FAQs
What makes you and your executive coaching unique?
Unlike generalist coaches, we bring deep industry experience in investment banking. Your leaders won’t waste time explaining the culture, expectations, or technical demands—we already understand them. Our approach is also highly practical and results-driven—not theoretical or generic.
Do you only work with front office finance professionals?
Anyone in a role that touches the capital markets in some way is a great fit for us. This includes corporate partners, back office, and middle office. If you are a hard-driving professional working under intense demands, then we will understand each other.
What’s your coaching style?
Direct, efficient, and focused on measurable impact. Our approach is grounded in real business challenges, ensuring that leaders see immediate, tangible improvements in execution, decision-making, and team leadership.
What if our professionals are already excelling?
The highest performers know that continuous refinement at the margins leads to differentiated career trajectories. Coaching is about clarifying goals, addressing barriers, optimizing strengths, and preparing leaders for bigger opportunities.
Do you offer standardized coaching programs?
Yes, we offer signature programs [hyperlink] that can be replicated across groups of professionals. However, our coaching is always bespoke and tailored to each individual leader’s role, firm, and development objectives.
Can you support larger coaching initiatives?
Yes. For firms requiring multiple coaches, I partner with trusted industry-specific executive coaches who can create scale while maintaining the highest quality. Please visit my Partners page for more information.
