About.
I work with founders, CEOs, and C-suite leaders at moments when leadership must evolve. My role is to help you think clearly under pressure, navigate complexity with steadiness, and lead in a way that holds as the stakes rise.
I bring this work from lived experience. I have carried the responsibility of growing an organization and made the decisions where the consequences mattered.
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 systems, culture, and a steady presence actually matter.
In 2006, I co-founded Tender Greens. Over fourteen years, I served in roles spanning finance, operations, and organizational leadership as we grew the company to 30 locations, $100M 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 successfully exited, the greatest satisfaction came from helping a leader find their footing as they stepped into their next level. That instinct—helping people navigate their own evolution—is what pulls me into the work I do today.
The Work
Today, my work is a blend of advisory and coaching support for leaders navigating growth, transition, and responsibility. We focus on the high-stakes demands of leadership and the internal capacity required to meet them.
The work is thoughtful and direct. There are no formulas or performance theater—just clear thinking and practical movement forward.
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.
