Welcome. I bring 25 years of senior leadership and consulting experience to my work as an executive and team coach. My background spans senior and C‑suite roles across KPMG, Coca‑Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, and Honeywell Group Limited, where I strengthened leadership, shaped culture, and enabled organisations to scale with clarity and discipline. My coaching blends behavioural science, strategic insight, and real‑world executive experience to help leaders navigate complexity, elevate performance, and make high‑quality decisions with confidence. I have supported executives and teams across industries in expanding their leadership capacity and delivering sustained, meaningful results. If you are ready to accelerate your growth and lead with greater clarity and intention, I would be honoured to partner with you.

I currently manage a hedge fund investing across asset classes, and have spent my career across venture capital, consulting and startup operating roles. Over the years, I’ve sat on both sides of the capital table, as a founder, startup CFO, venture investor, and fund manager. I’ve helped raise capital from Pre-Seed through Series A+, built investor pipelines from scratch, and evaluated thousands of opportunities as the one making investment decisions. Across my fund and angel investments, I’ve backed 50+ companies with multiple exits. I also advise founders through 1871, Techstars, Plug and Play, and 500 Global. I don’t coach full-time. I do this alongside my day job because I enjoy working with a small number of motivated people and giving back where I can. I’ve learned a lot by being in the seat myself, and I try to pass along what I’ve picked up from actually doing the work. It keeps things grounded and practical.

I’m a certified Executive Coach. I’m also an investor, startups advisor, partnerships expert, and an award winning technology leader, with nearly two decades of experience working with the world’s largest companies including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, as well as with high growth Silicon Valley tech companies like Okta. I hold an executive coaching certification from UC Berkeley HaaS School of Business, in partnership with Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute, which informs my approach for executive coaching, to ensures a structured, results-oriented process that drives meaningful progress and personal growth.

If you want to be a better CEO of your own life, you've come to the right place. I meet most of my clients at a transition point, when they suspect that life could be so much richer and want to take action to make it so. My approach to coaching stems from the belief that the relationship we have with ourselves reverberates across every other part of our lives. To reach your most ambitious goals, therefore, requires conscientious cultivation of healthy, empowering self-partnership. My practice combines Alderian Psychology, Virtue Ethics, and Applied Positive Psychology with a focus on human flourishing. Some of the primary pain points I address are: negative self talk, limiting beliefs, burn out, lack of self trust, purposelessness, unhealthy communication patterns, uncertainty about next steps, managing stress, aligned decision making, and failure to take consistent action to achieve goals. Prior to coaching, I spent 8+ years as a 3x founder in B2B climate fintech, consulting, and fiscal literacy; 14+ years as a workshop facilitator & educator; and 5 years as an international speaker. Since starting Mountain Tops Consulting, I have coached 18 professionals and facilitated 200+ hours of executive masterminds, 60 development workshops, and 5 leadership retreats. I currently lead programming at the Entrepreneur House of San Diego, the mission of which is to maximize founders’ personal and professional growth. Our work together will include: ✓ Performance & satisfaction assessments per category of life ✓ Identification & correction of limiting beliefs per category of life ✓ Clarification of key motivators & goals ✓ Goals achievement strategy ✓ Custom Development Dashboard (the Motherboard) that tracks behavioral patterns, themes of failure, blind spots, and monthly / quarterly / annual goal progress ✓ Accountability checks ✓ Support in navigating day to day professional & personal conflicts My life's work is to help people improve their self-partnerships so that they can achieve their most ambitious personal and professional summits. Let's figure out what that looks like for you.

Using the Hudson Institute’s Leadership Coaching Model, I have a focused approach to help you assess your leadership strengths, identify barriers to your growth, and navigate your future options in a clear and focused way to get to the career fulfillment you are looking for. I will work to design a unique 3 to 6-month coaching program that results in setting and achieving goals you previously thought were out of reach. Some of the areas I have helped clients with include increasing your leadership confidence, overcoming obstacles to your development, burnout and discovering greater work/life integration, onboarding successfully into a new leadership role, and navigating a major career change with support and guidance.

Hi, I'm Siri (yes, like the iPhone), a Chicago native and the founder of Chitown Tutoring, one of the highest-rated college admissions, academic coaching and test prep companies in Chicago. With over a decade of experience, I’ve helped more than 500 students build confidence, raise their scores, get admitted into T50 undergraduate and graduate school programs, and and take control of their academic futures, especially in high-stakes environments like the SAT, ACT, GRE, and high school entrance exams in Chicago and NYC. I hold a civil engineering degree from Illinois Tech and an MBA from Chicago Booth, receiving full-tuition scholarships from both institutions. As a first-generation / low-income college student, I know what it’s like to face big goals with limited guidance. That’s why I built Chitown Tutoring -- to provide the kind of consistent, high-quality support I wish more students had access to. Over the years, I’ve designed full curricula, onboarded and trained 50+ tutors, led school programs, partnered with various youth organizations servicing low-income students, and personally delivered more than 10,000 hours of one-on-one instruction. I created Chitown to close the gap between potential and access. I don’t just help students pass a test or get into their top school. I help them believe in their ability to learn, to problem-solve, and to compete. I blend personalized instruction with strategy and mindset development so students can excel in school and beyond.

After growing up in Connecticut (USA) I studied theatre and acting at Fairfield University (CT) and the British American Drama Academy in London. I lived in NYC for 10 years, during which time I had many different jobs while pursing my love of the stage. I received my TEFL certificate in Paris in 2011 and since 2013, I have been living in France and tutoring privately and in schools in Manhattan, Paris, and online. I very quickly expanded my tutoring skills to verbal test preparation (GMAT, GRE, EA, SAT, TOEFL, IELTS) and built my experience tutoring reading, writing, literature, and history. I have worked for a variety of companies with students ranging from pre-school to late adult age, with various levels of language and comprehension. In addition to being a tutor, I am an actor, singer, and currently actively pursuing my writing career. I have had several articles published on various travel and teaching websites, have created two personal travel blogs, and have recently written a novel as well as several screenplays. It is my true love of travel and verbal expression that have brought me to this point.

Hi there, I'm Brian. I've been trained at the Center for Executive Coaching, and have worked with leaders at every level to help them create culture, define and implement strategic initiatives, and take consistent action to become and achieve. You have all the information you could ever want at your fingertips; what you likely need to get to the next level is a partner outside your organization to help you tactically apply what you already know. That's where I come in. As a leader, you are the message. So what do the people around you hear? I work with you on your pressing issues so that you send the message you want to send by refining who you are. My approach is centered around asking powerful questions that reveal truths and help you navigate your unique challenges. In addition to my private practice, I have institutional experience from my roles at Crumbl Cookies and at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in preparing individuals for strategic roles in a global context. Let's work together to elevate your leadership potential and drive success in your career. Reach out to start your journey today!
