What I Offer
Leadership Coaching
1:1 sessions for new or established founders, tech professionals, and executives.
This is not about frameworks or buzzwords. It's about creating space to think clearly, make better decisions, and stay resilient under pressure.
These sessions are ideal for C-level go-getters who want clarity, resilience, and grounded stability. I cover themes such as:
- Sustainable leadership and how to align and motivate teams
- Reducing burnout
- Maintaining balance under pressure
- How to prevent stress
Single sessions or packages.
Team & Culture Workshops
For groups of founders, C-level executives, or teams who want to work better together.
Effective, impactful sessions on communication, conflict, and alignment. Focus is on how to:
- Improve communication and collaboration
- Address hidden tensions and align around strategy
- Build resilience and trust as a group
Workshops typically consist of a presentation, lots of questions (from me), group and breakout exercises, discussions and dialogue, and Q&A.
Focused half-day sessions or full-day engagements.
How I Work
Merging perspectives from seemingly disparate fields
My approach is personal, effective, and based on my cross-disciplinary background.
I started my career in the mid-90's in my native Silicon Valley as a software developer at Netscape, contributing there to Java Swing, and being so fortunate to work side-by-side with some of the brightest minds in computer science.
Since then and over the past two decades, I've worked as a CTO and co-founder in multiple cross-Atlantic startups.
Over time, I became interested in the dynamics of what makes a good leader good, and ultimately studied coaching and psychotherapy to get a deeper understanding of how our brains and minds and emotional responses tie together, and how we can align our goals and actions with rewarding and meaningful behavior.
Today, I combine my experiences from the technology sector with my degree in coaching and therapy, and provide help that is well-tailored to founders and C-level executives. I've learned quite a bit over three decades entrenched in the technology sector, combined with a deeper understanding of what psychological well-being really entails. I've made plenty of mistakes, and have had a fair share of successes. I am absolutely motivated to assist and guide and impart what wisdom I can.
It always starts with listening. Understanding. Analyzing. Not a bunch of theory or jargon. I love to ask the right questions, even if they're difficult, and help leaders optimize their performance, both for themselves, and for their teams.
Many organizations take a zero sum approach to business, and apply this philosophy to their leadership strategy. I can help turn this mentality around, so that all ships rise with the tide.
