How it works

I offer focused, strategic guidance as a Thought Partner and Strategic Advisor for startup founders and CEOs. Whether you're pivoting, making critical decisions, or tackling complex challenges, we'll brainstorm solutions, evaluate options, and outline strategies to drive growth and overcome obstacles. Our engagements create a space to reflect on ideas, uncover blind spots, and reduce the isolation of leadership. Building on my experience, I provide insights to navigate complex relationships with co-founders and boards, align interests, and foster productive communication. My role is to challenge, motivate, and support you through strategic decision-making, helping you uncover innovative solutions for both personal and business growth.
For startups seeking deeper involvement, I also serve as an Advisory Board Member or Observer, providing ongoing strategic guidance, timely advice, and a trusted partnership to support key decisions and drive progress.
Engagements can be held in person in Palo Alto, online, or outdoors to create the right environment for reflection and progress.

Engagement Options

Whether you're seeking immediate insights, a short-term breakthrough, or ongoing strategic support, I offer tailored engagement options designed to align with your startup's goals:

One-Off Strategic Session: A single, focused session to tackle immediate challenges, brainstorm new ideas, or explore strategic opportunities—perfect for founders seeking quick, impactful input.
Breakthrough Workshop Series: A short-term, results-driven engagement over 3-5 intensive sessions designed to dive deep into a key challenge or opportunity, delivering clarity, actionable strategies, and a clear path forward.
Ongoing Strategy Sessions: Regular weekly or bi-weekly sessions providing consistent Thought Partnership. These sessions empower founders to solve complex challenges, align with their vision, and make bold, impactful decisions.
Advisory Board/Observer Role: For startups requiring sustained, high-level involvement, I serve as an Advisory Board Member or Observer, offering ongoing strategic recommendations and insights to the founder outside of formal meetings.
