Long-Term Advisory 

 

I work with a small number of founders and CEOs at a time, offering retainer-based coaching and advisory designed for the long haul. This isn't about quick fixes or checking boxes, it's about building a sustained partnership as you navigate the complexities of scaling leadership.

​

My clients are typically post-Seed to Series B/C founders leading teams of 20-200+ and feeling the shift from "doing everything" to "leading a growing organization." If that's you, here's how we work together.

​​

​

What We Work On

My advisory focuses on the real challenges of founder leadership at scale:

​

Leadership Clarity

Finding your voice as a leader. Developing your decision-making framework. Getting clear on what only you can do and what you need to let go of. Aligning commercial and product strategy and communicating this to your team and investors.

​

Operating Cadence

Building the rhythms, rituals, and systems that keep your team aligned. Creating structure that scales without feeling bureaucratic. Knowing when to be hands-on and when to step back.

 

Senior Hiring & Organizational Scaling

Attracting and assessing executives who can scale with you. Interviewing for roles yo

u've never hired before. Onboarding leaders who can take ownership without you micromanaging.

 

Founder & Board Dynamics

Navigating co-founder relationships as the company evolves. Managing board dynamics. Building trust with your leadership team. Knowing when you need outside perspective.

 

Sustainable Growth

Scaling your company without burning out yourself or your team. Making space for strategic thinking. Leading in a way that feels aligned with your values and is strategic, not just reactive to urgency.

​​

​

How We Work Together

I work on a monthly retainer basis, typically committing to 6-12 month engagements (sometimes longer). This isn't project-based consulting, it's an ongoing partnership where I'm with you through the ups and downs.

​​

​

What's Included

 

Monthly 1:1 sessions

Deep-dive conversations where we work through your biggest leadership challenges, make strategic decisions, and create clarity around what matters most

​

Ongoing access between sessions

Quick questions, urgent decisions, or moments when you need to talk something through don't wait for the next scheduled call.

 

Real-time support during critical moments

Preparing for board meetings, navigating founder conflicts, making senior hiring decisions, or working through any situation where you need a trusted thought partner.

​

A confidential thinking space

I'm not an investor, board member, or employee. I don't take equity which means I'm fully independent. Our conversations stay confidential and focused on what's best for you. 

​​

​

My Approach

 

I combine practical, hands-on advice with genuine support. Sometimes you need someone who's been there to tell you exactly what to do. Other times you need space to think out loud with someone who asks the right questions. Sometimes you just need someone to be your cheerleader giving you the confidence to do hard things.

​

My style is supportive, direct, and empathetic. I'll challenge you when it helps, support you when it's hard, and always tell you the truth as I see it. I bring both lived operator experience and deep pattern recognition from working closely with multiple scaling companies.

​​

​

What This Isn't

 

To be clear about fit:

• This is not quick-fix consulting. If you need someone to parachute in, solve a problem, and leave, I'm not the right person.

• This is not board advisory. I don't take board seats or invest in companies I advise. I remain fully independent so I can be focused entirely on you.

• This is not for early-stage founders still figuring out product-market fit. My work is designed for the post-investment scaling phase when leadership complexity increases dramatically.

​​

​

How to Get Started

 

Step 1: Book an Intro Call

We'll spend 30 minutes discussing your current challenges, where you are in your founder journey, and whether my approach feels like the right fit.

​

Step 2: Decide Together

After our call, we'll both take time to reflect. If we're aligned, I'll send over a proposal outlining how we'd work together.

​

Step 3: Begin the Partnership

Most engagements start with an initial deep-dive session where we map out your biggest priorities and create a framework for our work together.
