Who are you?

  • As CEO, you manage key stakeholders, lead your executive team, and report to the board, without true peers. This isolation demands careful balance in how open you are with others. Whether you are a seasoned CEO seeking fresh energy, preparing for transition or retirement, or newly appointed and navigating the weight of new responsibility, the role can be uniquely lonely.
  • Every action, or inaction, is closely watched by your team and stakeholders. You are looking for a trusted, confidential space to test ideas, share concerns, or clarify direction before acting. What you need is a sparring partner; someone experienced and solely focused on supporting you, not your decisions or your company.

  • You are a CEO currently undergoing or having recently completed a Private Equity acquisition.
  • Your situation may vary:
    • You could be a first-time PE CEO, the first leader post-founder, under pressure to meet PE targets, or a seasoned CEO brought in early post-investment.
    • You now work with a newly formed, active Board, including a Chairperson; and possibly the company’s founder or former CEO as a board member.
  • The dynamics are complex, and expectations are high as you navigate leadership under PE ownership. Being the CEO of a PE-owned company is a unique role, and having the opportunity to confidentially talk to someone who has been in ‘your chair’ can make a tangible difference in who you are, how you do things, and how fast you are doing them as you transition into the operating model of PE.

  • You are a senior executive reporting to the CEO, leading a business or function with your own team, often across regions and cultures.
  • You manage a P&L or budget, set strategy for your area, and collaborate with peers to meet company goals
  • You are navigating internal challenges, uncertain how to address conflict or drive results.
  • You may need to strengthen your team, lead change, and want to find a trusted sparring partner.
  • You could be aiming for the CEO role, seeking career advancement, or feeling stuck and uncertain about what comes next.
  • Perhaps you are nearing retirement and looking to transition thoughtfully into your next chapter, personally and professionally.

  • You are about 5-10 years into your career, with diverse experience across roles, companies, or functions.
  • You may already lead a team or manage cross-functional projects.
  • Now, you are questioning what should be next, seeking clarity on your goals, motivations, and direction in a trusted, confidential space.
  • You may face workplace tensions, struggle to prioritize, or balance personal and professional demands while trying to meet perceived stakeholder expectations.
  • You want guidance to navigate these challenges and support to make thoughtful decisions about projects, tasks, or big moves.
  • A seasoned mentor or coach could help you gain perspective, confidence, and clarity as you shape the next phase of your professional journey.

  • You are leading your own company, either as a founder or owner, working hard to grow, reach milestones, and secure funding.
  • Whether you are a first-time entrepreneur navigating areas like finance, operations, sales & marketing, or stakeholder management, or a serial founder facing new startup-specific challenges, the demands are intense.
  • Onboarding new leaders and employees can be difficult, especially when they do not fully understand your vision or what is needed to reach the next phase or achieve a successful exit.
  • You recognize the value of having a trusted, experienced mentor or coach, someone to challenge your thinking, offer perspective, and help you make smart, confident decisions where your experience may not yet be deep.

“I have personally navigated industry shifts, ownership changes, and rising leadership responsibilities. I understand the challenges of growing into bigger roles and leading more people. Successful leaders solve the biggest problems, and I am passionate about sharing my real-world experience to help you grow, lead with clarity, and make a meaningful impact.”

What specifically do I help you do?

  • Adopting your leadership and practices to medium-term strategic and operational planning with an intense focus on execution.
  • Embracing your reality of results orientation and leading on metrics and benchmarking.
  • Managing new and substantial stakeholders in the Board of Directors, the CEO, peers, fund managers, etc.
  • Driving sustainable organic and inorganic growth; in some cases to enable a successful exit for your current shareholders or to attract new and more funding
  • If you are new in your executive role, transitioning into the role and speeding up your learning process.
  • If you are taking over from the Founder and former CEO, navigating the emotional and rationale interactions when you want to drive changes to decisions and behaviors of the past.
  • If milestones outlined in the investment case or business plan/budget are not met, making the right adjustments to resource allocations, leadership and organizational gaps, and communication to stakeholders.
  • If you are an experienced executive brought in early after a change of ownership or as part of succession, accelerating your impact in this new context and company.

"Everyone and every situation is unique, and it is exactly this that inspires me to actively listen, seek understanding, and then help you find the answers that will elevate you forward."

"I know from my experience what it means to have no peers in your company, what it means to transition into a Private Equity operating model, to replace a former CEO/Senior-level executive, or to be
promoted to a Senior Executive position. I am now passionate about bringing this experience into 1-on-1 coaching and mentoring of other CEOs."

Why do I believe that I can support you?

  • I have many years of experience as a CEO and C-Level executive in companies going from 100% family ownership to a split or wholly owned by Private Equity and in a S&P 500 listed company.
  • I have remained close to the Private Equity sector and worked in Expert Roles.
  • I know how to lead and execute value-creation models from the inside; either as a CEO myself or mandated by the Board or Private Equity ownership.
  • I have already supported CEOs with my coaching, and I know the difference that my help makes when you look to upgrade your personal and professional strategies, tools, and practices, navigating the impacts of a change of role and ownership.

“Private Equity is and has been very successful in creating stakeholder value, however, the industry is undergoing significant changes in how they operate, how they engage with potential and actual portfolio companies, the CEO, and the senior leadership teams, and where they see future value generated. This impacts the role of the CEO, and I understand this”.

“Being an executive in a publicly owned company adds many new dimensions to leading a global team, sustainably growing the top and bottom line, and executing the right initiatives to drive innovation, new business, operating models, and penetration into new markets. The necessary governance, quarterly reporting, managing of expectations, and communication are all unique disciplines that I have experienced and bring to our coaching sessions, allowing us to meet at eye level“.

“I am an entrepreneur myself, having grown up in a self-employed family, and I have advised and worked with founders and start-ups for several years. I understand what it means to found a company based on a compelling vision, a unique technology, and/or business model, while balancing the need for funding with the requirement of meeting milestones and reaching inflection points. I can be the mentor who provides access to experience and a network you may not have, or the coach who acts as your accountability partner“.

How, specifically, do I help you?

  • 1-on-1 Coaching: powerful questions that will help you find the right answers.
  • 1-on-1 Mentoring: you leverage me and my experience to find the right solutions for you to work on and implement.
  • You will have clarity on your personal and professional goals and why they matter to you.
  • You will be self-aware of your innate talents and how to turn them into strengths that you can proactively leverage as part of your approach and execute actions to reach your goals.
  • You develop action plans, identify the support resources needed, are aware of what may block your success, and learn and grow along the way.
  • You have an accountability partner in me who stays with you on your journey to success and is available when needed.
  • Our conversations are always confidential, providing a safe and trusting space.

“I will adopt a blended approach to our sessions so that I can help you find your own and best way forward. By offering my experience, knowledge, and skills and helping you be self-aware of your core strengths and personal and professional goals, you leave every session with clarity, confidence, and energy to drive actions.”
