“Think of me as a player-coach on your startup team”

You know how in football, the coach usually shouts tactics from the sidelines? Well, I do things differently. I’m the kind of coach who laces up their boots, runs onto the pitch and plays alongside you.

As a Venture Coach, I help founders and teams build, launch, and scale remarkable brands and products. I don’t just bark instructions from the bench - I get in the game. I pass, I defend, I score.

Whether it’s refining your brand strategy, getting your product to market, or accelerating growth, I’m right there with you, making it happen.

So if you’re looking for someone to just give you a to-do list, I’m not your guy. But if you want a partner who’s as invested in your success as you are — one who’ll celebrate your goals and sweat through the grind with you — then let’s talk.
