I specialize in “nurturing curiosity” -- tapping into clients’ natural desire to explore, grow and create, both individually and within their organizations. I have evolved from being an ad man who knows all the answers, to recognizing that most leaders are fully capable of making the right decisions -- particularly when they have a supportive, collaborative and creative-minded partner working with them to get past their blind spots and see new possibilities. As an executive coach, I partner with entrepreneurial and corporate clients, to help them be more authentic and effective in their jobs and in their lives. My coaching model centers on short-term engagements, focused on specific, actionable improvements that drive personal and company performance, with a strong track record of working with clients who operate at the intersection of art and commerce. As a passionate, creative, results-oriented senior branding executive with a record of success building world-class organizations, I am skilled at solving multi-channel marketing challenges, identifying and driving forward new business opportunities, navigating competitive environments, and creating inspired brand development and marketing strategies. In short, I know how to consistently bring out the best in people and teams, inspire original and bold ideas, deliver high-ROI value to clients, and cultivate meaningful partnerships. Living in Southern California, I engage with clients via video-conference, and travel extensively with my branding consultancy and executive coaching work.
