I founded and led Qlarion, a government data analytics firm, through years of growth, challenges, and pivots. After applying proven frameworks, customer retention jumped from 54% to over 92%. That journey culminated in a successful exit: I sold Qlarion to a private equity-backed company at 11x earnings.

I'm a Gravitas-certified coach, my approach: 80% real-world experience, 20% proven frameworks. If you're ready to build systems that scale and position your company for strategic options, let's talk.

If you're a CEO of a growth-stage company with $1M+ in EBITDA, an executive team in place, and you're ready to build systems that scale—you're likely a fit. You're coachable, engaged, and want a coach who's been in your seat and exited successfully. Not for early-stage founders who want to stay hands-on in operations.
I specialize in working with growth-stage CEOs, founders, and senior executives who are scaling their companies and need clarity, leadership alignment, and operational structure.
I've been in your seat. I've built, scaled, and sold a business at 11x earnings. I'm also an active investor, so I see your business through the lens of what makes it attractive to buyers. My coaching is 80% real-world experience and 20% proven frameworks—not theory.
I work with growth-stage companies across multiple industries—including tech-enabled services, government contracting, defense technology, and B2B services. The common thread: you have $1M+ EBITDA and a clear path to scale or exit.
I believe in building systems, not dependencies. My goal is to help you become a stronger leader and build a business that runs without you. I'm direct, data-driven, and focused on outcomes.
Whether you're hitting ceilings as a founder, scaling your leadership team, or wrestling with operational complexity, you're not alone. Let's work together to create a roadmap that actually works.
