As a coach and consultant, Terre Tuzzolino capitalizes on insights gained during a management career that spans three decades at one of America’s leading financial services firms. Before joining the coaching profession, Terre rose through the ranks at Allstate Insurance Company to her last position as Assistant Vice President of Marketing.
Having held senior-level positions in direct marketing, corporate relations, advertising, and brand/marketing communications, Terre has first-hand experience with executives’ challenges. She has managed people, processes, and bottom lines. She’s led successful change efforts, spun off divisions, developed new business, launched departments, directed award-winning communications, appeared on television/on radio/in print, and met with irate consumer groups. She’s had successes, made mistakes, and learned from them both.

Her first-hand executive experience, communications expertise, and broad education result in an approach that helps leaders increase their effectiveness by capitalizing on what they’re already good at and building new skills vital to their continued success.
