Meet Janet Piller

LEADERSHIP COACH | FORMER FINANCE EXECUTIVE  | TRUSTED THOUGHT PARTNER

Backed by Experience

GUIDANCE FOR THE JOURNEY AHEAD

For more than two decades, I worked in senior finance roles at the World Bank, leading cross-cultural teams and navigating complex challenges across continents. Along the way, I also partnered with, consulted for, and volunteered with a range of nonprofit and mission-driven organizations—work that has shaped my deep belief in service, empathy, and purposeful leadership.

Coaching is the next chapter of that journey. I especially enjoy supporting women and professionals in transition—those seeking clarity, direction, or simply space to reflect and consider what’s next(plan the path ahead) with intention, clarity, and confidence.  

My goal is to create a supportive space for honest conversation, fresh insight, and steady growth—on your terms.


Volunteer Work

Janet has volunteered with several organizations focused on mentorship, women’s leadership, and community development. Her work has included coaching early-career professionals, serving on nonprofit advisory boards, and supporting local initiatives around education and economic empowerment. Through these experiences, she’s deepened her belief in the power of service, listening, and long-term impact.
