I work 1:1 with people who need a high-context sounding board for:

• making decisions

• navigating change or a next step

• or seeing the bigger picture

This is deep support through new roles, existential career questions, sabbaticals, and business launches, pivots, pauses. and wind-downs.

Advising is available as a retainer or one-off session, like office hours, idea jams, deep dives, or anxiety retirement parties.

For a limited set of companies, I will embed in early teams as a part-time lead to build what doesn’t exist yet but needs to.

This is high-range versatility from functions I’ve led and boosted:

• strategy and operations

• design and marketing

• program development

• innovation and AI

• culture and community

Sometimes we’re figuring out a better business model, standing up a new function, launching a program, or prototyping a service.

Sometimes it’s rerouting strategy in real time or helping someone lead through a tricky transition—especially when things are high-risk, ambiguous, complex, and moving fast.

Each engagement is scoped based on the stage, the stakes, and the kind of momentum you’re trying to create.

I run Foundation Sprints, Design Sprints, and custom sprints.

These are short, structured work sessions for things like kicking off a new initiative, rethinking direction, or trying to align around a complex decision.

I’ve developed and facilitated sprints around identity, business ideas, influence mapping, and life and leadership transitions, drawing on frameworks I helped develop and scale at Google and Google Ventures.

A 90-day structured system for turning “some day” ideas into real personal experiments.

This is a rev on Google’s 20% model, which I’ve used dozens of times to explore my own interests and have helped 100s of others do the same.

This is great for trying things without the pressure to perform or quit your job. Just a time to:

• indulge in your curiosities

• explore your creativity

• build new relationships that encourage self-discovery

A 12-week self-management and entrepreneurial skills program to help you get back in the driver’s seat of your life.

For people at a turning point—post-burnout, mid-sabbatical, pre-transition, or just done living on autopilot, on someone else’s terms and timeline.

You’ll revisit foundational concepts and learn language and practices to move with more agency, confidence, and peace of mind.

The program integrates IPEC’s leadership and energy framework with adaptations from my work in venture capital, design thinking, and culturally-affirming entrepreneurship.
