I am an engineer turned entrepreneur with over 40 years of technology experience and six years of startup experience. I recently retired from my successful career in the machine tools industry and machine tools accessories on November 30, 2023. During this time, I've led teams, navigated setbacks and achievements, and continually improved personally and professionally. My journey has given me a deep understanding of the complexities of building a business, particularly in technology-driven industries. I have transitioned through three major career changes, giving me firsthand insight into the challenges of anxiety, disappointment, and isolation that often accompany such transitions. Despite these obstacles, each venture has been deeply fulfilling, and I'm motivated to share these experiences with budding entrepreneurs, leaders, and managers. As a business coach, I have had the privilege of working directly with CEOs, startup founders, investors, and VCs. My mission is to guide early-stage startups through the entire startup-building process and make them investable. With my technology and industry background, as well as a global perspective on product development, I help my clients identify the shortest and most effective path from their current capabilities to hidden market opportunities. My coaching approach is rooted in creating credible, capable, and visible leaders. I enable my clients to present themselves confidently to outside resources and investors, proving their readiness for the next stage of growth. My coaching process involves significant emotional and cognitive effort, treating clients' personal experiences with great care, attention, and confidentiality. What inspires me most is witnessing my clients transform, overcoming perceived limitations, and reconnecting with themselves. The spark in their eyes when they achieve breakthroughs is truly fulfilling. If you're looking to elevate your startup, connect with your purpose, and unlock your potential, I would love to partner with you on this journey. Let’s discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals and make your startup thrive.
