Harriette Schumacher
Harriette Schumacher is a Master Certified Executive Coach (MCC) and trusted advisor to senior leaders and organizations navigating complexity, growth, and sustained performance. She works with executives who understand that organizations cannot outperform their leadership and that leadership effectiveness is shaped by systems, conditions, and expectations, not individual capability alone.
With more than two decades of experience in executive coaching and leadership development, Harriette has partnered with organizations across North America, including Nike, Amazon, Ford, TJX / Winners, Twitch, and Estée Lauder. Her work spans complex, multi-layered organizations across retail, technology, energy, transportation, and professional services.
Harriette is often engaged when leadership development needs to go deeper than skills training and broader than one-to-one coaching alone. She supports executive coaching, senior team effectiveness, leadership assessments, succession readiness, and leadership-system health, helping leaders address the underlying dynamics that quietly shape performance, trust, and decision-making.
Known for her direct yet deeply human approach, Harriette creates environments where leaders can think clearly, speak honestly, and take responsibility for their impact without defensiveness or performative change. Clients value her ability to name what others avoid while remaining grounded, respectful, and focused on meaningful progress.
Harriette holds the Master Certified Coach (MCC) designation from the International Coaching Federation, a Master’s degree in Executive and Organizational Coaching, and the ICD.D designation. She partners closely with CEOs, CHROs, and leadership teams committed to building leadership capacity that is resilient, aligned, and capable of holding complexity over time.
