About Me
For the past 10 years, I've worked with visionary leaders who are shaping the future—founders, executives, and investors driven by impact, innovation, and a deep sense of purpose. I've coached over 200 people, from execs at companies like Tesla, Apple, Slack and EDF Renewables, to dozens of start-up founders. My coaching focuses on clarity, resilience, and intentional leadership—helping leaders navigate high-stakes decisions, scale their influence, and move through pivotal transitions with confidence.
With a global upbringing across the U.S., France, and Colombia, I’ve developed a keen ability to bridge cultures, decode complex interpersonal dynamics, and guide high-performing individuals through the unseen forces that shape leadership. My work is infused with strategic insight, deep intuition, and a commitment to conscious leadership.
I coach leaders at the forefront of climate innovation, sustainability, and transformative business—those who want to create lasting impact. I also coach my clients during times or personal growth and transition.
As a Techstars mentor and executive coach to founders in high-growth sectors, I understand the intense demands of leadership and the need for self-mastery, emotional intelligence, and bold decision-making.
At Elan Vital Coaching, I help my clients redefine success on their own terms, elevate their presence, and step fully into their next chapter—professionally and personally. Because leadership isn’t just about strategy; it’s about who you are becoming.
Let’s talk if you’re navigating a high-stakes transition, expanding your leadership influence, or ready to lead, live and love with more depth, power, and purpose.
About me: I'm currently based in France and coach clients anywhere in the world, from Silicon Valley to Sydney. I'm a mother and wife, a human committed to elevating all facets of life, a certified Yoga Teacher, a geopolitics nerd and adventurous cook.

After being promoted to VP at a high-growth tech company, I found myself navigating a perfect storm of changes—post-COVID transitions, shifting company strategy, and new leadership expectations. Sylvana became my essential compass. She helped me identify priorities, eliminate energy-draining distractions, and leverage my core strengths to shape both my role and my future vision. What sets Sylvana apart is her ability to bring emotional and actionable clarity to complex situations. Working with her made every leadership decision more effective and authentic, especially those impacting numerous employees. For high performers seeking to work smarter, not just harder, Sylvana's coaching creates the breakthrough moments that transform both professional impact and personal fulfillment.

When our startup grew from 40 to over 250 people, my responsibilities expanded significantly. On the recommendation of senior leaders who had worked with her, I began coaching with Sylvana—and it was a game changer. Over five months, I gained clarity on my leadership style and learned to shift from trying to be perfect at each step to owning the full system impacts. That mindset shift made me more effective, more present with my teams, and more focused on the meaningful outcomes. Her coaching not only elevated my work but also helped me create more space for life outside of it. If you’re looking for a sparring partner who is thoughtful, direct, and deeply committed to your growth, Sylvana is a coach you can truly count on.

With Sylvana’s coaching, I learned a lot about myself, which helped me grow as a leader and as a human being. I learned about what drives me, about my “zone of genius” and Sylvana provided simple tools and methods to let go of unhelpful habits and implement new ones that would best serve my goals. One of the most important outcomes was I learned how to have a bigger impact while being less busy. As a coach, Sylvana is incredibly good at asking the right questions, listening, then asking more questions to help uncover what’s really going on, but then she also has something to say. She has clear ideas and input. From our second meeting, she already had revealed key points where she saw I could evolve as a leader. Sylvana manages to create an environment that is equally trusting and open, but also demanding. She raises the bar. You quickly get to a place where you openly discuss the most relevant points. She wants you to achieve results and is committed to your success, and (very important) she also makes this work fun. It was a perfect mix that led to some powerful shifts in my life.

Sylvana’s coaching has been a game-changer for me and my cofounders. For me, coaching has been useful in two major ways: first, I work more effectively with the tools Sylvana’s given me. I’m accomplishing 10X more at Humble Sea and working less (not joking). And second, I’m uncovering the things I was unaware of -both in myself and my actions- and identifying the behaviors that are destructive to myself and the business, but are invisible to me. Sylvana is personable and always accessible. I would recommend her to any founders growing a fast-scaling business who want to ensure they’re managing their time, energy, and “internal stuff” optimally so that they can focus on what's important in their business and life.

Sylvana is great at helping high-level entrepreneurs reach their goals in an efficient and practical manner. She specifically coached me as a serial entrepreneur juggling a number of startups at the same time, on issues I was having in regards to reaching my goals. From time management to high performance, basically things I did not know were hindering my progression and slowing things down. She opened my eyes in many aspects; about my businesses, lifestyle and work performance. The cool thing is that she looks at everything and assesses your situation accordingly, in order to come up with a solid, actionable, long-term plan for how to best reach your goals. I highly recommend getting some sessions with Sylvana, if you feel like you need some clarity and direction to your work, and life in general.
