About Chelese
Leadership Advisor.
Executive Coach.
Trusted Thought Partner.
Chelese Perry is a leadership advisor and executive coach to senior leaders navigating complexity, expansion, and meaningful next chapters.
She partners with accomplished leaders who have achieved external success and are now called to lead with deeper clarity, alignment, and intention.
Executive Leadership Experience
With more than 30 years of executive, corporate, and entrepreneurial leadership experience—including senior roles at The Coca-Cola Company and Abbott Laboratories—Chelese understands firsthand the visibility, responsibility, and pressure leaders carry at the highest levels.
Why This Work Matters
She built that career while raising two children and, in time, walked her own inflection point—the unmaking and remaking that reshaped how she understands leadership, identity, and what it takes to lead a life that is aligned.
The Chelese Perry Group was founded out of that ground, not above it.
Her frameworks are lived before they are taught.
How Chelese Works
Known for her ability to synthesize and simplify complex issues, Chelese gives senior leaders clarity they can act on—holding strategic rigor and deep humanity in the same conversation.
