ABOUT ME
Strategic Advisor to Founders, Families & Leadership Teams
I work with founders and family business leaders who are carrying something real.
Growth.
Succession.
Responsibility.
Legacy.
Most of the time, what looks like a strategy issue isn’t strategy. It’s misalignment. It’s unspoken expectations. It’s a next-gen leader trying to prove themselves. It’s a founder who isn’t sure who they are without the company. It’s an executive team being polite instead of being honest.
That’s the work I do.
I don’t come in to run workshops for the sake of motion. I build long-term advisory relationships. I help ownership groups think in decades, not quarters. I help next-generation leaders grow into the weight of the role instead of inheriting it by default. I help executive teams move from chaos to clarity.
I think in leadership arcs.
I care about transformation.
I pay attention to subtext.
I name what others are circling.
I created the Imprint framework - Drivers, Designers, Developers, and Doers - because most conflict isn’t personal. It’s wiring. When leaders understand how they’re built, they stop performing and start leading from strength.
My work sits at the intersection of performance and identity. Because succession isn’t just operational. It’s emotional. Power shifts. Voice shifts. Relevance shifts. If you don’t address that, the strategy won’t stick.
I’m direct. I’m relational. I’m not afraid of tension. I care about clarity more than comfort and about trust more than applause.
At the end of the day, I’m trying to help leaders build companies that outlast them without losing themselves in the process.
I live in California with my family. I believe people matter most. Work is good for your soul. And, your best days are still ahead of you.
If you’re carrying something heavy and you want to carry it well, let’s talk.
