I help founders become higher-performance, higher-impact leaders

I am a trusted thought partner, advisor and coach to founders, with a focus on helping you become a more effective, more impactful, leader.

​

I challenge you to tackle the "hard things", get uncomfortable, and build a higher-performing, faster-moving and more impactful company.

​

You take off your mask, learn more about yourself, ​and lead with greater clarity, empathy and intensity.

 

I've been a lawyer, entrepreneur, media executive and VC, and a certified coach since 2007, and am best known for "getting into the trenches" to help leaders solve the “hard things” around capital, culture, M&A, resilience, EQ, and effective leadership.
