A Trusted Partner for Founder-Led Businesses

Scaling a business is complex. Every growth phase comes with new challenges—aligning teams, structuring for scale, raising capital, and preparing for exit.


I partner with ambitious founders to help them solve real business challenges, develop as leaders, and achieve sustainable success—without losing sight of what matters most.


Through a hybrid approach that blends strategic advisory and leadership coaching, I provide the clarity, strategy, and support to navigate key business transitions while strengthening leadership.


Whether you're launching, scaling, or preparing for exit, I act as a long-term strategic partner, guiding you through every stage.

A Founder Helping Founders Thrive

I know the founder journey—because I’ve lived it.

Over two decades, I’ve built, scaled, and sold businesses—including an eight-figure agency with 150+ people—and co-founded Asia’s first brand-tech group. I’ve worked with some of the world’s most ambitious leaders, navigating everything from rapid growth to successful exits.


Now, as an advisor and ICF-certified coach, I partner with founders to help them scale with clarity, confidence, and impact. 


My unique hybrid approach blends business strategy with leadership development—ensuring both business success and personal fulfillment.
