Hands-on support
Hi founders and inspirational leaders!
Ex-Morgan Stanley, ex-McKinsey and a serial solopreneur, I am American but based in Paris for over 30 years. I run the European alumni mentor network for the Wharton Business School and currently mentor and advise startups in addition to my activity as a Public Speaking and Personal Development Coach.
Besides coaching corporates on soft skills, I coach startups on their pitch and pitch deck. Combining my ability to instantly understand their tech/concept with my accumulated diverse business experience, investor view point and graphical prowess is profoundly impactful for the startup.
I was a founding team member for an EdTech startup (2021 -2023) that originally hired me to help with their pitch deck but turned into a full time gig where I was head of platform/acting CTO and head of Coaching. This gave me invaluable experience on what its like to fundraise and live in a 0 to 1 startup culture, so I know what you are going through!
I am especially keen to work with startups that are very complex as this is my expertise: helping craft their story so that everyone understands what they do and who they are in a sentence or two. Sounds easy, but it's quite difficult!
Also, if you are interested in expanding into the UK and Europe, I have over 30 years of experience to help you navigate the culural landscape and connect you with the right people to move your project forward.
I am currently trying out the digital nomad lifestyle so not sure what time zone you'll find me in, but please connect with me on linkedin and wherever I am, I'll be happy to meet with you to see if there is a fit!
