Leadership and team coaching.
I work with leaders and teams on what gets in the way of the work. I have founded seven companies and led teams in them, and I am an ICF-certified coach and team coach.
Get in touch
Situations I work with
A leader who is busy all day and unsure it is the right work.
A team having the same discussion again and again, without resolution.
Things people think in the room but do not say.
A new role or a new team, and no shared picture of how to work.
Change arriving faster than the team can take it in.
How I work
I usually work with the leader and the team at the same time. We look at the leader's own habits in the decisions that come up, and we look at the team in its live meetings, not in a workshop away from them.
A typical engagement starts with a conversation about one concrete problem, such as a recurring argument or a decision that keeps getting pushed. From there we decide together how many sessions it needs.
Background
Hemi
Co-founder, CTO and head of product in a regulated health field, with a large seed round.
The challenge. Complex chronic pain needs many disciplines working as one team, in a regulated field where health data must be handled with great care.
What I did. As co-founder, CTO and head of product, I worked with the team on how it made decisions through a fast-changing period.
What changed. Care coordinators, clinicians and patients working from one shared picture of the treatment.
Reach
Co-founded, venture-backed and sold. Online physio, now the Ascenti Reach app.
The challenge. Physiotherapy was built around clinic visits, so help often came late and was hard to reach.
What I did. Co-founded the company and led product and technology, building a hybrid service with digital triage and easy access to clinicians.
What changed. Acquired and rolled out as the Ascenti Reach app across all Ascenti claims. Part of Ascenti's IT Innovator of the Year win at the HealthInvestor Awards 2022.
AppMonk
A builder studio with more than 30 startup clients over seven years.
What it was. A builder studio that worked with startups, with two startups built inside the company itself.
How it grew. Two partners joined after the first two years, and the company ran for about seven years.
Why it matters to me. It is the company that felt most like my own, and the clearest expression of how I like to build.
About
I have founded seven companies over 25 years, three of them venture-backed, with 13 different co-founders. Most of what I learned about building came from the people in those companies, and how they decided things together.
I trained as an ICF-certified coach and team coach. I work best in the room, watching a team while it works.
Get in touchBefore the session, I knew what I had to do. After, my whole body knew it too, in every cell. I am ready now.
Making peace with my own habits opened up decisions that now just flow.
The sessions helped me see my priorities very clearly. That gives me a lot of energy to go after them. Before, I felt drained.
