Emily Avila

Founder

From Silicon Valley to São Paulo, I have guided leaders and their organizations through their highlight reels — the celebratory milestones that defined their trajectory. I have also coached them through some serious challenges. Whether it was preparing researchers for FDA hearings or advising CEOs before investor conferences, I have acted as a trusted advisor and coach to executives at some of the world’s largest organizations.

Using a proprietary framework that I have refined over two decades, I help leaders develop memorable messages that stand up to tough questions.
