My newsletter is all about the future of work.

I am an unusual CEO coach: I was a maker, a coder, a designer before being a leader.
My 3-part process integrates the best startup wisdom.
Plus the more important stuff no one talks about:
Empathic, cross-cultural and mindful leadership.
Most leaders work a lot of hours, but don't reach their peak performance. Let's get there and beyond by focusing on your mindset, balance, and communication.
The company culture you create determines its success and your happiness. Learn mindful leadership that fosters creativity and quality for scale.
I help you scale your business, drawing on my experience growing two difficult startups to acquisition. I coach strategy, ops, funding, board comms and more.
Rob is transparent, constructive and extremely motivating. He always helps to find a way to solve problems not by stepping in, but by helping me find my own approach. Rob makes me feel like I can make anything happen if I just try hard enough, which so far has proven to be true.
Rob's combination of strategic thinking, technical chops and a designer's attention to getting things right is inspiring!
Rob is a great listener, and has been a great mentor, always providing tough but honest assessment of my performance and motivating me to become a better manager. Rob is able to view problems from a hands-on level, while at the same time keeping in mind the high-level strategy of the company.
Growing companies is hard. Doing it alone is even harder.
I’ll help you achieve ambitious things.
