CEO & leadership coaching

I help CEOs and senior leaders develop the skills and mindsets needed to become higher-performing leaders, enabling them to extend their positive impact to those around them.​

 

My sweet spot? Working with senior leaders in mid to large-scale global companies, where I can help them navigate complexity, lead with confidence and drive meaningful change.

why I can relate to your journey as a leader: 

  • I've walked along that same path - three times as a CEO, in three different countries

​​

  • I know the loneliness of being at the top, and the weight of leadership responsibility 

 

  • I understand the importance of decisiveness and the challenge that sometimes offers in bringing a team along 

 

  • I've felt the uncertainty that comes with making those tough decisions ​​

  • I've struggled with the all-consuming nature of work while trying to be the husband and father I wanted to be

 

  • I know the challenge of getting genuine, candid feedback from across the company

 

  • I’ve experienced both the highs of success and the lows of my mistakes

my clients tell me

They value my CEO experience, but even more, they appreciate my direct yet caring approach, my ability to challenge their beliefs and my commitment to holding them accountable.

WHAT I Do:

leadership & growth

MY APPROACH TO

​The Evolving Leader

Effective leaders need a range of skills, some developed and others still evolving

Evolving Leadership in

a Changing World

Effective CEOs must evolve to keep up with rapid changes, from macro shifts to technologies like generative AI

Embracing Unique

Journeys

Through my own successes and mistakes, I've developed strong values and a deep passion for supporting others on their journey of self-discovery

Coaching as

Continuous Growth

We’re all works in progress.  Coaching is about continuous change, learning, and building capacity—it's not about having all the answers

Leaders' Impact

on Society

As leaders, we have a disproportionate impact on society. I believe we have both the opportunity and the obligation to evolve for better outcomes
