A Career Built on Global Perspective
Before founding Executive Coaching Group, Herma built extensive professional experience across international shipping, commercial real estate, and global consulting.
Working with organizations across industries and cultures provided valuable insight into the universal leadership challenges that executives face—communication, trust, adaptability, accountability, and alignment.
This diverse experience became the foundation of her coaching philosophy: that meaningful leadership transformation begins with the way leaders think, communicate, and engage with others.
Building Executive Coaching Group
Founded in 1987, Executive Coaching Group was established long before executive coaching became a standard investment for organizations.
Under Herma’s leadership, the firm has grown into a respected executive coaching and leadership development practice serving multinational corporations, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and executive teams.
Her practical coaching methodology focuses on identifying underlying communication and behavioral patterns that influence leadership effectiveness, enabling organizations to create high-performing cultures capable of navigating continuous change.
Throughout her career, she has worked with organizations including JPMorgan Chase, Marsh McLennan, and Bellevue Hospital, helping leaders strengthen performance through greater clarity, alignment, and accountability.
Leadership Beyond Competence
Herma believes transformational leadership extends far beyond operational expertise.
Exceptional leaders inspire trust, communicate with precision, empower their teams, and foster environments where individuals can perform at their highest potential.
Rather than offering standardized solutions, Herma guides executives through self-discovery, helping them recognize hidden barriers, strengthen leadership presence, and develop practical strategies that deliver measurable organizational impact.
Executive Coaching in the Age of AI
As artificial intelligence continues reshaping modern organizations, Herma views technology as a powerful accelerator for leadership development rather than a replacement for executive coaching.
She believes AI can enhance leadership through improved analytics, communication insights, and faster feedback, while emphasizing that authentic transformation still depends on human qualities such as self-awareness, emotional intelligence, accountability, and meaningful communication.
Organizations that successfully integrate technology with human-centered leadership development will be best positioned for long-term success.
