After a decade at Sony, Libby led public relations and corporate communications at media giants Universal and Turner Broadcasting. After nearly 15 years in leadership roles, she exited the corporate world to become a first-time entrepreneur in her forties, founding Libby Gill & Company, an executive coaching and leadership consulting firm based in Los Angeles.

For the past 20 years, Libby has guided clients to lead their teams through change, challenge, and chaos.

In her executive coaching, leadership consulting, and keynote presentations, Libby guides others to:
