Professional Coach
Lynne has spent over 3 decades in key roles in sales, consumer marketing and business development with multinational companies that are widely recognized as industry leaders. Her “bookender” companies, Wyeth Philippines and The Coca-Cola Company are considered her most cherished where she had spent a combined 30 years of corporate experience. She developed and launched brands which includes Bonamil, a growing-up milk which has been in the market since 1994 and Real Leaf, a ready-to-drink tea, which has been in the market since 2009.
Lynne’s corporate experience had given her a wide market knowledge and deep human insight that has enriched her personal and professional growth. In her last major role, she looked after the company’s strategic alliance with its largest local partner. She was involved in penetrating the international market, key in giving her a fuller view of the business and the organization, here and abroad.
Lynne had the benefit of undergoing numerous valuable training programs, the last of which was a half year leadership program with The Coca-Cola Company from which she received a Harvard Business Corporate Learning certification.
Leaving her corporate stint at the end of 2019, Lynne knew exactly what she had wanted to do next and that was to answer her calling for coaching. Pandemic, notwithstanding, she went into an ICF accredited, intensive training program, under Benchmark Consulting. Lynne has received her one-on-one mentoring from no less than the country’s top master certified coach, Mr. Julius Ordonez. More recently, Lynne has completed her certification in an advanced level of proficiency coaching under internationally acclaimed master certified coaches, Mr. Julius Ordonez and Ms. Marcia Reynolds.

Her clients include senior managers, directors and leaders of local and multinational companies, a CEO and Board Chairman, SME businessmen, entrepreneurs, HR practitioners, teachers and individuals. One of her recent engagements was with the middle and senior level managers of Accenture, the largest BPO company today.
