Fortenberry
EXECUTIVE COACH, LEADERSHIP EXPERT + PEOPLE & CULTURE STRATEGIST
I’ve spent more than 20 years helping leaders step into their highest potential and I want to partner with you next!!
Through challenging, business-facing roles at global industry leaders such as BP, Pentair, and GE HealthCare, I’ve gained the real-world insight required to help leaders navigate complexity and thrive in high-performance environments.
I work with mid- to senior-level decision-makers and teams who are committed to strengthening their leadership impact. As an Executive Coach and Leadership Expert, I help you build an inclusive culture where expectations are clear, accountability is strong, and meaningful results are paramount.
I’m not here to hand you a checklist. I’m here to help you design a people strategy aligned with your performance goals — and to develop leaders who build teams that win.
MY APPROACH
I believe that leadership is a whole-person experience.
great
It starts with self-awareness, thrives with empathy, and leads with accountability. My work combines strategic insight, lived experience, and coaching practices that help leaders show up more powerfully in every space they lead.
Now, it's time for me to help you take your leadership to the next level.

More about me ...
I love investigative TV. Cold cases are most intriguing.
Family is everything! I get to do life with my husband, an electrical engineer, automation sales leader (he sells robots - how cool is that?) and theology scholar. We have two amazing daughters who keep us well entertained.
I love music and dancing. Choreography is what I thought I would do as a professional career. LIFE determined otherwise and that is completely ok.
Giving back is a personal core value. Since my induction into Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. in 2001, I’ve worked with my sorority to enhance the quality of life for others while advising international executive leadership on people practices and leadership development.
