From Google VP to Executive Coach

Prior to coaching, Tracy held senior leadership roles at some of the world’s most influential companies. As VP and Chief Compliance Officer for Google Payments, he built and scaled teams from 6 to 60 staff and 300 contractors across 5 global locations, supporting revenue growth from $3B to $70B annually and transaction growth from 10M to over 1B transactions.

His career also spans product management, operations, finance, and venture investing at organizations including Visa, CyberSource, and First Data — giving him a working understanding of the challenges tech and fintech leaders face, not just a theoretical one.

Tracy Wilk was my leadership coach, and he was amazing. He helped me improve my leadership skills and professional growth. He’s very knowledgeable, supportive and insightful. We covered topics such as leadership development, change management, communication skills and personal branding. He challenged me to think critically and creatively. He also facilitated a 360-leadership review with feedback from my peers. This was very valuable and helped me understand my leadership impact. He also shared his experiences and insights from his leadership career, while always encouraging me to be authentic, ‘intentional’ and proactive. He consistently shared learning resources throughout our journey. Working with Tracy was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend.

Tracy is a leadership and executive coach with an operator background. His coaching is effective because he can relate to his client’s contexts. He is purposeful and thoughtful in his coaching style. Tracy’s coaching helped me gain new insights into my strengths, blind spots, and opportunities despite being a deeply introspective leader. When I work with executive/leadership coaches, I look for those who don’t just stay in the theoretical space but help clients get to actionable plans. Tracy helped me grow as a leader through his unique style of questioning, his leadership philosophies, coaching techniques, and operating experience. He helped me design an action plan that has helped amplify my impact. He is my go-to coach when I have to make critical career decisions.

Tracy is a fantastic executive coach, he helped me navigate a major career transition. I have worked with a few different coaches, reason I liked working with Tracy is because he creates a non-judgemental space while being honest. He asks thought provoking questions that get to the heart of the matter very quickly. Given my background of having been brought up in India, and working in Europe and US before moving back to India recently, I was apprehensive before I started working with him but Tracy listened well, adapted his coaching style and made me feel comfortable. I also loved that we hit the ground running from the first conversation instead of taking a lot of time in the beginning to go through history first. Tracy brings his own leadership experience, his extensive experience in coaching others and a nuanced perspective to the discussions that is very valuable for those in leadership positions.

I cannot recommend Tracy enough for the profound impact he had on my journey from founding my company to raising funds, hiring, bringing the product to market and onboarding clients. His coaching was not just valuable; it was transformative. Tracy’s strategic guidance and unwavering support were my pillars of strength during the toughest times. He pushed me to be more assertive, to think strategically, and to have a long-term vision. Tracy’s mentorship, coaching and friendship was like a compass, always guiding me in the right direction, helping me make strategic decisions that were instrumental in our company’s success. His ability to see the bigger picture and his dedication to my growth as a leader were nothing short of remarkable.
