Who I Serve
Business Leaders
I help startup founders, entrepreneurs, and business executives sharpen their leadership effectiveness, build strong culture, and strengthen team performance through targeted coaching, talent strategies, and people operation systems. This includes helping leadership teams gain alignment on strategy and direction, guiding new business leaders to discover their unique strengths and pathways to success, and designing people systems that turn a group of individuals into a high-functioning organization.
Investors
I help VC & PE firms with talent diligence and portfolio operations, providing expert evaluations of founder capabilities and resolving complex relationship dynamics to protect investment value. Whether it’s getting accurate info during the diligence process, stepping into messy co-founder disputes, or supporting with CEO transitions, I step into the mix and create alignment.
HR Leaders & HR Tech Companies
I provide technical expertise and scientific advisory to HR Tech companies looking to ensure their products meet market demands, and with HR leaders looking to implement the latest AI and neurotech tools to enhance their workforce. This can include reviewing HR Tech products and providing product enhancement recommendations, to providing full-scale product implementation support to companies looking to optimize their HR systems.
