I work with founders, CEOs, executives, and senior leaders navigating growth, complexity, transition, or scale—especially when decision-making, leadership structure, or accountability no longer feels fit for purpose.

I live by a simple principle: plant seeds that will grow trees I will never sit under.
I help, deliver, and then get out of the way.

In 2024, my work expanded from 1:1 contribution to mentoring and advising leaders globally, helping them see themselves, their organizations, and their decisions more truthfully.

I have an uncommon ability to surface what is real—quickly, calmly, and without agenda. I won’t tell you what you already know. I help you look in the mirror safely and clearly, so you can lead with confidence.

My background spans operations, product, sales, investor relations, people leadership, and AI strategy, across startups, scale-ups, and established companies, working across multiple countries and continents. I’m the author of You Decide and Leading Magnanimously, focused on leadership, decision-making, culture, and the human impact of AI.

I help with:
Founder & Executive Coaching
• Founder-to-CEO transition
• Becoming operationally dispensable
• Leadership team design
• Authority, accountability, and decision systems

• AI governance as a leadership system
• AI’s impact on decision-making and accountability
• Board-level AI strategy
• Practical AI adoption for leaders and teams

I’m a strong fit if you:
• Feel like too much depends on you
• Are navigating growth, scale, or complexity
• Are adopting AI but unsure how to lead with it
• Are preparing for bigger scope or board-level responsibility
• Want clarity, not hype or tactics
• Are open to hard truths delivered with care

I’m not a fit if you want playbooks, growth hacks, or someone to tell you what to do.

How I work:

My style is calm, direct, and grounded in real experience.
I use conversation—often Socratic coaching—to help you:
• Identify blind spots and patterns
• Separate signal from noise
• Clarify what only you should own
• Design leadership and decision systems
• Navigate difficult conversations
• Use AI intentionally and responsibly

I don’t tell you who to be. I help you become more of who you already are, with less friction and more leverage.

Between sessions, I’m available for async check-ins, targeted resources, thoughtful challenges, accountability, and occasional introductions.
