The Coach

I've sat in
your seat.

Before becoming an executive coach, I spent 15 years as a founder and operator. I scaled two companies past $50M in ARR, navigated brutal board disputes, and led teams through multiple economic downturns.

I don't coach from academic theory. I coach from hard-won experience. I know what it feels like to wake up at 3 AM worrying about runway, and I know what it takes to build a leadership team that can actually execute without your constant involvement.

The bottleneck
is often you.

What got your company to its current stage is rarely what will get it to the next. The most successful leaders recognize when their own operational habits become the ceiling for their organization's growth.

Scaling Leadership

Transitioning from doing the work to leading the people who do the work. Overcoming the bottleneck of your own capacity.

Strategic Clarity

Cutting through the noise of daily operations to set a clear, actionable vision that aligns your entire organization.

High-Stakes Communication

Navigating difficult conversations, board management, and driving alignment across executive teams.

Executive Isolation

Having a confidential sounding board to pressure-test ideas when you can't share everything with your team or board.

The ROI

What changes after 6 months?

Coaching isn't just about feeling better. It's about driving measurable impact across your organization.

Operational Leverage

You will shift from doing $100/hr work to $10,000/hr work. Your calendar will reflect your strategic priorities, not everyone else's emergencies.

Executive Alignment

Your leadership team will stop operating in silos. You will establish an operating cadence that drives accountability and fast decision-making.

Resilient Psychology

You will develop the emotional regulation required to handle existential business threats without burning out or projecting anxiety onto your team.

Client Outcomes

Words from Leaders

"Working with David completely shifted how I operate as a CEO. I stepped out of the weeds, empowered my executive team, and we doubled revenue in the 12 months following our engagement."

"The isolation at the top is real. Having a confidential, objective partner to pressure-test my strategic decisions has been the highest ROI investment I've made in my career."

Common Questions

Details regarding the coaching engagement.

I work exclusively with Founders, CEOs, and C-suite executives at high-growth companies (typically Series A through pre-IPO, or $10M-$100M+ in revenue). My clients are already highly successful but recognize that what got them here won't get them to the next level.

The formal commitment is two 90-minute sessions per month. However, the real work happens between sessions. You should expect to spend 2-3 hours per week actively applying the frameworks and shifting your operational habits.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is the bedrock of executive coaching. I sign a strict NDA before our first session. Nothing discussed in our container is ever shared with your board, your team, or the public without your explicit permission.

The standard 6-month engagement is a significant investment of both time and capital, reflecting the high-leverage nature of the work. Exact pricing is discussed during the intro call after determining if we are a mutual fit.
