Democratizing and Scaling Coaching

About the speaker(s)

Justin McSharry is the Head of Learning and Development at General Motors, where he leads leadership development strategy across a company undergoing historic transformation toward electric and autonomous vehicles.

Before GM, Justin spent over five years at Dropbox, where he helped scale leadership development programs during a period of rapid post-IPO growth. His career began in engineering and sales before pivoting to sales enablement and ultimately L&D—always guided by a deep belief in human potential.

A certified integral coach, Justin brings a holistic lens to corporate learning, blending personal development frameworks with rigorous business alignment. He’s especially known for building coaching programs that scale, championing sustained behavior change, and creating space for authentic leadership in high-performance environments.
