Illuminating Your Path to Transaction Success

As a transaction Coach, I focus on guiding founders and executives through the tumultuous waters of high-stakes deals, such as financing rounds, M&A, and strategic partnerships.  Consider me a coach, strategic advisor, and mentor in one.  I’m your empathetic ear, your sounding board, and your brainstorming partner.  

Why choose me?  Well, I’ve been in your shoes.  I’m a recovering deal junkie.  I’ve navigated hundreds of transactions worth over $72 billion.  I’ve earned my stripes in deal-making and  I know the rollercoaster ride well.  I’ve been on it from the first inquiry to the nail-biting closing.  As an executive, I’ve also lived through the consequences of my negotiations.  I bring that experience to the table and equip you with the insights and strategies to navigate each twist with confidence.

But here’s the kicker: I don’t just offer coaching; I offer access to all my knowledge and experience.  Need help to dissect terms (or simply understand them)?  Want to explore other solutions or discuss overlooked issues?  Consider it done.  Rest assured, I work on your terms—you can choose hourly sessions or a tailored package to suit your needs.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: I’m not here to run your deal for you or serve as your legal advisor. Thousands of people can do that for you. But if you’re seeking a trusted sounding board to talk about ideas, express concerns, and regain clarity in chaos, I can help.  Rather than spin your wheels talking over your concerns with your family and friends or losing sleep ruminating about your deal, talk to me.  In our sessions, you’ll find a neutral, calm space to recalibrate and refocus. It’s a sanctuary where the storm outside can’t touch you.

I ground my method in a personalized approach that prioritizes your unique needs, goals, and values.  I will use your goals, values, leadership, and learning styles.  I’ll combine these with your self-care routine and what brings you joy.  This mix will help you clarify priorities and stay steady amid emotional turbulence. 

So, think of me as your coach, mentor, and advisor in one.  I hold a torch high to light the path through the chaos of deal-making.  Together, we’ll navigate the moonless night and emerge stronger on the other side.
