About Tristram
Seasoned exec in high growth start-ups (Turo, Outschool) and ex-Bain consultant. As a coach, I have two goals. First, I've built, run and scaled teams many times over. I've learned the hard way how to run high performing teams and seen what's get people promoted or not. I can help you think through your path to promotion. Second, I've secured jobs at many different start-ups and have a perspective on how you can pick a good start-up to work at, get interviews and get offers. If you're thinking about entering the start-up world or trying to navigate it, I'd love to help.
Why do I coach?
I was a teacher and helped start a run in the first part of my career. I love helping others grow, learn and thrive. I also benefited from coaching myself.
