About

Who am I?

I’ve helped leaders of Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurs, and professionals unlock growth, reinvent their careers, and scale their businesses for over 30 years. Whether through my books, keynote presentations, Red Shoe Movement programs, or one-on-one strategic sessions, I’ve built an influential global platform designed to drive real impact. More importantly, I’ve cultivated a powerful network that serves as a catalyst for everyone I work with.

If you’re ready for actionable solutions, high-impact connections, and strategic conversations that move the needle—this is your moment. Let’s make it happen.

I call myself the Step Up Strategist because Step Up is not only the name of the signature leadership program of the Red Shoe Movement, but more importantly, what I will help you do. Step Up so that you can do whatever you decide to do. Step Up to the next level of your career or of your business.  That is the goal of us working together.

"Her attentive and insightful support was key in helping me gain clarity."
Mariela had a pivotal impact on my personal and professional growth. Her attentive and insightful support, both through our individual coaching and the Step Up Plus program, was key in helping me gain clarity on my career path. Being part of the annual leadership event with her and other leaders was a peak moment in my experience.

"I met Mariella Dabbah 11 years ago and together we launched the Step Up Plus program in Latin America."

I was also part of the year-long program that the company offered to our female talent. The program allowed me to build my network, meet other business women and build confidence in myself to really take the driver's seat of my career and go for what I really wanted. It also provided me with tools, a network and not just about myself but how to also support and encourage other females working around me in the company.
