Hi, I’m Paulina.
I serve as a CEO coach and leadership advisor in Dallas, working with business owners and executives who want to build strong companies without losing what matters most.
I didn’t set out to become a CEO coach.
I set out to help leaders and teams make things work — especially when the stakes were high and the path wasn’t obvious.
Over time, I kept finding myself working with business owners carrying immense responsibility: employees, customers, families, and outcomes that affected entire communities.
From the outside, many of these companies looked successful.
Inside, the leaders were often isolated, overloaded, and short on honest perspective.
That’s when I realized most CEOs don’t need more information — they need trusted counsel and the right room.
Today, I serve leaders across North Texas as a CEO coach in Dallas, helping them step back, see clearly, and lead with intention.
What I Do
I work with CEOs, founders, and senior executives who are building serious businesses and want their success to mean something.
Through CEO forums, advisory relationships, and executive coaching in Dallas, I help leaders:
Strengthen their companies without becoming trapped inside them
Build leadership teams that carry real responsibility
Navigate growth, transition, or complexity
Make decisions aligned with their values and long-term vision
Protect family and personal health while leading at a high level
My work is practical, grounded, and deeply relational.
No hype. No formulas. Just honest guidance for leaders making consequential decisions.
My Journey & Expertise
Before this work, I spent years inside organizations as an operational leader and fractional COO, helping teams execute, solve problems, and scale sustainably.
Today I serve as:
A C12 Chair facilitating CEO peer groups in Dallas
A fractional COO / Integrator advisor
A leadership facilitator for executive teams
A trusted sounding board for owners making high-stakes decisions
I’ve worked with leaders across industries — from professional services to manufacturing to growth-stage companies — all facing the same reality: leadership is heavier than it looks.
Outside the Boardroom
I’m a wife and a mom first — roles that matter far more to me than any professional title.
My family keeps me grounded in what leadership is ultimately for:
not status or achievement, but stewardship, relationships, and legacy.
We live in North Texas, where life is full, imperfect, and deeply meaningful.
Based in North Texas, I work with CEOs and business leaders throughout Dallas, Collin County, and the surrounding region.
