In her second career, Tutti coaches and advises cofounders and tech leaders to embrace their unique leadership styles to achieve professional impact and a sustainable company culture.

Tutti's first book, Make Space to Lead, shows high achievers how to reframe their relationship with work. She’s currently bewitched with her second book on leading when you feel like an Other. Tutti grew up in seven countries on three continents and is settled in San Francisco as her home base.
