My story
I’m passionate about helping leaders and professionals realize their potential, navigate change with confidence, and create careers and lives that reflect who they truly want to be.
As an ICF-certified Executive & Leadership Coach (ACC) and Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), I partner with emerging leaders, young professionals, and experienced professionals to gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward with intention.
Before becoming a coach, I spent 25 years in the technology industry, working with leading companies including Adobe, Cisco, Oracle, MicroStrategy, and Pure Storage. My experience in marketing, strategic partnerships, and business development taught me that success isn’t just about what we know—it’s how we think, communicate, lead, and respond to challenges.
Today, I bring that business perspective to a curious, collaborative, and action-oriented coaching approach. I help clients recognize their strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, navigate transitions, and turn new perspectives into meaningful action.
Live by design, not by default.
I believe we have the power to shape our paths rather than simply react to what comes next. Through greater self-awareness and intentional choices, we can create careers and lives aligned with what matters most.
Whether you’re growing as a leader, navigating a career transition, or exploring what’s next, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect.
Let’s explore what’s possible.

“The coaching process with Kris Nash helped me become more thoughtful in my decisions, more effective in my communication, and more intentional about how I show up for my team. Most importantly, I developed a stronger sense of ownership over my leadership and my future.”

“Kris is an empathetic listener who asks probing questions and offers thoughtful reflections. After leaving my career and moving into semi-retirement, I felt that I had too many options and interests and was feeling scattered and unfulfilled. Working with Kris allowed me to assess how I was spending my time and energy. I was able to set some priorities and narrow my focus so that I am living more intentionally and purposefully. It was an invaluable experience that I continue to benefit from.”
Caroline L.
Recent Client
“At a career crossroads, Kris helped me step outside the habit of my career and think more intentionally about what I wanted from my next chapter. Our conversations helped me align my work with what I value most—health, work/life balance, and meaningful connections—and gave me the clarity to choose a very different path. Kris helped me see possibilities I hadn’t given myself permission to consider and I am so much happier for it.”
