Unlock your vision

I help visionary scientists and engineers transform breakthrough ideas into scalable businesses. As the founding CEO of a venture-backed AI startup, successful researcher, PhD/MBA, and Northwestern faculty member, I understand both cutting-edge science and company-building.

My coaching helps technically-trained founders grow into effective business executives, equipping them with the strategic mindset and practical tools to secure funding, build a team, devise a go-to-market strategy, and achieve product-market fit.

Having experienced both the intensity of startup life and severe health challenges, I bring a unique perspective to my coaching. I emphasize discipline, focus, balance, and equanimity rooted in Zen practice and Stoic philosophy, which empowers my founders to navigate unrelenting startup and life pressures with clarity and resilience.

I work with founders who are on a mission to make the world better, who know they can’t do it alone, and who are committed to personal growth. If you're ready to build an impactful venture and grow as a leader, let's connect.
