EXECUTIVE MENTORING: 

High-capacity CEOs and C-suite leaders often find that while leading organizations can be exhilarating, it can also be isolating, discouraging, and unhealthy. On top of professional demands, we all face life’s disruptions—marital and family struggles, loss of loved ones, health challenges, and major transitions. These difficult seasons can lead to burnout, disconnection, and feelings of hopelessness, shame, or inadequacy. However, such hardships can also become catalysts for new meaning, creativity, connection, and happiness. The difference lies in how we choose to move forward.

The good news is that you already have within you the capacity to thrive physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. Often, what’s needed is someone to walk alongside you and help uncover your true self.

With over 30 years of experience in entrepreneurship, law, and corporate leadership, I bring a unique perspective. As a CEO, I’ve grown a company from a $40 million valuation to unicorn status in four years, been recognized by Goldman Sachs as one of the “100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs,” and led a startup to a KKR-backed exit worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Despite these successes, I understand the emotional crises and emptiness that often accompany the pursuit of achievement.

The journey forward is one of holistic healing and well-being. Whether you’re a startup founder or a seasoned C-suite executive, I can help guide you toward transformation—so you don’t just lead but truly thrive.

MEDIATION AND NEGOTIATION: 

Drawing from my extensive experience in both mediation and negotiation, I specialize in guiding C-suite executives and founders through separations that prioritize preserving relationships and organizational integrity. My approach is grounded in interest-based mediation, which focuses on holistic, win-win solutions. The desire and purpose ultimately is to hold onto the the hope of future reconciliation. This method not only addresses immediate issues but also fosters sustainable agreements that mitigate long-term conflict and promote mutual benefit.

Having navigated complex splits among founders, I understand the delicate balance required to achieve amicable resolutions. Beyond my background in mediating high-stakes separations, I have successfully negotiated deals exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars. Regardless of scale, my commitment remains steadfast in fostering outcomes that prioritize harmony and equitable results for all parties involved.
