Two contexts, one standard

PE & Portfolio Companies

  • A leader needs to develop their leadership and performance — fast
  • A senior team member is stepping into their first LBO role

  • An executive committee is burning energy on internal friction

  • A critical decision has been stalled for months

    Entrepreneurs & Scale-Ups

    • Roles are becoming unclear as the company grows

    • Difficult conversations are being avoided

    • Investors are arriving and governance isn’t in place

    • The leadership team needs to step up

    Coaching from the inside

    I came to coaching after twenty years in operational leadership — an Executive Committee member in listed companies and LBO structures, then co-founder of a tech scale-up that I took through its growth phase.

    I coach from within these worlds. I know what it means to make a decision under board pressure. I know what it means to lead a founding duo when growth surfaces disagreements no one saw coming.

    That is what makes my work fast, concrete, and connected to what actually matters.

    Testimonials
