Who you are is how you lead

live & work on purpose

Welcome!

I'm Carina Valinda Rumberger

I am a founder, executive, coach, and advisor with over 20 years' experience building leaders, teams, and businesses, and a particular focus on high-growth, international organizations and teams.

I partner with leading change-makers to craft solutions, designing work and life on-purpose.

My goal is for you to be grounded in who you truly are, and lead authentically from there.

Together we will cultivate courageous leadership, catalyzing your professional and personal growth, impact, and satisfaction.

My Approach

Executive Coaching

Major changes?

Feeling stuck?

My role as a coach is to help catalyze your growth and shift your blockers. As you become rooted more firmly in who you truly are, you lead with authenticity from a strong base, generating energy and satisfaction.

Together we cultivate your leadership for maximum efficacy, satisfaction, and resilience.

Team Performance & Growth

People Operations

Every day, a leader says one of these things to me:

"My time, energy, and enthusiasm are being sucked up by people problems."

"Why is it so hard for them to just do the job and get along?"

"Can you please fix my team?"

I work with these leaders and teams, leveraging experience and applying insights and tools to unlock performance and growth.

As an advisor or fractional executive, I collaborate with founders, investors, and leaders to bridge the gap between creative innovation and operational maturity.

I combine diagnostics, coaching, tools, and training to quickly optimize your people and organizational strategy, systems, and processes.

I help reduce the noise, so you can focus on growing your product, footprint, and revenue.

The results?

Change that sticks and growth that lasts.

Teams powered by effective communication and leadership.

Performance and innovation become habits, not outliers.

Organizations scale smoothly without breaking or over-hiring.

What Clients Say

"Carina is one of the most active and well-respected mentors at Endeavor! She's incredibly thoughtful and intentional in both what she communicates and how she communicates it. She brings a rare and valuable blend of empathy and understanding, while at the same time being clear and direct.

For example, in a recent mentoring session with a founder who was struggling with challenges around organisational culture, Carina highlighted that culture often reflects the founder - how they show up in the business and what they choose to tolerate in terms of values and behaviours. While this was a potentially difficult message to hear, Carina delivered it with such professionalism, empathy, and respect that it was received openly and constructively by the founder. In fact, he described it as one of the highlights of the session, as it gave him a new perspective and clarity on his role as a leader.

How I support leaders

If you're like most executives I talk to, a lot of your time, energy, and enthusiasm are eaten up by people problems. And growth makes this exponentially harder. The good news is that there are common pitfalls along the growth curve and many wheels that you don’t need to reinvent. While only you can do the work of cultivating your leadership practice, you absolutely don’t need to do it alone.

I partner with leaders to get results.

By tailoring evidence-based principles of leadership performance, neuroscience, and organizational psychology to each unique operating context, I have helped dozens of executives transform talent and vision into tangible growth and performance.
