Author of Emotionally Charged.
Emotionally Charged is a masterclass in managing the emotional complexities of leadership – Dorie Clark, author of The Long Game.
Dina is an avid equestrian and skier.
Dina’s work focuses on equipping leaders to navigate the emotional demands of modern organisational life. In Emotionally Charged, and her Harvard Business Review articles, she translates scientific research into practical tools leaders can use to manage emotional labour, prevent burnout, and build trust. Dina reframes emotional intelligence not as a soft skill but as an essential capability for effective and sustainable leadership. She offers evidence-based strategies that help leaders channel emotions productively, create psychologically safe environments, and support the wellbeing of their teams – leading with clarity, compassion, and resilience.
As an executive coach and strategic advisor Dina has partnered with executives at the global firms including Google, Netflix, Goldman Sachs, Adobe, PwC, Stripe, Dropbox, and Sephora. Prior to her coaching career, she served as EVP of a boutique private equity firm and an affiliated portfolio company. She also scaled and led a 75+ person organisation at a digital marketing agency, having started out as a management consultant at PwC, where she led broad organisational transformations. Dina holds an MS in industrial/organisational psychology and an MBA from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. She is credentialed by both the ICF and EMCC as an executive and team coach.

“Emotionally Charged is an invaluable resource for today’s leaders. Few leadership competencies are as important in today’s volatile world as emotional self-regulation, and the ability to help others navigate the emotional dimensions of complex, uncertain work is not far behind.”
