About.

I work with founders, CEOs, and senior leaders at moments when leadership must evolve. The decisions get harder, the visibility increases, and the people around you need something different from you than they did before.

I know that feeling from the inside. Not from a framework or a methodology. From fourteen years of building something real.

The Experience

Clients often describe the work in similar ways:

"He distinguishes between what I'm saying and what I'm not saying, reflecting both back so I can make better decisions."

"He knows what it takes to scale a brand and the people inside it."

"He is trustable right away and maintains that trust regardless of who is paying his fee."

"He hears me out fully and then pushes me to action in a way that feels both firm and supportive."

"He helps me clear out the noise and focus on what actually matters."

The Journey

My perspective was formed early, starting in hospitality before studying in Switzerland and building a career with Four Seasons. That work gave me a front row seat to leadership under pressure and taught me how much culture, systems, and a steady presence actually matter.

In 2006, I co-founded Tender Greens, named one of the ten best restaurant chains in the world by Condé Nast and one of the 25 most innovative consumer brands by Forbes. Over fourteen years I served in roles spanning finance, operations, and organizational leadership as we grew the company to 30 locations, $100 million in revenue, and more than 1,200 team members. As the company scaled, my focus shifted toward developing leaders and eventually replacing myself with people stronger than me.

By the time I exited successfully, the greatest satisfaction came from helping a leader find their footing as they stepped into their next level. That instinct is what pulls me into the work I do today.

I wrote about that journey in Ten Year Plan, available at your preferred bookseller.

Other Dimensions

My perspective has also been shaped by disciplines that sit outside conventional leadership frameworks. I have spent years studying and practicing in traditions that work with presence, ceremony, and expanded states of consciousness.

For some leaders, this dimension of the work becomes relevant. When it does, we approach it with discretion, careful integration, and a deep respect for the gravity of the experience.

I live in Los Angeles with my wife and our two children, where I continue to study and practice the disciplines that keep me grounded.

If any of this sounds familiar, you already know it's worth a conversation.
