I’m a cross between an executive coach and a mentor. Working with me is not just about the blocking and tackling of career and business, but all parts of personal development.

Before becoming a coach, I founded, scaled and successfully exited Tender Greens, a restaurant brand I created from inception to $100 million in revenue and 1,200 employees.  Over 12 years, I dealt with co-founders, chaired the board of directors, managed legacy shareholders and private equity partners, navigating the growing pains of strategy, systems and people. I replaced myself in 2017 and retired in 2019.

My clients now range from VP through CEO and founder. I’m industry-agnostic and my referrals come mainly from clients, attorneys, fractional CFOs and private equity groups. I pride myself on my discretion.

Beyond helping my clients one-on-one get even better at what they do and have more fun doing it, I specialize in resolving conflict, thinking through transitions, and re-aligning partnerships and executive teams. I also lead off-sites where I use emotional intelligence, intentionality, mindfulness and strategic planning to make teams more intimate, focused and productive.

So, if your client is in uncharted waters in their career, experiencing overwhelm or conflict with their own success, their board, boss or team, or simply coming to (or needing to come to) the conclusion that what got them here isn’t necessarily going to get them there, it’s a good time to reach out to me. I would love to help.

I was talking with a client recently—a newly promoted senior executive who’d just inherited 20 direct reports and a double digit million dollar budget challenge. “I’m trying to get the signal through the noise – there’s so much inbound right now coming from both directions.” Sound familiar?

Most of us have been there.
