Leadership Conflict Resolution for Startups.
I fix the friction between founders and leadership teams that stall growth, threaten funding, and block acquisitions.

As Featured In
Internal friction and unresolved conflict are business and financial risks.
I am brought in when leadership tension reaches a breaking point. Common issues I resolve include:
Partner & Co-Founder Disagreements
Arguments over equity, vision, or performance that threaten the company's stability and growth.
Leadership Bottlenecks
Passive-aggressive behavior or lack of trust between the CEO and the executive team.
Funding & M&A Risks
Team tensions that create red flags for investors during a deal.
Execution Delays
Teams that can't launch or pivot because the leaders aren't aligned.
How We Work
The Audit
Private conversations with everyone involved to find the root cause of the problem.
The Resolution
Facilitated meetings to lower the temperature, address the issues, and get everyone back on the same page.
The System
Setting up clear roles and how you work together moving forward so the same problems don't come back.
Success Stories
Series B Protection
A co-founder was ready to quit during a major funding round. I helped the partners redefine their roles and expectations, allowing them to stay together and close the $15M round.
Acquisition Readiness
Internal legal threats were stalling a company sale. I facilitated high-stakes conflict resolution between co-founders by restructuring how they communicated and held each other accountable, clearing the path for a successful exit.
A Resource for Executive Coaches and HR
I handle short-term, high-intensity conflict. If you are coaching a CEO but the rest of the team is struggling to work together, I step in to fix the team dynamics so you can focus on your long-term work.
About Me
As a Certified Professional Coach accredited by the International Coaching Federation, I specialize in the high-stakes people problems that stall companies: co-founder disputes, leadership team dysfunction, and the trust breakdowns that quietly kill productivity and culture.
After a year-and-a-half hiatus for my family, I've returned to my practice with a sharper focus on startups navigating the pressure of 2026 — lean teams, rapid pivots, and investor scrutiny that leaves no room for unresolved conflict. I focus on the people problems that founders aren't trained to solve, but can't afford to ignore.
My approach is direct and I get to the root of what's broken by facilitating the hard conversations leaders have been avoiding, and building systems so the same problems don't resurface. I enjoy the thrill of mediating workplace conflicts — not because the work is easy, but because I know the cost of doing nothing. I salvage missions that are on the verge of imploding and turn that friction into velocity.
