MY WORK
I support private equity-backed executives and sponsors in producing extraordinary investment returns by unlocking exceptionally positive levels of individual and organizational performance.
01
EXECUTIVE COACH
I guide private equity-backed executives in mastering the evidence-based practices of wellbeing and positive leadership that are the foundation for achieving ambitious individual goals, building durable resilience, and unlocking exceptionally positive levels of organizational performance. In the process, my coachees learn and develop practices that cultivate inner tranquility and harmony and create a positive ripple effect on families, friends, colleagues, and communities.
02
EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
I support the success of the CEO; engaging with them as an active partner and counselor in the stewardship of the business. I act as a champion of the value-creation process, working with the CEO and private equity sponsor in aligning execution with strategy, bringing performance management systems and tools to bare, and ensuring attention is focused toward working “on” the business, rather than “in” the business.
03
INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR/OBSERVER
I cultivate healthy boardroom dynamics and effective, thoughtful, and timely decision-making by bringing reason, equanimity, and judgment to the deliberations of private equity-backed company boards in both fiduciary and non-fiduciary roles.
04
INTERIM EXECUTIVE
I enhance private equity portfolio returns by shepherding private equity-sponsored companies during times of transition in interim CEO, COO, and CFO roles. In certain cases, this includes guiding underperforming companies to local maximum outcomes during the period preceding a transaction that unlocks the value.
