Hey there! I’m Nayli Russo.

Strategist, executive coach, and a tireless advocate for women’s empowerment in the workplace.

Born and raised in Venezuela, my journey hasn't been a straight line. I started off as a musician back home, shifted gears into pharmacy, and then made a bold leap into strategic leadership in sports. Through it all, I've tackled some pretty tough challenges with a mix of resilience and strategic thinking. Now, I pour all these eclectic experiences into my work, creating programs that help women smash glass ceilings and lead with authenticity.

Formerly the Vice President of People & Strategy and now a consultant and executive coach, for sport teams like the Pittsburgh Pirates, my focus is on transforming potential into stellar performance. My path wasn’t carved out by following the usual routes—it’s been all about chasing my passions and staying true to my purpose.

Growing up as the third child, always feeling a bit invisible, I used to be that kid who was terrified of the spotlight. Can you believe it? I was shy, always hanging back, yet desperate for some attention, thinking I had to be the best at everything just to get noticed. I ended up following my mom’s dream for me to become a pharmacist—not really my choice, but I craved her approval so much.

Life’s had its ups and downs, you know? Moving to a whole new country, starting from scratch as a nanny with a pharmacy degree in my back pocket, I learned something big: We all have this incredible power inside us. We get to define our own path, craft our stories, write our own next chapters. Even though my degree said “pharmacist,” I knew I was more than that. Pharmacy was just a stepping stone to my real dreams.

This is why “Own Your Power” isn’t just a slogan for me—it’s my life strategy. It’s about pushing past the labels others might stick on you and carving out a path that really showcases your strengths and fires up your passion.

From playing the oboe for the Miranda Symphony, to being a pharmacist in the US, to working as an executive for a Major League Sports Team, and now running my own business as a consultant and coach, my career shows what’s possible when you take control of your story and break the mold. We can all create our own paths and shape our journeys, even if it means entering new fields or moving to new countries.

Traditional paths are not the only ways to succeed.

My Coaching Style

My coaching philosophy extends from personal to professional realms, blending life's roles with academic rigor and practical leadership. I infuse my sessions with the wisdom of a mother, wife, and seasoned professional, holding an eMBA and PharmD, plus certifications in Leadership, HR, The 6 Types of Working Genius, and Lean Six Sigma. My approach prioritizes practical application, embracing radical candor and strategic insights to confront the uncomfortable, unlocking untapped potential. I guide professional women to harmonize their ambitions with personal values, crafting actionable plans towards the best versions of themselves, fearlessly showcasing their strengths to the world.

I’m really proud of the work I do and the company I lead. We envision a world where every woman recognizes and achieves her full potential, and we work hard every day to make this vision a reality. You can learn more about how we operate here.

My journey through the corporate world has been long and diverse. I’m not here as an expert who knows everything, but as someone just like you—a person who has faced numerous challenges, tough days, and my own fears and doubts.

I value being open and genuine, sharing real-life lessons and practical tips to help us all overcome the challenges we face. My goal is to change the narrative for women in corporate America, creating pathways for every woman to find their purpose and enjoy a fulfilling life and career, staying true to themselves without needing approval from others.
