You got into leadership because you knew your craft better than anyone, and the sheer power of skill and will drove your first organization. That success is your new challenge, because what worked when you were the smartest person in the room isn't helping you build a scaled team that can do extraordinary things from other parts of the building. I coach founders through the transformation from expert to leader, helping define mission, build accountability, lead through others, and navigate under the weight of escalating decisions. I bring the perspective of a CEO who knows the exhilaration of building exceptional organizations that took off as well as the scar tissue from bringing a plane down for a hard landing.
I've been on your side of the desk. As a CEO and corporate leader across fintech, cybersecurity, and financial services, I’ve built and led organizations from a dozen to 700 people. With a background in software development, data engineering, and business analytics, and as a CFA® Charterholder, I can help you blend analytical rigor with people-first leadership to support growth, scale, and culture.
