SLC was founded by three women who know what it costs to lead at the highest levels. We built this room for ourselves first. Now we’re building it for others.
Meet Our Team

Kruti Kapadia is a Professional Certified Coach and founder of Kapadia Coaching, known for the Authority Amplifier — a rigorous six-month methodology for senior technology leaders navigating the shift from deep expertise to executive authority. She brings to SLC the rare integration of gold-standard consulting rigor and coaching presence, and a fluency in both organizational systems and the interior landscape of the leaders navigating them.

Cindi Johnson is founder and principal of Thrive Development LLC and a neuroscience-informed leadership development professional with more than 20 years of experience across the federal government, private sector, and nonprofit organizations. Her distinguishing gift is making rigorous science feel like a conversation — holding intellectual depth and practical accessibility in the same hand, and making both feel effortless.
Maya Larson is President of Colleague Consulting, a women-owned firm with more than 25 years delivering leadership development, coaching, facilitation, and change management to some of the most consequential organizations in the federal government. She brings to SLC something no consultant or coach can manufacture: the view of the organizational buyer. Maya has been the person who decides whether a leadership investment gets funded, built out, and sustained.
