Dr. Margaret Alabi
I'm the pharmaceutical executive who learned that the most powerful career moves happen when you stop conforming and start pivoting authentically.
By day, I champion patient voices as a Global Dermatology Patient Advocacy executive. By night, I lead The Pivot Consulting Group, guiding executives from Wells Fargo, Genentech, and Eli Lilly through strategic transformations that honor their true selves, the teams they lead, and the organizations they serve.

My unconventional path: PharmD from Xavier University → MBA from Yale → 36,000+ coaching hours → Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation.
The Pivot: Despite my pharmacy doctorate, I've never actually dispensed medications. Instead, I've spent my career proving that authenticity yields boundless progress.
Core belief: You don't have to choose between success and authenticity. The most resilient leaders and innovative companies emerge when we show up with courage.

When I'm not helping executives pivot, I'm practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, singing, or walking in Brooklyn with my standard poodles, Belle and Beau.
Here, I share insights on: Strategic career pivoting, authentic leadership, healthcare equity, and building resilient cultures.
