Sally Grisedale

As a former chief design officer, product designer, and leader at Apple, Yahoo!, Meta, and startups in Silicon Valley, I’ve spent 20+ years learning what it takes to overcome glass ceilings, build resilience, and confidently lead. Since 2019, I have implemented my signature coaching program to support incredible, influential, career-minded, creative leaders like you. My goal? To help you become the type of senior leader, savvy startups and Fortune 100 companies compete to hire. I work with clients across the UK, Europe, and the US, ready to embrace a transformational change and navigate career transitions. If you’re prepared to step into a future where purpose, fulfillment, and confidence drive everything you do, I’d love to help.
