About Jamie
Jamie Shapiro is an executive coach, nutritionist, speaker, teacher, researcher, and consultant—and the CEO of Connected EC. A survivor of executive burnout, she’s a leading authority on connecting well-being with leadership performance. Jamie has coached and developed high-performing teams since 1998 in executive roles inside large-scale corporations and, today, as a trusted CEO coach and their teams.
