Former founder turned investor and coach to badass leaders around the world.


Hi đź‘‹.

A former colleague of mine once said, "You've lived 9 lives." I have indeed squeezed a lot of experiences into the last few decades. Some incredible moments, hard won lessons , and meaningful wins. Today, I spend much of my time with ambitious leaders on their own interesting journeys …

  • as they find purpose and fulfillment in their work

  • as they create, launch, and grow solutions for tough problems

  • as they unleash their potential and flourish on their own unique paths

I deeply enjoy supporting entrepreneurs/executives as a coach. My coaching philosophy is to provide the kind of practical advice + deep support I didn't even know to ask for when I was starting a company 19+ years ago.

I am always interested in meeting ambitious people working on novel technologies, brilliant and kind individuals working on important + tough problems that make the world more awesome + help more humans realize fully lived lives. Reach out to chat. đź‘‹
