My Unique Background

Hi! I’m Sana Ross — a Neuroleadership Consultant, Training and Development Professional, Certified Leadership and Executive Coach, and a dynamic leader with over 20 years of experience.

I also have:

  • expertise in leveraging neuroscience to enhance learning strategies and drive organizational growth;

  • a proven track record in developing high-impact learning programs and managing cross-functional, high-performing teams;

  • experience in operating in high-pressure, high-stakes environments;

  • knowledge of how to foster an environment of inclusion, collaboration, and continuous growth.

My experience as an educator started in 2003, when, I began training bank managers to understand the nuances of small businesses and entrepreneurship. This role not only honed my skills but also ignited my passion for mentoring.

Over the years, I've guided ambitious founders, professionals, and executives. My goal has always been to expand their perspectives and elevate their skills, blending my financial and leadership background with neuroleadership principles to offer a unique mentorship experience.

My finance background has been instrumental in my journey. I've successfully navigated companies through the waters of debt and equity funding. As an ex-CFO, my approach to education is not just about numbers, but about building frameworks that support long-term educational and professional growth.

Leadership, for me, is about alignment and vision. Managing teams from a few to over thirty professionals, I've learned that true success comes from a united team working towards a common goal. 

Today, as a seasoned Neuroleadership Consultant and Certified Leadership Coach, I continue to share my journey, hoping to inspire and mentor the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. Every step has been about moving forward, learning, and giving back, making each milestone not just a personal success, but a communal triumph.

Leveraging my diverse industry background and passion for education and mentorship, I have achieved significant milestones:

  • Strategic Leadership: I've spearheaded complex investment projects and overseen company operations, showcasing my ability to navigate and manage high-stakes scenarios effectively.

  • Financial Acumen: My expertise in fundraising and portfolio management highlights my proficiency in handling significant responsibilities and making impactful decisions.

  • Executive-Level Management: Ascending to C-level roles, I've combined strategic vision with operational know-how to drive organizational success.

  • Neuroscience Application: Integrating neuroscience into my practice, I've developed strategies to enhance cognitive functioning and decision-making in professional settings.

  • Expert Mentorship: Over ten years of mentoring startup founders has honed my skills in guiding others towards financial savvy and peak performance, making me adept at unlocking potential and fostering growth in various individuals and teams.
