About Ramona Shaw:

Studies have found that 40-60% of high-performing employees fail or underperform when appointed as managers within their first two years on the job. Since the vast majority of new managers never receive the leadership training essential for success in their role, high rates of failure result. Such situations are costly for both the managers who fear demotions or losing out on salary increases and promotions, as well as the organizations that lose talent and productivity. In response to this issue, Ramona Shaw runs The Leadership Accelerator, a 12-week program that coaches first-time managers to become confident, competent leaders who deliver results and who people love to work with. Through the program, she has helped hundreds of new managers at startups and leading companies — including Google, Twitch, Asana, Lionsgate, and Dropbox — successfully transition into leadership roles. Before becoming a leadership coach, Ramona worked at Partners Group, a global private markets firm with $127B in assets under management and over 1,500 professionals across 20 offices worldwide. At the firm, Ramona moved from a Junior Financial Analyst to Vice President in under six years.
