Startup coaching for venture-backed founders who want a proven system—built by a CEO who’s actually been there.

Your biggest bottleneck is… you.
Being a CEO is hard.
When you go it alone, you realise just how hard.
Strategy sounds easy—until you discover most of the company doesn’t actually know what the strategy is.
Hiring sounds easy—until you bring in an A-player from Google and realise they’re not performing in your environment.
You get pulled into everything, leaving you with no time to think, no space to lead.
And the further you scale, the fewer people who can truly give you useful advice.
The truth is, so many of the challenges you’re facing are not unique. They’re common to CEOs of venture-backed companies everywhere.
And luckily, many of the solutions are common too.
You don’t need a CEO coach.
You need a Founder Coach.
Most coaches ask questions. I help you get results.
After working with over 250 venture-backed CEOs over the past seven years, I’ve made it my mission to codify the patterns—because most founder challenges are not one-offs. They’re recurring, predictable, and solvable.
Where many coaches focus on reflective questions, team 360s, and long discussions, I take it several steps further.
Together, we’ll pinpoint the specific results you need to deliver in your role as CEO.
Then, I’ll give you the tools, mindset shifts, and practical playbooks you need to achieve them—faster and more confidently.
This isn’t just about accountability or feeling supported. It’s about accelerating outcomes that matter: building your A-team, simplifying your strategy, upgrading your operating system, and unlocking your next level of scale.
Many of the CEOs I work with go on to build iconic companies. That’s not luck—it’s leverage.
The Leadership System Designed for VC-Backed CEOs
The only way to scale results is with a system.
I’ve spent nearly a decade building one—specifically for venture-backed founders navigating scale.
Here’s how it works:
1. Planning and Prioritisation
Every quarter, we define your CEO agenda and build a roadmap. This keeps you focused on the right outcomes—and out of the weeds.
2. Accelerated Learning
You’ll access workshops tailored to the challenges you’re facing now. Practical tools. Proven frameworks. Ready to implement.
3. Situational Support
You’ll have a trusted space to talk through emerging issues, pressure-test decisions, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Become a World-Class CEO
You don’t just need to grow your company—you need to grow yourself. I’ll help you level up in the nine areas that matter most:
Elevate your leadership
Redesign your role so you spend time on what moves the needle.
Streamline your meetings to create more space and energy.
Master your mindset to lead with clarity and conviction.
Communicate your vision
Simplify your strategy so your team always knows what matters.
Inspire with stories to bring investors and employees onside.
Set better expectations so accountability becomes easy.
Activate your team
Leverage your talent by getting the right people in the right places.
Coach for performance and unlock your team’s potential.
Upgrade your culture to match the company you want to build.
