Coaching ambitious founders, executives, and investors through the complexities of scaling
Overview
With experience spanning executive coaching, venture capital, and clinical therapy, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to leadership development. My work sits at the intersection of human behavior, organizational dynamics, and business growth, helping my clients navigate the leadership challenges that emerge as they scale themselves and their companies.
I’ve coached founders, senior executives, and investors at companies ranging from early-stage startups to organizations with thousands of employees, including companies backed by leading investors such as Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, Lightspeed, and Y Combinator.
Approach
I work with leaders operating in high-growth, high-complexity environments. As organizations scale, the challenges become less about expertise and execution and more about judgment, influence, alignment, and the ability to navigate and lead through uncertainty.
My coaching focuses on guiding leaders to improve the quality of their thinking and leadership. Together, we work through the real challenges you’re facing to uncover patterns, assumptions, and behaviors that are limiting your impact. Then, we translate the insights into action, creating stronger ways for you to lead and operate.
While coaching often begins with a specific challenge, the larger objective is building your capacity to navigate increasing complexity with clarity, confidence, and sustainability for the long term. The goal isn't just solving today's challenge; it's guiding you to become the kind of leader your company needs to successfully scale, compete, and win.
Values
-
High self awareness generates better options. When you can see what shapes your thinking and behavior, you gain the ability to make more intentional and effective choices.
-
Making decisions with incomplete information can be uncomfortable, but being stagnant is far worse. Build the habit of act, learn, and iterate.
-
Emotions shouldn’t drive decisions, but they’re an important source of information. Utilizing your emotional data enables better judgment, stronger decisions, and aligned action.
-
Context matters. Every leader deserves an approach to coaching that considers their strengths, challenges, and ambitions in the unique context of their company.
-
In pursuit of big goals, it’s easy to over-focus on problems. But acknowledging progress is what sustains high performance. Choose to celebrate wins, for yourself and your team. Build on progress, not perfection.
