Startup Coaches

With years of hands-on entrepreneurial experience, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to build, scale, and sustain a business. As the Co-founder & CCO of S2S Dynamics, a circular economy startup tackling e-waste through tech-driven solutions, I have led commercial strategy, partnerships, and market positioning to drive growth and impact. Prior to this, I co-founded and scaled a renewable energy company to million-dollar revenues, overseeing marketing, strategic alliances, and business development across multiple markets. My journey has given me firsthand exposure to the challenges of fundraising, go-to-market strategy, and sustainable business models—insights I now share as an adjunct professor mentoring startups and executives at IE University. Whether you're an aspiring founder refining your idea, a startup looking to scale, or a corporate innovator driving intrapreneurship, I can help you navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship with practical guidance and actionable strategies.

I help ambitious professionals navigate the fast-paced world of startups — from identifying the right company to join, to launching one of their own. I bring a unique perspective from my experience as an investor at Dragoneer, where I’ve partnered with founders across every stage of growth, from early seed to pre-IPO. That experience has given me an insider’s understanding of what makes companies succeed and key challenges they face, as well as what great founders look for in early hires, and how to evaluate opportunities for impact, equity, and long-term growth. Before investing, I worked closely with operators and entrepreneurs during my time at BCG, helping them think through hiring, product strategy, and scaling challenges. I can help you find or build the right fit based on your skills, motivations, and risk appetite. Whether you’re an aspiring founder or someone who wants to join a high-growth startup, I’ll help you clarify your path, position yourself effectively, and take bold but strategic next steps.

From finding a real cofounder to navigating early investors, I want to help.

First at Relay and now at Leland, I've been the growth hacker, driving revenue from $0-$XK-$XXK-$XXXK, and I now leverage that experience to mentor aspiring entrepreneurs.
