What CEOs say about my approach

Tim Heyl
CEO, Homeward
Raised $501M from Northwest Venture Partners
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Coaching with Dave has transformed the way I show up as a leader in my business. This has led to successful fundraising, a more passionate and aligned team, and a galvanized customer audience. Dave has a unique ability to uncover what's important by leading with insanely good questions, until the right problems and optimal answers are revealed. I highly recommend all startup CEOs work with Dave throughout their journey, to create more clarity for themselves and their company.

Malte Kosub
CEO, Parloa
Raised $214M from Altimeter Capital, EQT and others
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can highly recommend coaching sessions with Dave. He has an exceptional ability to listen and then completely re-frame the discussed topic - allowing you to dissect it from multiple perspectives and come up with completely new ideas. This has allowed me to develop further as a leader and keep pace with the fast growth of Parloa.

Anastasia Leng
CEO, CreativeX
Raised $35M from Guggenheim, Beringea and Index
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As your company grows, the number of people who'll tell you the unvarnished truth seems to decrease. What I like most about my sessions with Dave is his ability to cut right through to the substance: when to challenge me, when to support, and when to simply probe deeper. I'll readily admit I was a coaching skeptic when we started, but I couldn't be more of a "fan girl" today – my sessions with Dave give me clarity, focus, and a roadmap to being a better CEO and a better leader that I feel I slowly chip away at with every session.

Alexandre Remor
CEO, Medway
Raised R$75M from SoftBank and others
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Working with Dave has significantly helped me to become a better CEO. What I especially notice is that I'm making smart decisions faster. Dave has a unique ability to listen to what you're saying and present it back to you with the clarity that only someone on the outside, with great experience and with no conflict of interest, can provide. I've recommended Dave to numerous CEOs and would recommend to every CEO that is struggling to make better decisions. In my experience, that's virtually 100% of CEOs!

Jose Lorenzo
CEO, Bold
Raised $105M from General Atlantic, Tiger Global
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really look forward to my monthly sessions with Dave, as we discuss all kinds of matters that range from raising capital, to structuring teams, to planning with OKRs and to give effective feedback. What I like the most about working with Dave is the fact that he has been an entrepreneur himself and he speaks not only from theory but from practice.

Paul Ebert
CEO, Tabeo
Raised £750M from Fortress
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am a better CEO thanks to Dave. Thanks to his focus and structure, I see positive change quickly. I feel more confident in communication and delegation. Ultimately, the feedback I receive from my family, investors, and teams makes me greatly value his work.
