In addition to my advisory work with established companies, I donate my time as a volunteer coach with a local business incubator, working with founders at the earliest stages of company formation.

This work focuses on helping entrepreneurs clarify their business models, sharpen strategic thinking, test assumptions, and develop the leadership discipline required to move from idea to execution.

Start-Up Coaching

Working with start‑up teams keeps me closely connected to emerging technologies, new markets, and the real challenges founders face as they build companies from the ground up. It also reinforces the same principles that guide my professional work with CEOs and owners: clarity, disciplined decision‑making, accountability, and execution that turns ideas into real results.

I have had the opportunity to mentor and coach several promising start‑ups, including Evonatura and Needle in the Noise, both of which have gone on to win pitch competitions for their innovative approaches and technology. I encourage you to visit their websites and explore the impressive work they are doing:

My start‑up coaching work is separate from my consulting practice and is something I do to support entrepreneurship, innovation, and the next generation of business leaders.
