I’ve met, interviewed, and partnered with hundreds of coaches globally, and Eric is in the top 1% based on my experience working with so many coaching professionals.
RACHEL BARAK
MANAGER, EXECUTIVE COACHING PROGRAM
Eric is one of the few people in the world I can talk to about my biggest challenges—strategic and personal. He gets it, and knows how to bring out the best in me. An incredible person and coveted coach of senior executives, he has helped me through some of the toughest decisions and processes I’ve faced.
CEO, Fortune 100 Company
Eric is one of those rare coaches who not only does great work with leadership (our CEO), but also understands the complex dynamics at the highest levels of big companies. He partners exceptionally well with all stakeholders (board members, a global leadership firm, myself). He is proactive, effective, and compassionate. I would highly recommend Eric to my peers.
Chief People Officer
Fortune 100 Company
The best coaches in the C-suite bring not only skill in leadership development, but they also navigate complexity well and show a curiosity for the business and broader world. Eric checks all those boxes, and adds the perspective of a veteran Silicon Valley coach.

Eric is a true professional. He is extremely easy to communicate and collaborate with, an incredibly quick study, and adept at helping people achieve behavioral change. I have worked with many coaches during my career as an HR executive, and am able to say with total confidence that Eric ranks at the top of his profession in his abilities, commitment and character. I would not hesitate to consider Eric for future assignments here, or to recommend him to any of my colleagues.
Sr. Director of HR

Eric has given so much to our company that it’s hard to calculate his value. I’m so grateful for how he helped me grow, and how his deft engagement with our whole leadership team brought us closer and helped boost our performance.

Eric coaches with deep empathy and intentionality. In the midst of a busy quarter, he provides a space for reflection and growth — and even belly laughter, bringing levity to the journey.
TEKEDRA MAWAKANA
Co-CEO
WAYMO (ALPHABET’S AUTONOMOUS DRIVING COMPANY)
Eric is an exceptionally talented active listener, asking provocative questions in a way that elicits unique, useful insights. I’d recommend him to any executive who wants to become not only a better leader, but a better person.
Chief Privacy Officer, Fortune 100 Company
I think of my time with Eric as high-value for me and for Google. He has a way of focusing in on questions and strategies that help unlock my most important challenges.
Asim Husain
VP/GM, Google
During my time as Chief People Officer at PayPal, I wanted to raise my confidence and impact as a speaker in public forums. Eric Nitzberg was a fantastic partner in that journey. Eric is a coach that doesn’t push you, rather, he encourages you out of your comfort zone in a way that feels very natural and authentic. I grew a lot, professionally and personally with Eric’s support.
MARCIA MORALES-JAFFE
FORMER CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER
PAYPAL
By pushing me to change my mindset, Eric helped me transform some crucial relationships. As a result my career has been more successful and satisfying.
BRAD VOLLMER
SVP, TREASURER
GILEAD SCIENCES
Through his coaching in preparation for a regulatory hearing, Eric played a vital role in helping us get a critically important medicine approved …through a focus on the developing leadership skills of key individuals who “move the needle” of the team. Over the past decade, he has also worked one-on-one with a number of our executives, again with a focus of effectiveness of their leadership skills. I’ve found Eric to be unusually insightful about people and the possibilities of their growth.
Rick Winningham
CEO, Theravance Biopharma
Eric’s insights about personal dynamics and cultural perspectives were really helpful to me at a time when I needed to make a decision about leaning in or stepping out. If you’re at a similar crossroads and need help finding your internal compass, I’d recommend him wholeheartedly.
