Start-Up Advising

After 20+ years in the corporate world, 8+ years working with start-ups of varying sizes and stages, and having worked on some of the coolest tech out there, I can provide a unique approach to helping the next generation of entrepreneurs increase their probability of success! My style is become part of your team. I want to get to know your people personally and be someone everyone can rely on. I leverage my coaching skills to listen carefully, highlight potential risks, and provide thoughtful recommendations for reducing them.

Reach out if you would like help with:

• Building a high-trust and high-respect culture to increase productivity

• Organizing and sustaining happy running teams

• Choosing the right project management style to support building products from ideation to mass production

• Implementing the right operational processes at the right time

• Coaching, mentoring and training employees to meet the organization's current and future needs

• Attracting and retaining top talent with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) best practices 

Or if you just want to pick the brain of someone who's "been there, done that."

• Is it normal to wear this many hats?

• Is it ok to accept this much risk in a design?

• How do I motivate a team when we are running out of money?

• What tools can we use that are low cost and "good enough"?

• I am worried about burning out my employees (or myself). Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

• I think we need to pivot. How do I lead my team through this change?

• How can this job be so stressful and so rewarding at the same time?
