   Apr 2020 — Present · US

   Your startup can only grow as fast as you do.I help first-time founders close the gap between the leader they are today and the one their company needs tomorrow. With 20+ years of experience and leaders coached worldwide, I’ve seen how challenges with confidence, influence, hiring, leadership experience, and vision can stall growth. But those challenges aren’t permanent—they’re invitations to scale yourself.I blend neuroscience, experiential learning, and founder-tested frameworks to deliver tailored coaching that helps you:• Build clarity and influence under pressure• Inspire teams that perform—and stay• Fundraise and scale without burning out• Align personal and professional growth so success doesn’t cost what matters mostMy clients consistently achieve breakthrough results—raising capital, scaling revenue, transforming culture—while building lives they actually want to live.If you’re ready to grow yourself and your company side by side, let’s connect.
