Leadership Coaching
With 30+ years of experience, I guide executives, business owners, and boards through complexity, high-stakes decisions, and transformational growth. My work spans board leadership, strategic coaching, and keynote speaking, providing real-world strategies to strengthen leadership, drive change, and create lasting value.
Board Leadership
Strong board leadership is the foundation of a thriving organization. I bring the experience, strategic insight, and governance expertise to help companies navigate complexity and drive meaningful impact.
I have served on nine boards across public, private, and nonprofit sectors, holding key roles including Board Chair, Nominating & Governance Chair, Audit/Finance Committee Chair, and Compensation Committee Member. I’ve worked with companies to transform their boards, lead high-stakes leadership transitions, and guide critical strategic pivots. I also played an instrumental role in taking a company public, forming and serving on a Strategic Advisory Committee that helped lead the company through its IPO—an essential exit strategy for investors.
I understand the complexities of board leadership at every level and bring a proven track record of guiding organizations through critical moments. I am open to future board opportunities where my experience can help drive strategy, shape governance, and create lasting impact.
Strategic Coaching
Navigating growth, change, and high-stakes decisions requires more than experience—it takes perspective, clarity, and strategic thinking. With over 30 years of leadership experience, I’ve worked across industries and business stages—from global corporations to early-stage ventures—helping leaders tackle complex challenges and lead with confidence.
I’ve guided executives, business owners, and boards through business transitions, restructurings, leadership team development, and organizational growth. Whether the challenge is scaling, navigating uncertainty, or making critical decisions, I provide practical, real-world guidance to help leaders create momentum and drive sustainable success.
A key part of my strategic coaching is helping business owners prepare for and execute successful exits. I’ve sold my own companies, led a private equity firm investing in mid-market businesses, and vetted over 1,000 privately held companies valued between $50M–$350M. As the Founder and Managing Partner of Exit Pathways, I work with owners to structure high-value exits, align leadership, and protect what they’ve built.
Keynote Speaking
Leadership isn’t theoretical—it’s built through experience, resilience, and the ability to navigate complexity. I bring all of that to the stage.
As a seasoned executive leader, company founder, board member, and leadership coach, I’ve led teams across five continents, worked inside some of the world’s largest organizations, and advised business owners, executives, and boards through high-stakes decisions and transformations. I’ve been on both sides of the table—as a leader making tough calls and as a coach guiding businesses at every stage. I know what it takes to build, scale, and lead with confidence.
But my experience isn’t just built within companies and boardrooms. I’ve run marathons, competed in triathlons, and completed the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim (48 miles in a single push). I’ve traveled to some of the world’s most remote places, and I’m an avid runner, mountain biker, fly-fisherman, and outdoorsman—because leadership, like endurance, requires grit, adaptability, and the ability to push beyond comfort.
I bring energy, authenticity, and real-world experience to every event. Whether it’s a conference, company gathering, or executive summit, I challenge conventional thinking, inspire action, and equip leaders with the tools to make better decisions and drive meaningful impact.
