Description text goes hereI'm not a coach who just listens and nods. I'm your sidekick and sparring partner,  someone who's been in your shoes and knows what it's like to sit in the founder or exec seat. With 15+ years of startup and leadership experience, from building SoundCloud to co-founding ForChiefs, I bring strategic thinking, deep empathy, and straight talk.

I work with founders, CEOs, senior leaders, and leadership teams – often in fast-growing, VC-backed companies from seed to Series D.
My clients range from first-time leaders to experienced execs. They usually come to coaching at key inflection points like navigating growth, new roles, or team and culture challenges.
I'm a good fit if you're looking for a long-term practical, hands-on thought partner. That said, it comes down to chemistry – a quick call is the best way to find out.

It depends on what brings you to me – individual coaching, a team workshop, or a solo retreat.

For 1:1 coaching, we typically start with a package of 90-minute sessions. A solo retreat, a 1-2 day deep dive in Vienna can be a powerful way to begin or complement 1:1 sessions and step back from the day to day.

Workshops for teams usually range from 1 to 8 days per year — either at your office or offsite at a location you choose.

Expect 1-1.5 hours every two to four weeks for individual coaching (6- 12 sessions), plus light reflection or integration between sessions. Workshops require more concentrated time: Typically one to eight half-day to full-day formats spread out 3 to 12 months, with some coordination and prep between sessions, depending on the scope.

We meet online or in person and start with what matters most today: A decision, a leadership challenge, team dynamics, or something more personal. Each session is shaped by what’s most relevant in the moment, but always connected to the bigger picture of your role, goals, and long-term growth.

I take an active role,  asking questions, offering reflections, and sharing tools or examples from my own experience. We stay practical, go deep when needed, and make sure the work moves you forward.

It’s different for everyone. It might be clarity in a tough decision, a shift in how your team works together, or stepping into your role with more confidence. Often, it looks like this:
You’re more present and less reactive. You’re engaging with parts of your work that used to feel heavy — and finding energy there. You’re moving forward with more intention, more curiosity, and less fear. If that’s true, we’ve done good work together.

Yes. I coach co-founders both individually and together. Co-founder dynamics are one of the most powerful and potentially challenging aspects of building a company. In joint sessions, we create a space to surface tensions, improve communication, and align on values and vision. The goal is not just resolving conflict, but deepening trust and partnership.

Some common themes include:

• Navigating rapid growth and scaling leadership

• Building resilient culture and high-performing teams

• Managing co-founder or executive team dynamics

• Working through burnout, imposter syndrome, or fear

• Transitioning roles or stepping into more visionary leadership

• Clarifying purpose, vision, and values

No, but it can feel therapeutic. Coaching explores your patterns of the past that may hold back your future, it is forward-looking, focused on growth, awareness, and action. It’s not about healing the past, but about evolving how you lead, relate, and make decisions. Coaching and therapy can complement one other well.
