Strategic Advisory | Leadership Development | Growth & Exit Planning
Advisory & Coaching for Growth, Alignment & Exit Readiness.
I help founders scale, navigate growth, and prepare for exits — without losing sight of purpose or well-being.
I partner with founder-led businesses across tech, creative, luxury, marketing, and high-growth services.
Some founders come to me at moments of urgency — scaling, raising, aligning co-founders, or preparing for exit. Others seek a trusted long-term advisor to guide them across the lifecycle of their business.
