WHAT I DO
Most CEOs are surrounded by people who tell them what they want to hear. I'm not one of those people.
I bring 28+ years of operating in the highest-pressure rooms inside Silicon Valley startups, Fortune 500 boardrooms, and fast-scaling companies to give you the kind of direct, experienced counsel that helps you move the needle quickly.
My work sits at the intersection of leadership, organizational truth, and human performance. I help first-time CEOs see around corners, get honest about what's holding them back, and build the operating clarity to execute at a level most only dream about.
BACKGROUND
0128+ years at the highest levels
Worked alongside CEOs and founders at Silicon Valley's most iconic companies, serving as an elite Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, and strategic advisor at organizations including Google, Apple, and multiple high-growth startups.
02Author & thought leader
Published author on leadership, operational excellence, and organizational culture. Viral LinkedIn voice with a track record of saying the things most people in this industry are afraid to say.
03Founder, operator, builder
Built companies, programs, and communities from scratch. I understand the weight of being the one everyone looks to and what it takes to keep showing up well.
04Selective by design
I work with a small number of CEOs each year. This isn't a program. It's a relationship built on radical honesty, deep trust, and results that compound.
"Phoenix made me realize the best coach is one who knows me, my motivations, and my endgame better than I do. And how to actually get there."
