Before becoming an executive coach, Allie held senior leadership roles in internal consulting, organizational development, communications, and strategy—she brings her deep understanding of the interior world of complex organizations to her coaching and consulting practice. Allie started management consulting at the Advisory Board Company, where she worked with executives at hospitals and health systems. From 2001 to 2016, she led multiple large-scale change efforts at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, serving as senior advisor and chief of staff for several C-level executives. Across her career, Allie has led strategic initiatives to redesign divisions, evaluate mergers and acquisitions, develop innovative operating models, turn around failing market segments and launch new businesses.

Allie is a Professional Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation and received her coaching certification at Georgetown University. She is certified in The Leadership Circle and the Predictive Index (PI). Allie serves as an Integrated Life Advocate for the Third Path Institute, which supports leaders in their pursuit of work-life integration, and is also on the faculty for Linkage’s Women in Leadership Institute. Allie has lived her own transformation. After spending significant energy in fear-based environments, she has learned to choose the unknown path over the false promise of security and to break stifling patterns to live her life with purpose. Her husband and two sons remind her to find the extraordinary in the ordinary every day. In open spaces of time, Allie can be found on her yoga mat, in her garden, or on a mountain.
