Ask Me Anything

Most of my coaching and advisory work happens through deeper engagements, but sometimes you don’t need a full project, retainer, or ongoing commitment. You just need a sharp, experienced thought partner who clears the noise and creates a path forward in one high-signal conversation.

This one-hour consult is for founders, operators, people leaders, and high-slope professionals who want direct advice on a specific challenge, such as:

• Hiring and talent strategy: defining roles, evaluating candidates, improving interview loops, building talent density

• Leadership and management: navigating team dynamics, giving hard feedback, scaling yourself as a leader

• Org design and operating rhythms: clarifying ownership, improving decision-making, reducing founder bottlenecks

• Founder, executive, or career questions: pressure-testing a move, preparing for a transition, untangling a messy people problem

• Anything adjacent: if it sits at the intersection of startups, talent, leadership, performance, or High Slope Talent growth, it is probably fair game

I bring experience supporting 100+ founders, managing 75+ team members, hiring 2,500+ people, serving as a startup’s first people leader three times, helping scale a company from seed to unicorn, and partnering with venture-backed companies as a VC Talent Partner. Come with a messy question, an important decision, or a problem you’ve been circling.

We’ll use up to one hour to cut through the noise and get to practical next steps.
