Executive coach for founders, CEOs & business owners
I partner with founders and innovation leaders who are called to find fresh ways of thinking and step into new roles — in business and in life. This is the story of how I got here.
More than theory. Venture-building experience across Europe, the U.S. and Asia as well as a deep coaching training give me both lived and professional insight.
The path to coaching
I was a startup founder, then an executive at every stage of company growth — from pre-seed to acquisition and IPO, across three continents. I knew how each stage felt. I didn't yet know how I felt.
Work with me
Getting unstuck, transitioning into a new role, crafting a strategic approach to leadership, or resolving leadership, ownership and investor conflicts. I may combine the roles of coach, mentor or consultant depending on what you need.
Core offer
A six-month partnership for founders, business owners, C-suite leaders and investors. Most of my work happens here — deep, confidential and fully tailored to you.
