CMO | LEADERSHIP COACH | FRACTIONAL CMO

Teresa Low

I work with leaders and founder-led brands at inflection points.
When what used to work no longer works, and the next move isn’t obvious yet.

When success stops feeling clear.

You’ve checked the boxes, worked hard, and built success. Yet something feels off. What used to work no longer works the same way.

Whether you’re leading a team, navigating a career transition, or growing a founder-led brand, I help bring clarity to the messy middle so you can move forward with confidence.

Free Leadership Diagnostic

Getting unstuck starts with seeing a pattern.

If you’re carrying a lot, adapting constantly, or quietly questioning yourself more than you should, this short diagnostic helps you see what’s actually driving how you’re leading right now.

It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and name what’s been hard to articulate.

Meet Teresa

For more than 30 years, I built and led brands and marketing teams at companies like Hershey, Beam Suntory, and Winebow, and most recently served as Chief Marketing Officer at Acme Smoked Fish.

Across those years, I learned that leadership often becomes hardest at inflection points. The moments when what used to work stops working and the next path forward isn’t obvious yet.

Having spent much of my career as an outsider in the room, I developed a different way of seeing. I learned how to read patterns, ask better questions, and bring clarity to complex situations.

Today, I work with leaders and founder-led brands navigating those same moments of transition.

Through coaching and strategic partnership, I help people step back, see clearly, and move forward with confidence and intention.

If you’re standing at a crossroads in leadership, business, or life, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

What I Offer

 

Choose the path that best fits where you are today.
Each engagement is designed to help you step back, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence in your leadership.

Even the best athletes have coaches. Not because they are weak, but because they are committed to performing at their highest level.

For leaders navigating growth and change, coaching creates the space, structure, and perspective needed to keep evolving without burning out.

Clarity Sprint

A focused three-month coaching engagement for women at a crossroads who are ready to pause, reflect, and realign.

Together, we uncover what’s next by reconnecting you to your values, strengths, and vision. You leave with renewed confidence, a clear direction, and the energy to move forward with purpose.

 

Lead From Within

 

A six-month coaching journey to clarify your leadership story and elevate your presence, inside your organization or beyond it.

We translate your clarity into action through positioning tools, visibility strategies, and a leadership narrative that feels authentic not performative. You emerge with the language, confidence, and presence to be seen for who you truly are.

 

Leadership Momentum

An ongoing coaching partnership for women leading through growth, change, or transition.

We focus on sustaining confidence, deepening influence, and building the systems and support to lead with calm authority. This is for leaders who are no longer climbing. They are shaping what comes next.

FRACTIONAL CMO

Helping Founder-led Brands Scale with Clarity

After more than 25 years leading and transforming global brands, I now partner with scaling companies to bring clarity and focus to their next stage of growth.

My career began at Ogilvy & Mather, and continued through senior brand leadership roles at Hershey’s, Beam Suntory, and most recently as CMO at Acme Smoked Fish.

Today, I work with founders and leadership teams to sharpen strategy, align brand and marketing, and build organizations that grow with intention rather than chaos.

Whether refining your brand story, uniting your team around a clear vision, or designing a scalable marketing model, I bring both strategic discipline and creative energy to every engagement.

If you’re navigating your next stage of growth, let’s talk. 

Life is too short to be stuck.

“Teresa helped me realize that stepping back doesn’t mean stepping away; it means creating space for others to rise. I’ve become a more trusting, empowering, and grounded leader because of her guidance - and our culture has never felt more intentional or aligned.”

Katie C., Head of Sales & Marketing

“Teresa’s mentorship never feels like a checklist - it’s organic, real, and full of lightbulb moments. She leads with honesty and care, making it safe to be vulnerable. Her belief in my potential, even when I doubt myself, gives me the courage to keep growing as a leader.”

Semi S., Graduate Student & Emerging Leader

“Before working with Teresa, I felt caught between two identities - the artist and the executive. She helped me see that those qualities aren’t opposites; they’re fuel. Teresa unlocked a new understanding of leadership rooted in creativity, clarity, and self-trust. It’s changed how I lead and how our company operates.”

Katie C., Head of Sales & Marketing

“Working with Teresa to bring my book "Get Grounded" to life was one of the greatest gifts. She has an extraordinary gift for translating strategy into clarity, creativity, and confidence - grounding me in the belief that my story and my voice truly matter.”

Armine G., Author & Business Management Professional
