Human Performance Across Leaders, Organizations, and Technology

Jacinta M. Jiménez, PsyD, BCC
Licensed Psychologist, Board Certified Executive Leadership Coach

My work focuses on how human performance is activated, sustained, and expressed across leaders, organizations, and technology, grounded in psychology and applied behavioral science.

I am a Stanford University–trained licensed psychologist and board-certified executive coach who advises Fortune 500 executives, private equity leaders, and CEOs on sustaining resilience and peak performance.

As a founding Vice President of Coaching Innovation at BetterUp, I was a key player in scaling the company to a $4.7B valuation, establishing it as the world’s largest digital coaching platform. Today, my work spans Fortune 500 companies, private equity, and global institutions such as NASA, Google, Hilton, Stanford Hoover Institute, ServiceNow, WarnerMedia, Chevron, Columbia University Zuckerman Institute, and Lockheed Martin.

With two decades of clinical and executive experience, I integrate psychology, business strategy, and science-driven approaches to performance to help leaders and organizations thrive in the most demanding environments while sustaining long-term success.

My insights have been featured in Harvard Business Review, Bloomberg, Forbes, Wired, Fast Company, and NPR. I am also the author of The Burnout Fix (McGraw-Hill), an international award-winning book on resilience and sustainable leadership.
