Why you need an executive coach
You already know what’s wrong, but the cost piles up in the months between knowing and acting. I help you make the hard calls and take action sooner.
The work stalls, they poison the culture, your best people leave, and it takes six months to replace them. We spot the mismatch early and fix it.
The company can only go as fast as you can, and you only have 24 hours in a day. Strong leaders leave because they never own anything. We hand the right decisions to the right people.
Misalignment slows everything down, then blows up at the worst possible moment. We get your leadership team in lockstep.
Your team burns months on a half-baked plan and stops believing in the mission. We create a clear game plan and drive results.
The company outgrows you before you can evolve on your own. We transform you into the executive you need to become.
Avoid one bad executive hire, spend one less month raising, or settle one co-founder dispute before it blows up, and coaching pays for itself several times over. Most clients get more than one of those.

Meet Eric
I’m a former founder and CTO who built the PlayStation Network, and I coached OpenAI’s platform engineering team from 2019 to 2022. For 15 years I’ve coached technical founders through hiring, alignment, fundraising, and scaling, and my coaching is direct and immediately actionable.
Other coaches want to make you cry, I want to make you win.
