When the stakes rise and your role outpaces your certainty, you need more than advice. You need clarity, composure, and a strategic partner who understands both the world you operate in and the pressure you are carrying. I help executives, new CEOs, and investor-backed leaders sharpen their thinking, build conviction, and perform at the highest level.​​​​​​

You deserve a partner who brings clarity, calm, and real operating experience.
I’m an ICF-certified executive coach and strategic advisor who has spent over twenty years leading and advising high-growth healthcare, biotech, and services organizations. I have held P&L responsibility exceeding $1 billion, led distributed teams of hundreds, and guided companies through rapid expansion, transformation, and successful exits.​
​
High-performing leaders don’t struggle because they lack intelligence, drive, or ambition. They struggle when the complexity of their role outpaces the clarity of their leadership — when the pressure to perform disconnects them from the purpose and energy that once fueled their success.
That’s where I come in.
​
My coaching blends strategic thinking, executional rigor, and grounded mentor energy so you can make decisions you trust, lead with conviction, and perform consistently under pressure.
Clarity in Thought. Confidence in Action.
Our work together is practical, structured, and tailored to the reality of your situation. You can expect support in three domains:
What Leaders Say
Mike was the steady voice I needed as a first-time CEO. He helped me sort through competing perspectives, frame choices clearly, and sharpen my message in board and team meetings. Through a tough market stretch, he kept me centered on a few priorities and the next best decision. I left each session with one or two actions I could take that week, and the momentum added up. Mike would be a great coach for senior executives under pressure who want to make better decisions and build team-wide ownership.
CEO, Private Equity-backed Behavioral Health Company
Mike has been a significant asset to our leadership team, bringing extensive expertise and making a lasting impact on our organization. He has collaborated with executives across multiple key departments, including Finance, Operations, Strategy, and Sales. I highly recommend Mike to any organization seeking to cultivate the strength & performance of their leadership team. His understanding of leadership principles, combined with his ability to foster growth and drive outcomes, make him a key resource for any growing company.
Founder/CEO, Private Equity-backed Sports Media Company
Mike is present, actively listens, and asks great questions to help me clarify my thoughts and concerns. I appreciate that he helps me look at things from a personal and professional lens, since they are both important for having balance and feeling fulfilled. He has provided new ideas and external resources that will help me with goal setting both short term and long term. I look forward to tracking progress on my goals and working with Mike in the future!

What's at Stake
If nothing changes, even strong leaders start to crack.
With the right support, you become centered and consistently effective.
If you keep carrying this alone, you risk:
-
Feeling reactive, exhausted, or checked out
-
Losing trust with your board, investors, or team
-
Making fear-based decisions that limit long-term value
-
Missing targets that actually matter to you
-
Questioning whether you still want the role you worked hard to earn
When you have a clear framework and a trusted partner, you can:
-
Think and decide with more structure and speed
-
Communicate confidently, even in messy situations
-
Build a team that moves with you instead of against you
-
Earn and keep the trust of your board, investors, and colleagues
-
Lead in a way that is sustainable for your life, not just your career
When you think clearly and lead confidently, exceptional performance becomes the natural outcome.
The pressure is real.
Most leaders keep it to themselves.
Stepping into a bigger role brings more expectations, more visibility, and less margin for error. You’re expected to lead with presence while navigating:
-
A board that wants immediate, measurable results
-
A team that needs direction, confidence, and context
-
A job that is bigger and more political than the last one
-
Decisions that are high-stakes and high-speed
-
Constant pressure to prove you belong in the seat
​
You're not alone. And you don't have to navigate this chapter without support.
