About me

I help Series B & C founders go from scrappy operator to high-performance CEO. 3am. You wake up (again). This isn’t “living the dream.” You’ve built something real —but now you have to scale: ❌ Decisions are heavy. ❌ No one hears you anymore. ❌ You resent the experts you hire. ❌ VCs who loved you have gone quiet. ❌ “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” But how? ❌ The company you built no longer feels like yours. ❌ You carry everything—alone. You don’t need motivation or self-help. You need advice from someone who’s been in the trenches. Not theories. Scars to prove it: ➟ Former Navy SEALs commander ➟ Built AI at Amazon ➟ Led AI & Data Platforms at Wayfair ➟ Harvard MBA ➡️ Is your startup scaling faster than you are? Become the CEO your team will talk about decades from now. 📌 **What We'll Work On:** ✅ Lead in chaos like a Navy SEAL officer. ✅ Make high-stakes decisions with less second-guessing. ✅ Build systems that get the most out of your team. ✅ Communicate with clarity and presence. ✅ Be the calm during the storm. Let’s talk.
