STRATEGIC ADVISORY & EXECUTIVE COACHING
The advisor for decisions that define your company
I work with founders and CEOs of established companies who need a trusted thinking partner — for growth, leadership challenges, acquisitions, and successful exits.
Many of the leaders I work with are also navigating the unique opportunities and challenges that come with ADHD.

HOW I WORK
Three ways I work with leaders
BEYOND THE INDIVIDUAL
Sometimes the work
expands to the
whole team
LEADERSHIP TEAM DEVELOPMENT
Individual coaching and advisory work often reveals something the founder already suspects — that the challenge isn't theirs alone to solve. The team that got the company to where it is may be struggling to communicate clearly, pulling in different directions, or hitting a ceiling that no amount of individual effort will break through. These are the moments when working with the leadership team as a whole — not just the person at the top — makes the difference.
​
When I see those patterns in my work with a founder or CEO, I'll say so. And when it makes sense, I'm equipped to take the work further — facilitating leadership discussions, team workshops, or offsite sessions that build on the deep context I already have from working inside the organization.

This kind of engagement typically grows out of an existing coaching or advisory relationship — which changes everything about what's possible in the room.

Areas Where I Often Help
Buying or selling a company is one of the most consequential decisions a founder will ever make. I help you understand the players, the incentives, and the deal terms that truly matter.
Navigating Business Growth
As companies grow, decisions become more complex. I serve as a strategic sounding board, helping founders clarify priorities and work through the issues that matter most.
Leadership can be isolating. My coaching provides a confidential space to think clearly, challenge assumptions, and lead with greater confidence.
Many entrepreneurs have ADHD — and many discover it only after years of pushing through challenges they didn't fully understand. I help leaders harness their strengths and perform at their best.
How Engagements Typically Work
Most of my work involves ongoing advisory or coaching relationships with founders and CEOs.
Engagements are typically structured as monthly retainers and begin with a minimum commitment of several months so that we have time to build trust and make meaningful progress.
We usually meet every two to three weeks, with additional conversations as major decisions arise.
Between sessions, I’m available for brief calls or messages when a quick sounding board is helpful.
​
Some leaders engage me primarily for executive coaching, while others work with me as a strategic advisor on major business decisions — including growth strategy, partnerships, acquisitions, raising capital, and preparing for or navigating the sale of their company.
