A fearless reinventor, Sally-Jo’s careers have been fulfilling and dynamic, from her start in Big Pharma and medical device sales to her first exciting pivot into the food industry.

It was there that she grew her love of collaborative teamwork and became a trusted creative partner to Fortune 500 companies, advertising agencies, news organizations, and celebrity chefs.
After becoming widowed with a young daughter, Sally-Jo pivoted again, leveraging her lifelong interest in human development with extensive coach & leadership training, launching Mercury Coaching & Consulting, LLC in 2011. She now partners with leaders at all levels to provide customized executive coaching, leadership development, and mental fitness training as well as specialized grief leadership coaching.
Sally-Jo focuses on growing our capacity to lead courageous conversations that pave the way for successful business outcomes. She is an advocate for co-creating positive workplaces where truth, curiosity, resilience, and humor are valued, and rewarded.
“I was very alone running my company. I have a team of 20 people, but when it came right down to it, I felt pretty alone. What I’m finding now, for the first time, is that I have other people stepping up and joining me. It’s fantastic!”
