Personal mentoring for founders, CEOs, and executive teams – from the first idea through growth stages and leading complex organizations. Focused work on strategy, critical decisions, crisis management, and leading people through uncertainty – and on the mental side too: the fears, pressures and blocks that hold those decisions back.
Building a startup isn’t just about product and fundraising – it’s about coming face to face with yourself when the ground is shaking beneath you.
In this book, I break down the myth of the “superhero founder” and speak openly about the parts no one talks about: the paralyzing pressure, the self-doubt that creeps in at night, and the loneliness of making hard calls. This is a journey into the founder’s mental operating system – how to listen before you leap, how to act through uncertainty, and how to lead people through genuine partnership rather than top-down authority.
As a founder and CEO, I’ve lived through failures, layoffs, boardroom trust crises, market crashes – and alongside them, moments of breakthrough and real wins. And one more thing: a deep personal crisis right at the peak of business success.
That’s the experience I bring – from the business world and the social sector, from leading people and organizations in the moments when everything is on the line. A blend of strategic thinking, mental depth, and a genuine ability to understand people.
Ongoing personal coaching for founders, CEOs, and leadership teams. Working through board and investor dynamics, crisis management, and high-stakes decision-making.
A personal process to build resilience, clarity, and stability under sustained pressure – navigating between the highs of success and the weight of hard times.
Focused support in the early phases: sharpening your product idea, validating market need, defining your target audience, and building an initial business model.
Both are a great entry point. The book stands on its own – and also serves as a shared foundation for coaching, training, and team work.
No commitment. No sales pitch. Just an honest look at whether and how working together makes sense.
