High-Impact Coaching & Mentoring For Changemakers
I bring the full weight of real-world founder experience to our sessions – not just theory, but the lived reality of building, leading, and exiting a startup. Together we’ll focus on what matters most to you, tackle what’s getting in the way, and build momentum where it counts. I’m not just an accredited executive coach – I’m a fellow founder who’s in your corner.

Simon has helped me explore a fundamental career decision I have been avoiding for years. His coaching has enabled me to get to the bottom of the issue of which kind of business I wish to pursue in way that goes much deeper than financial considerations and into the questions such as how my work can contribute to a meaningful, fulfilling life.

Why Coaching When We Have AI?
