Andrea Mignolo
Executive Coach, MBA, PCC
Over the last two decades I've had a pretty winding career path: testing video games, overseeing the digital side of Free Speech TV, teaching business English in Japan, and leading product at multiple tech start-ups with two exits and one currently at unicorn status.
These days I am an International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentialed PCC Executive Coach working at the intersection of leadership, business, psychology, and design. I partner with leaders to build effective organizations, high-performing teams, and lasting change. I work one-on-one with clients, coach executive teams, run group coaching programs, and design leadership development curriculum for organizations.
I hold an MBA from the Weatherhead School of Management where I studied Appreciative Inquiry, Intentional Change Theory, and Organizational Behavior with folks like Richard Boyatzis, Melvin Smith, and David Cooperrider. I completed my undergraduate work at Oberlin College where I designed my own major, Technocultural Studies.
I began my coach training at New Ventures West where I learned the methodologies of integral coaching for individuals and teams. Since then I've trained at The Strozzi Institute in the art of somatic coaching and leadership, with the Aletheia School of integral unfoldment, and with the Gestalt International Study Center.
I am also a certified meditation and embodiment teacher in the lineage of The Realization Process.
Outside of coaching I am a dedicated meditator, avid backcountry camper, and budding martial artist.
