About Me

Mission & Values

Transform with Irini prepares leaders to navigate the most unpredictable part of any organization: the human system. We serve as a catalyst for transformation, helping leaders make a lasting impact during times of uncertainty and change. Our work guides individuals toward clarity and self-mastery by cultivating perspective, courage, and integrity.

Grounded in trust, intentionality, decentralization, and data privacy — values that guide how we build relationships, design solutions, and conduct business with those we serve.

Professional Experience

As an entrepreneur and product leader with fifteen years of experience building and growing companies, I now leverage my hands-on and strategic expertise to coach and consult organizations through periods of growth.

My early work in healthcare and technology startups deepened my understanding of complex leadership in dynamic, rapidly transforming industries. Subsequent roles in crypto and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) expanded my perspective on governance models, and ultimately reinforced my belief that leadership fundamentally connects an organization's human, technical, and operational systems—even in these decentralized environments.

As an executive coach and organizational consultant, I help leaders broaden their self- and situational awareness to successfully start and grow businesses. My approach synthesizes strategic business insights with deep knowledge of human behavior, while always prioritizing data privacy and ethical transparency.

Education

My interdisciplinary background and commitment to continuous learning enables me to bridge business strategy, human behavior, and technology implementation to enhance decision-making and collaboration across multiple business domains.

I earned a B.S. from Syracuse University with majors in Entrepreneurship Emerging Enterprises and Finance, and a minor in Psychology. I expanded my technical knowledge through full-stack web development and design bootcamps, gaining critical insights into how tech teams build and operate. My professional development continued with a Product Owner certification from Scrum.org, a Sales Growth certification from eCornell focused on strategy, and a Human Systems Certification from Grinnell Leadership formalizing my interest in neurobiology and human behavior.

Self-Mastery and Honoring Heritage

My Greek, Italian, and Irish heritage has deeply shaped my values and approach to leadership. Across generations, my immigrant ancestors were entrepreneurs and artisans, crafting furniture, preparing food, and designing spaces that brought people together. They passed down not just skills, but a legacy of resilience, hospitality, and pride in doing meaningful work with care, often despite the conflict and hardship that led them to seek a new life in America.

That legacy fuels my passion for human-centered product development and intentional leadership. I’ve inherited a drive for quality and an eye for design. In the fast-moving world of startups, I’ve learned to balance that pursuit of excellence with the need for agility. At the core of my work is a desire to build with and for people, creating systems, experiences, and teams that are built to last.

After losing my father and paternal grandfather in 2022, my connection to my Greek roots deepened. Although I never knew my great-grandmothers Zoe (Greek for "life") and Irini ("peace"), their names and strong female legacies inspire my work. A life of peace is not passive. It requires a conscious effort to navigate challenging circumstances with harmony and grace—creating the level of ease that leaders and organizations need to succeed and grow.
