Stacy is an executive coach and trusted advisor who partners with leaders at pivotal moments – when the stakes are high, the path forward isn’t clear, and who you are as a leader is just as important as what you know.

As founder of Stride Executive Coaching, LLC, Stacy brings more than 30 years of experience working alongside CEOs, C-suite leaders, and high-potential executives to expand their influence, navigate complexity, and lead with greater clarity and impact.

Her approach is both rigorous and human. She combines real-world stakeholder insight, a rich exploration of each leader’s story, and validated assessments to surface what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what’s possible. She believes insight without action is incomplete, and action without insight doesn’t last. The shifts are not just leaders who think differently, but leaders who lead differently.

Her career includes more than two decades as an owner and partner at ISHR Group, formative experience in GE’s Human Resources Leadership Program, and ongoing work with PE-backed growth companies and global enterprises. She holds a Master’s in Human Resources from Michigan State University and is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation.

Stacy gives back through board service aligned to her passions in education, leadership, and environmental stewardship – including the Jeannette Rankin Foundation, MSU’s Women’s Leadership Institute, and the Torch Conservation Center.

Outside of her work, Stacy finds energy in movement, connection, and adventure. She and her husband, Alan (whom she met at Michigan State) have been married for over three decades and have three children, Emma, Brennan, and Gavin. While based in Atlanta, they return as often as possible to their Northern Michigan cottage, where you’ll find Stacy running, kayaking, cross-country skiing, and soaking in the blue waters of Torch Lake.
