Angela Justice, PhD—Executive coach specializing in biotech and HR leadership, blending science-backed strategies with creativity to empower leaders to navigate complexity and achieve results. — **Angela Justice, PhD**—Executive Coach and Strategic Partner to Biotech and HR Leaders

Hi. I’m Angela.

Executive coach, biotech strategist, and former Chief People Officer.

I work with high-performing leaders who’ve built deep expertise in their function—and are now being asked to lead in ways that stretch far beyond it. That shift requires more than technical skill. It calls for strategic thinking, organizational fluency, and the ability to influence across teams, functions, and the business.

That’s where I come in.

I bring a rare combination of executive experience, behavioral science depth, and learning strategy expertise. Whether I’m coaching senior leaders or helping organizations build systems that develop leadership from the inside out, my work is designed to shift how leaders think, how they show up, and what they make possible.

Published and Featured In Leading Industry Platforms

I’ve published thought leadership in top industry publications and been featured in podcasts and media outlets focused on leadership, strategy, and biotech. Whether writing or speaking, I aim to bring clarity, real-world context, and actionable insight to every conversation.

Angela's coaching has accelerated my timeline through major roadblocks, ultimately unlocking the mindset which has opened me up to transition from individual contributor to marketing leader. She offered exceptional guidance at every step of the journey, which I have implemented with measurable impact. If you’re considering the Executive Accelerator program, take the plunge. You won’t regret it!

— Syeda R., Pharmaceutical Marketing Leader
Since working with Angela, I know exactly where I want to be, what I can do for the people and organizations I work with, and how I can change our world. While everything was inside me, Angela helped me understand it all and put it into action.

— Matt F., Chief Digital Officer, Board Director
Angela provides coaching that is both clear and practical, offering actionable insights that are easy to integrate into your personal conversational style. Thanks to the coaching, I feel more empowered to present my experience in a compelling and impactful way as I pursue new career opportunities.

— Karen L., Global Biotech Strategic Insights Leader
Angela helped me engage with my peers more effectively and build stronger relationships. Our collaboration has enabled me to become a more effective executive leader, creating a diverse, inclusive and highly performing team that embraces challenges.

— Robert H. , Biotech Chief Scientific Officer, Board Director
Working with Angela has been a turning point. Over the past few months, I’ve seen a real shift in how I engage with my team, peers, and senior leadership. I now have a clearer understanding of how others perceive me and how to tailor my communication to different audiences. This transformation has strengthened my leadership presence and made a lasting impact on how I lead.

— Ashling H., Translational Science Leader
Before working with Angela, I struggled to position my company in a market where 'bigger is better' is the default mindset. Rather than competing against that stereotype, Angela helped me reframe our unique strengths and articulate the distinct value we bring to clients. She has an uncanny ability to approach challenges from a perspective you likely hadn’t considered, making her both a strategic thought partner and a trusted voice. If you think executive coaching is just about leadership development, you’re missing the unique perspective and practical solutions a talented and experienced coach like Angela brings to the table.

— S. M., Founder & CEO
I was impressed by the clarity and scientific structure of Angela’s coaching. It offered a path to leadership growth that didn’t ask me to set aside my principles or way of thinking—something I hadn’t expected, but was grateful to find.

— DL, VP, Discovery Research
Working with Angela brought me clarity and confidence at a pivotal moment in my career. When I felt stuck, she helped me set clear criteria for decision-making and take meaningful action toward my goals. Having worked with several coaches, I can confidently say Angela is top-tier—smart, strategic, and pragmatic.

JS, Senior Executive & Board Director
Angela has been instrumental in helping me uncover my values, clarify my goals, and define the legacy I want to leave. Her pragmatic approach and ability to simplify complexity have helped me realize my potential. She’s my go-to for insights on leadership, organizational challenges, and personal growth.

— Amanda K., VP, Medical Affairs
