For founders + senior operators

Clarity on what to do next.

1:1 coaching for the people carrying the hard decisions. Most clients stay 6–18 months; every engagement starts with a free discovery call.

Four shapes of engagement

01

1:1 coaching

50-minute weekly sessions. Most engagements run 6–18 months; bi-weekly and monthly cadences open up after the first quarter.

  • Weekly, then your cadence
  • Async voice notes between sessions
02

Founder transitions

Intensive support for an exit, a co-founder split, or a leadership step-back — the moments with no playbook.

  • 8–12 week intensives
03

Leadership-team work

Quarterly off-sites plus ongoing team coaching for leadership teams of four to ten.

  • Off-sites facilitated end to end
04

Speaking + workshops

Talks and half-day workshops on founder mental health, decision quality, and conflict without damage.

Portrait of the coach

I coach because I was first a founder.

I founded a SaaS company in 2009, sold it in 2018, and spent four years as a COO — twice — after that. Certified as a professional coach since 2022. I work with founders and senior leaders at the next inflection: scaling past 50 people, exit decisions, succession, "should I keep doing this," and the quieter weight of a job nobody else really sees.

  • Certified professional coach
  • Trained in IFS, polyvagal, and somatic modalities
  • Clients across North America + Europe, in-person + virtual
03Fit before fees

How an engagement starts

  1. Discovery call

    Thirty free minutes. You talk, I ask questions, and we both decide whether this is a fit. Either way you leave with sharper thinking.

  2. Two chemistry sessions

    Full-length paid sessions before any commitment — coaching is a relationship, and two sessions tell us more than any proposal.

  3. The engagement

    Weekly 50-minute sessions with a written focus we revisit quarterly. You can end any time with a week's notice — no lock-ins.

Engagements

What you would be committing to

The fee is quoted after the two chemistry sessions, because it depends on cadence and format. The terms below do not move, and they are the part worth reading first.

1:1 coaching

Most engagements
On request/month
Rolling — one week’s notice, any timeDiscovery call free · chemistry sessions charged
  • Weekly 50-minute sessions, your cadence after the first quarter
  • Async voice notes between sessions, answered same day
  • A written focus, revisited every quarter against what “better” meant in month one
  • Complete confidentiality — no summaries to a board, an investor or a co-founder, even when they pay
  • Two reduced-rate places held at any time

Founder transition

On request/intensive
8–12 weeks, fixedScoped before it starts
  • Twice-weekly sessions through the decision window
  • For an exit, a co-founder split, or a leadership step-back
  • Availability between sessions when the week goes sideways
  • Ends when the transition does — it is not converted into a retainer

Leadership team

On request/quarter
Quarterly, renewed by the team not the sponsorOff-sites quoted separately
  • For leadership teams of four to ten
  • A facilitated off-site each quarter, run end to end
  • Ongoing team coaching between off-sites
  • Individual sessions stay confidential from the team and the sponsor

If cost is the blocker, say so on the discovery call. Two reduced-rate places are held at all times and nobody is asked to open their books to qualify.

Fair questions

What does coaching cost?+

Monthly retainer, quoted after the chemistry sessions — it varies with cadence and format. If cost is the blocker, say so on the call; I hold two reduced-rate slots.

Is this therapy?+

No. Coaching works on decisions, patterns, and leadership; therapy works on healing. They pair well, and I'll tell you plainly if what you need is the other one.

How confidential is it?+

Completely. No summaries to your board, your investors, or your co-founder — even when one of them pays the invoice. That's in the contract.

Virtual or in person?+

Most clients are virtual; I'm in New York monthly and Europe quarterly for in-person sessions. Off-sites happen wherever your team is.

How do I know it's working?+

We write down what "better" looks like in month one and revisit it quarterly. If it isn't moving, we talk about ending — I'd rather finish well than bill long.

My board wants to pay for this. Is that a problem?+

No, and it is common. The contract they sign says what they get: dates, attendance and an invoice. Never content, never a summary, never a temperature check on you.

What if my co-founder should be in the room?+

Sometimes they should — but co-founder work is a different engagement with different rules, and mixing it into your 1:1 quietly ends the confidentiality that makes the 1:1 work. We would scope it separately.

Do you sign an NDA?+

Happily, though the coaching agreement already binds me more tightly than most NDAs do. Send yours and I will sign it before the first chemistry session.

How much time does this take?+

Fifty minutes a week, plus whatever thinking happens in the shower afterwards — which is usually where the work actually lands.

Colleagues sharing a high-five over a breakthrough

Thirty minutes. No pitch.

Tell me what you're carrying. If I'm not the right person, I'll say so and point you at who is.

Two chemistry sessions before any commitment

Free discovery call

Tell me briefly what you're carrying. A 30-minute call to see if we're a fit — either way, you leave with sharper thinking.
