My name is Cristina Custodio and I am the Social Leadership Coach. I help social leaders realize their dreams of a more equitable and sustainable world, in their own style and on their own terms.
I have 25 years of experience in leadership and management. Since 2011, I have coached social leaders in education, philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, community development, economic sustainability, the environment, public health, STEM, the United Nations, and the arts.
I have served as a coach for the Fundación Banco Popular’s Community for Collaboration and Social Innovation (CCIS) and facilitator for the Puerto Rico Children and Youth Task Force. I am currently a Fellow Coach with BetterUp.
I am on the global Board of Directors for ICF Coaching Education and serve as Chair of its Diversity-Equity-Inclusion-Social Justice-Belonging (DEIJB) Advisory Committee. I have been a global Ambassador for the ICF Foundation.
I am an ICF-MCC (Master Certified Coach from the International Coaching Federation) with a BA (History & Literature) and an MBA from Harvard University. I hold additional certificates in Conscious Business Leadership Coaching, Group Coaching, Higher Ground Leadership Coaching, Social Innovation, MOOC Development, and Critical Issues in Urban Education.
