I’m Lamorna, an Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Gallos. Prior to becoming an accredited coach in 2023 I spent 10+ years working in tech consulting, venture capital, and scale-ups. As an operator, strategist, and leader I was focussed on translating people’s ideas into meaningful outcomes. Now I coach ambitious professionals to translate their self-reflection into business impact.
As I moved further up the ladder in these organisations I started to observe the positive effects of leaders who were self-reflective, self-responsible, and self-reflexive. When this inner-work could be aligned with outer-action it created a flywheel of trust, respect, and impact. Not only did the individual feel more personally aligned with their own values and purpose, but their ability to solve and handle complex problems became more intuitive and responsive. The result - a more attuned leader able to respond flexibly and pragmatically to business challenges.
Coaching was introduced to me through the various businesses I worked with, and I started to see firsthand the powerful impact it had. Offering a dedicated space for aligning the inner-work with the outer-action, having a neutral party offer perspectives and observations you couldn’t see, and someone holding you to account on living your grander vision.
As a coach I blend business acumen, leadership triage, and coaching methodologies. I bring creativity and alternative sources of wisdom into the process, and will be there to challenge you, champion you, and hold you to account.
I believe that for each of us, work is an expression of who we are - it offers a medium through which we can grow, and it is a channel to create impact in the world. When we bring deep reflection, clear intention, and purposeful action to each and every moment at work, we unlock its inherent power to transform ourselves, those around us, and our world.

I am an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation - the world’s largest global organisation and leading accrediting body for professional coaching.
I have completed two intensive coaching courses, and continue to invest in my professional development through training, mentoring, and supervision.
You'll find me spending a significant proportion of my time with my husband Dino and our son Odin. We prioritise flexibility, freedom, and adventure - as two freelancers we enjoy our fluid schedule which allows us to design each week differently, to travel lots for work or family, and to make space for the important rituals and routines in our lives.
I enjoy my meditation and yoga practices, am a keen student of the spiritual path (diving into different wisdom traditions and working with different teachers), and love reading about psychology and philosophy. The Enneagram is a psycho-spiritual tool I find very compelling, and I’m always learning more about how we can manage our minds.
Since becoming a mother and walking that path, I’ve become increasingly inspired and curious about the inherent spiritual awakening that is on offer to mothers. I am currently working on my substack - The Monastery of Motherhood - and hope to have it live soon!
