AS SEEN IN
LEADERSHIP UNDER PRESSURE
I’m Avery Roth, a CEO coach with a background in finance and applied psychology. I bring a calm, composed presence, a finely attuned instinct for people and pressure, and a sharp performance edge. My private equity-backed CEO clients hire me to elevate execution, strengthen judgment, and sustain performance under pressure.
ENGAGEMENTS
Example engagements include working with CEOs who are: new to working with private equity investors; first-time chief executives; leading businesses through new phases such as turnarounds or integrations; or need help managing internal friction or misalignment that is impacting business performance.
My approach is a working partnership that blends rigorous strategic thinking with deep psychological insight. First, CEOs and I think through challenges. Then, I offer strategic and psychological insights for consideration. We hash out plans to whatever extent is needed, and the CEO goes out and executes steadily knowing I’m in the wings if needed for on call reinforcement or during our regular sessions.
ABOUT AVERY
My background blends finance, leadership strategy, and applied psychology. So I bring both the operating mindset and human depth needed to support CEOs in high-stakes environments. I think like an operator, read people quickly, and coach with psychological precision.
I’ve worked with high performers across sectors and have seen how pressure can distort judgment, team dynamics can get tense, and execution can easily begin to slip. My role is quiet, focused, and exacting so leaders can hear themselves think, orient themselves to what matters most, and deliver results.
PRAISE
Kevin McColly, CEO, Coinstar (An Apollo Global Management Portfolio Company)
“I highly recommend Avery for any executive coaching need, but especially for one taking on a new role in the C-suite.”
“Avery’s coaching has been a critical part of my success over the last year. I first engaged with Avery as I was transitioning from CFO to CEO. In addition to all the normal stresses of a CFO to CEO transition, the company was dealing with a distressed debt situation, adding more complexity, and requiring me to play both roles for several months. One area of focus for me, particularly early on with Avery, was my mindset. Stepping into a first-time CEO role can feel overwhelming, especially given the circumstance. Avery was an invaluable resource in helping me navigate all the fears and doubts that can come with stepping into a new executive role in a difficult environment. Avery provided me with real, tangible tools for emotions I experienced as a new CEO.
Another strength of Avery’s is her ability to adapt to my needs on a week-to-week basis. As the mindset work required less focus over time (thanks to her coaching) the coaching topics took on a broad range. Avery can adapt well to a variety of business situations. Whether it’s org design, Board of Director guidance, or challenging me on a strategic business decision, Avery’s experience allows her to quickly pivot and address whatever topic you may need to focus on.
I highly recommend Avery for any executive coaching need, but especially for one taking on a new role in the C-suite.”
