Mentoring

    For the decision only you can make — counsel from someone who has sat where you sit.

    I mentor a small number of senior leaders — founders at inflection points, executives stepping into board rooms, next-generation leaders preparing to take the wheel. By design, this is the smallest part of my practice: few seats, full attention.

    How it works

    Finite.
    Structured.
    Honest.

    1. 01

      A finite arc, not a subscription.

      Six months, defined start, defined graduation. We name the outcome on day one and work toward it.

    2. 02

      Structured and direct.

      Two sessions monthly, async counsel between, one emergency call per quarter when it truly can't wait.

    3. 03

      An honest ending.

      Arcs can renew once. After that, the right structures are advisory or ad-hoc — dependence is not the product.

    What it's grounded in

    • 1,000+ founders mentored across four continents.
    • Chief-mentor roles at the European Innovation Academy (eight years) and the Hult Prize; jury service for the European Commission's EIC Accelerator and MIT Innovators Under 35 — among many others.
    • Board seats on both sides of the table.
    • 21 years of banking discipline before any of it.
    Request a seat

    Tell me the decision you're navigating. If I'm not the right person, I'll say so.
