Hola!

I’m Nayli Russo.

Leadership Consultant, Business Strategist, and your partner in building a high-performing, self-sustaining organization.

My journey has been anything but conventional. Born and raised in Venezuela, I began as a musician, transitioned into pharmacy, and eventually leapt into the world of strategy and leadership. Along the way, I encountered challenges that required resilience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of what it takes to lead effectively.

Today, I draw from these diverse experiences to create transformational programs that empower founders and CEOs to lead with vision, clarity, and impact. My focus is on helping hands-on leaders step back from daily operations to build cohesive, autonomous teams and focus on the big-picture strategy that drives sustainable growth.

Imagine this:

Growing up as the third child, I was often in the background, learning to observe and listen rather than lead. I even followed my mother’s path into pharmacy—a choice that felt safe and familiar, yet didn’t align with my own vision.

But life has a way of revealing our true calling, doesn’t it?

When I moved to a new country and started over—taking a role as a nanny despite holding a pharmacy degree—I had a powerful realization: true leadership isn’t about titles or labels. It’s about finding the courage to redefine your path, stepping boldly into the unknown, and building something greater than yourself.

Pharmacy was just the beginning. Deep down, I knew I was meant to guide others in a much more profound way.

That’s why “Own Your Power” isn’t just a phrase; it’s my mission. It means letting go of limiting roles and stepping into a purpose-driven path that aligns with your strengths and vision. Now, I help founders and CEOs do exactly that—empowering them to lead with impact, build cohesive teams, and create a legacy that endures.

A Different Path to Leadership

My journey has taken me from playing the oboe for the Miranda Symphony to earning a pharmacy degree in the U.S., stepping into an executive role with a Major League Sports team, and now thriving as a leadership consultant and coach. Each of these steps taught me that success isn’t a straight line—it’s about redefining possibilities, adapting to change, and building a path that aligns with your vision.

Leadership is about more than just following a set path. It’s about courageously stepping into new roles, empowering others, and creating impact that lasts.

No matter where you are in your journey, you have the power to shape your own story and lead in ways that elevate both your team and your vision. If you're ready to embrace the next chapter and build a legacy, I’m here to guide you.

This is Your Opportunity to Transform Your Leadership.

My mission is clear: to empower leaders to step confidently into their role, build self-sustaining teams, and drive lasting growth. It’s time to move beyond the daily grind, overcome the barriers holding your leadership back, and lead with clarity and purpose.

Whether it’s through in-depth coaching, transformative workshops, or tailored leadership frameworks, I’m here to help you create a business that thrives without your constant oversight. Imagine leading a company where every team member is aligned with your vision, and you have the freedom to focus on growth, strategy, and impact.

Ready to take the next step? Whether you're scaling your team, stepping back from operations, or redefining your leadership approach, I’ll be by your side—helping you unlock your full potential, amplify your impact, and build a legacy that endures.

Let’s turn your leadership journey into a story of purpose, and sustainable success.

My Coaching Style

I approach leadership like conducting a symphony. Just as a conductor unites individual musicians to create a cohesive masterpiece, I help leaders see the full “composition”, guiding each part toward a shared vision. Every team member plays a vital role, and my job is to help you bring them together in harmony—each person empowered to contribute their best, while you lead with clarity and focus.

My coaching isn’t just theoretical. I’m all about practical application—transforming concepts into actionable strategies that make a tangible difference. I’m here to challenge you, support you, and guide you through the uncomfortable moments, pushing you to unlock potential you didn’t know you had. With radical candor and strategic insight, I help you align your vision with clear goals, creating a path for sustainable growth and lasting impact.

Let’s build a future where you’re not just leading but orchestrating a team that thrives, allowing your strengths and vision to shine without limits.

I’m incredibly proud of the work I do and the leaders I support through Russo Leadership.

My vision is simple: a world where every person leads with clarity, inspires their team, and creates lasting impact.

My journey through leadership has been anything but straightforward. I’ve faced the challenges, the long days, and those moments of uncertainty—just like you. It’s navigating those highs and lows that fuels my passion for helping other leaders build sustainable, high-performing teams and step into their roles as visionary leaders.

What drives me is being authentic and open, sharing real-world strategies that make a difference. My mission is to help founders and CEOs create empowered organizations where both they and their teams can thrive—leading with purpose, building alignment, and achieving growth without constant oversight.
