Coaching

for Tech & Deep Science Founders

For the visionaries who dare to transform the world

You've been called crazy. Unrealistic. Too ambitious.

Good.

The world doesn't change when we play small. It transforms when determined individuals with brilliance and unwavering vision push beyond conventional boundaries.

This programme is for you if

  • You're a founder, co-founder, CEO, president, or managing director of a technology or deep science company with genuine desire to create meaningful positive impact

  • You're deeply committed to your vision and recognise that scaling requires more than just technical expertise

  • You're facing challenges that feel simultaneously external (business, market, funding) and internal (stress, uncertainty, lack of balance)

  • You want extraordinary success without sacrificing your health, relationships, or authentic self

  • You're open to approaches that bridge cutting-edge business strategy with ancient wisdom

This programme is not for you if

  • You're looking for quick fixes or shallow business hacks

  • You believe that personal sacrifice and burnout are necessary costs of success

  • You're resistant to examining how your internal patterns might be influencing your external results

  • You're unwilling to be vulnerable and authentic with a trusted group of peers

What makes my approach different

Most business coaching focuses exclusively on external strategies—what to do. While valuable, this approach often fails because it doesn't address the internal operating system—how you think, what drives you, and what might be limiting your effectiveness.

I integrate three powerful dimensions:

  1. Proven business expertise - Drawing from my experience founding and scaling one of New Zealand's leading cloud computing providers and working with numerous successful tech ventures

  2. Advanced performance principles - Implementing scientifically-validated approaches to decision-making, leadership psychology, and organisational dynamics

  3. Whole-person development - Addressing the deeper patterns that drive both success and limitation, bringing clarity, focus, and alignment that transforms both professional outcomes and personal wellbeing

The result is a uniquely effective approach that produces measurable business results while enhancing your experience of leadership.

The outcomes you can expect

  • Clearer strategic thinking and more confident decision-making

  • Enhanced ability to attract and retain top talent

  • Improved capital raising success and investor relations

  • More effective delegation and team empowerment

  • Accelerated product development and go-to-market execution

  • Reduced stress and improved mental clarity

  • Greater resilience during inevitable challenges

  • More fulfilling personal relationships

  • Deeper connection to purpose and meaning

  • Sustainable high performance without burnout

Why investment matters

Participants invest 10% of their annual income in this programme. This model ensures:

  1. Commitment - I work only with founders who genuinely value their own development

  2. Accessibility - Leaders at different stages can access the same quality of support

  3. Alignment - Our success is directly tied to helping you increase your impact and income

The most successful entrepreneurs understand that investing in their own leadership capacity yields the highest possible return—for their company, their stakeholders, and themselves.

Application process

  1. Initial conversation - A 1:1 meeting (in person or via video) to explore fit and alignment

  2. Careful curation - Participants are thoughtfully matched to ensure cohort chemistry

  3. Mutual commitment - Both parties decide whether this is the right partnership

The founder's journey — From technical expert to visionary leader

Many technical founders face a crossroads: remain at the helm as CEO or step aside for "professional management." The conventional wisdom often pushes for the latter.

With the right development, technically brilliant founders can become extraordinary CEOs—leaders who combine deep domain expertise with the strategic and interpersonal mastery needed to scale.

Our programme is designed specifically for this journey—to help you amplify your strengths, navigate your growth edges, and emerge as the leader your company needs to fulfil its highest potential.
