Carol Huang

I am an experienced executive coach and people leader with a strong foundation in business management and organizational development. In my current role, I lead an annual mentoring program and oversee cross-functional training, professional development initiatives, and process improvement efforts. I also play a key role in facilitating strategic planning, emotional intelligence, and diversity initiatives, all aimed at enhancing organizational effectiveness and employee engagement.

With over 15 years in the hospitality industry before joining UCLA in 2016, I led diverse teams within renowned global brands, managing complex operations and driving operational excellence. This experience sharpened my leadership capabilities, enabling me to inspire high-performing teams and navigate the intricacies of cross-cultural and multi-generational dynamics. At UCLA, I have successfully applied these leadership skills to enhance organizational performance within the unique structure of the UC system.

In 2022, I earned a Master of Professional Studies in Organizational Development and Change from Pennsylvania State University, expanding my expertise in process consulting and incorporating appreciative inquiry into my coaching approach. I am passionate about empowering individuals to grow by providing them with the tools and guidance they need to succeed independently.

With my diverse experience in business administration, people leadership, and coaching leadership, I offer a comprehensive and results-driven coaching approach that helps individuals and organizations thrive.
