I help my clients grow as fast as their companies do. I love coaching startup founders as they build and lead high functioning executive teams, create successful products and services, secure rounds of funding, undergo massive growth, and realize personal happiness.

Prior to coaching, I was a technical co-founder with multiple successful exits and an IPO. I’ve seen that founders and senior leaders at startups require not just the skills that most coaches bring to the table, but also specialized knowledge of how startups are fundamentally different than established companies. I have coached 200+ founders over the past 18 years. I understand the unique hustle & passion that founders bring to their work, as well as the leadership skills they will need to refine to grow with their companies, and the hacks that make startup founders able to scale quickly.

I offer a blend of coaching, mentoring, and skill building. I will kindly but firmly offer difficult feedback, and challenge you to celebrate your successes. I believe that living with appreciation and joy is compatible with kicking ass and being wildly successful. I strive to be the coach that I wish I’d had myself as a founder.

At the beginning of your engagement, we will work together to will develop a set of shared goals; this framework helps to stay focused on the things you value most. If you’d like feedback from your colleagues, we can run a 360 degree review to gather anonymous feedback on your leadership. Each time we meet, we build an agenda together based on both current challenges and longer term goals, to help you to learn to stay focused on the things that will create the most impact. My goal is to help you learn while we’re together, but also to provide you with models and ways of thinking that you will benefit from throughout your career.
