Work With Me
My Core Framework
Clarity
Does everyone know exactly what is expected of them and what success looks like, who owns it, and why it matters? Clarity isn't just what you say, it's what they hear. Your job is to remove all doubt.
Focus
Are you doing only the things that matter most? Every wasted second is lost forever. Focus means clearing obstacles, saying no to everything else, and making sure your team has what they need to succeed.
Urgency
Speed is a strategy and time is not our friend. Are you moving as fast as possible with true urgency? Now, more than ever, speed is a requirement. Where can you accelerate to capture opportunity and create value?

More about meCommon Questions
Who do you work with?
I coach founders and CEOs of venture and PE-backed companies, typically Series A through growth stage. I also work with executives reporting to CEOs who want to level up their leadership.
How does coaching work?
We meet regularly, usually every two weeks for 60 minutes. Between sessions, I'm available via Slack, email, or text. I want to be your first call when something comes up.
What makes your coaching different?
I've been a CEO three times with three exits. I'm not theorizing—I've lived it. I'll tell you what I actually think, not just reflect your thoughts back at you.
How much does executive coaching cost?
Coaching fees depend on the engagement structure and your company's stage. I work with venture and PE-backed founders, so pricing reflects that market. Contact me for specific details.
