Founder & Executive Coaching

Is your company or team growing rapidly and you want to make sure you’re thriving as your responsibilities become bigger?

Maybe you’ve just raised a new round of funding and you know that brings higher expectations around revenue and customer growth.

To build an exceptional company, you need to be an exceptional leader. At a slow-moving established company you can be successful by leading in the same way year after year. Not in startups. Your company is growing and pivoting so quickly that your role 6-12 months ago barely resembles what it is today and what it’ll need to be to 10x or 100x your company.

Most startups fail. Everyone who founds a venture-backed startup or becomes an executive at one is super smart and they all work really hard. That’s a bare minimum. The best leaders work smarter and they do so by getting outside counsel from the right experts.

When leaders embark on the next level of scale, they call me.

Typical profiles of leaders who work with me

  • You’re a Technical Co-founder, CTO, or VP of Engineering (Series A through E) whose team is rapidly expanding and you know that you need to get out of the day-to-day to use your time where it’s highest leverage and to think strategically 1+ years out

  • You’re a Founding CEO who has built a successful Seed, Series A, or Series B company and are excellent at getting things done yourself, yet you know that to get your company to the next level of success you need to build and start operating through your executive team that is growing in size and seniority

  • You’re a Chief Product Officer or VP of Product at a fast growing company and you’re finding that this growth has added complexity and communication overhead and that your current processes and ways of working are not scaling

  • You’ve recently been promoted to lead an entire function (or the entire company) and you want to make sure you perform even better in your new role than you did in your previous one

  • When the need arises with my clients, I also coach executive teams on how to work more effectively together and solve the biggest challenges at their company.
