How I help
startups and
their leaders

Problem Solver

Startups create the greatest potential for big rewards. That’s why they’re so exciting. But they come with extra uncertainty and risk. And startup leaders usually face their most critical issues with limited resources and time.

In these key moments, I engage with you to attack a single opportunity or challenge quickly and effectively. I design the strategy and execute what’s needed to achieve your successful outcome.


These “Project COO” engagements are flexible and custom-built to fit your unique needs. While the work can apply to any crucial issue, here of some of the most common results:

  • Raise a round of funding

  • Design and build a product or service

  • Achieve product market fit

  • Craft or expand the right team

  • Unstick or de-risk a problem project

  • Accelerate the path to profitability or scale

Fractional COO

In many cases, a startup needs to boost its decision-making and execution across many aspects of the business. To improve outcomes across your entire startup at once, I can join you or your team as a fractional COO.

Even if you already have a Chief Operating Officer, I can temporarily work alongside them, leveling-up performance by putting my operating system to work.

In a fractional COO engagement, I allocate a portion of my time to you and your venture. We can adjust the volume and duration of our work together to suit your needs.

Execution Coach

Whether training privately with individuals, leading workshops with teams, or delivering seminars to larger crowds, I train others on my execution framework in various ways.

Based on the unique needs of your venture, team, or organization, I will craft and deliver an ideal learning package, helping you operat like a “Startup COO”. Typical engagements options include:

  • Keynote or featured remarks

  • Private coaching sessions

  • Half to multi-day workshops

  • Ongoing team training / support
