Carla Fowler - Applying performance management

Carla Fowler, MD PhD graduated from Brown University magna cum laude, earned her MD and PhD at the University of Washington, and completed her internship in general surgery at Stanford University. She then transitioned from her background in medicine and science to coaching and founded THAXA out of her passion for performance science, where the fields of strategy, productivity, and psychology intersect. Since its inception in 2013, THAXA’s scientific approach to individualised coaching has attracted a devoted client base of dozens of executives at firms ranging from Fortune 500 technology companies to venture-backed start-ups to innovative non-profits.

Carla’s coaching methods draw on the multidisciplinary field of performance science to generate the best ideas surrounding strategy, execution, and mindset to assist leaders in their endeavours. Over the past 10 years, she has distilled the key principles of performance into understandable concepts and a method that helps leaders incorporate these ideas into their day-to-day performance, helping them go faster and improving their results.
