About Bianca

Bianca is a leadership coach with over 20 years of experience in the tech industry and the founder of Sprout Coaching. She helps business owners and emerging leaders grow in confidence, clarity, and capability through the power of coaching.

Having lived both sides of the leadership challenge - as an employee who didn’t feel supported, and as a manager unsure how to truly empower her team - Bianca knows how hard it can be to lead well without the right tools. After training as a Transformational Coach, she brought those skills back into the workplace and saw first-hand how coaching helped her team step up, take ownership, and thrive - all while easing the pressure on her shoulders.

Now, she supports business owners and managers to lead with authenticity, develop strong team dynamics, and create sustainable success from the inside out.
