Something important is shifting — in your organization, your leadership, or how decisions are getting made. You can feel it before you can name it. My job is to help you see what's real, decide what matters, and build an organization that doesn't depend on you being everywhere. Ten years as COO and Chief of Staff: scaled a health-tech company from 42 to 114 people in 18 months, then led it through the contraction on the other side. Three workforce reductions with trust intact. Board and investor rooms where the numbers had to hold up. VP roles at OpenText and ICCM before that. Author of You Decide and Leading Magnanimously. 30+ founders coached in the last two years. Ages 18 to 76. Four continents. What we work on Becoming operationally dispensable — without losing control Founder-to-CEO and executive transitions Exiting the wrong person, including when they're a friend or a co-founder Designing decision rights so your team stops waiting on you Whether to sell, hold, or fix — and the honest version of each Using AI as a decision system rather than a pile of tools How I work Calm, direct, grounded in having actually done it. Mostly Socratic — I'd rather you arrive at it than be told it, because the ones you arrive at stick. People call me the Business Polygraph for surfacing what's real before it gets expensive. I won't hand you a playbook or tell you who to be. I'll help you become more of who you already are, with less friction and more leverage. Plant seeds that grow trees you'll never sit under. That's the arrangement.
