumental change of mindset and attitude that has become an essential part of my more operational focus. Edith sees what you don’t and reflects it back to you better than any mirror. Yet gently.
