In this case, business is personal.

My name is Lisa Wadlin Holt. I’m a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience in executive leadership roles at enterprise organizations like Netflix, Walmart, and Ernst & Young.

This year, I “retired” from full time work. In addition to spending time with friends and family, I’ve endeavored to turn one of my passions — developing and mentoring other professionals — into my own coaching practice.

I hold an Associate Certified Coach™ (ACC) designation from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the coaching industry’s gold standard for training and certification. The ICF’s rigorous credentialing program adds a proven, evidence-based structure to my highly personalized and successful approach to coaching.

Because coaching is so uniquely personal, even for teams, it’s important to pick a coach with whom you connect. I hope that highlighting some of my career and personal achievements will help you determine if my services are right for you.

Associate Certified Coach for Lisa Wadlin Holt

  • I received my Masters in Accounting with an emphasis on Taxation from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia (Go ‘Hoos!). I was a senior tax partner at Ernst & Young before leading tax at Walmart where I had the privilege of leading 600+ professionals.

    Most recently, I served as Vice President and Head of Global Tax at Netflix, where I led a team of 120 colleagues.

  • From running to bike riding to yoga, I love being active and fit. You won’t find me slamming the creatine though, I participate in athletics for the camaraderie and the endorphins.

    I’m up for nearly any outdoor adventure and travel. Recently, I’ve ticked off some bucket list items — the NCAA Basketball Finals and several F1 races. And have many more to conquer!

  • Ultimately, we do what we do and are who we are because of the ones we love. I’m a proud mother of two adult sons, married to my partner in retirement fun, and best friend to many from my high school, college, and career days.

    I’ve included a few snapshots from my life. Like my clients, I’ve also had to navigate the intersections of my personal and professional paths.
