Hi, I'm Jeff.
I've led product, GM'd, and built teams at places like LinkedIn, Facebook, Headspace, and Included Health. I've worked through growth and messiness, built teams from scratch, and sat in rooms where the stakes were high and the answers weren't obvious. I've had wins, and I've learned from my own mistakes.
Today I work with senior product leaders and founders as an executive coach — bringing operator experience and intentional coaching training together to help you. Most coaches bring one or the other. I bring both.
How I think about coaching
The higher you go, the more change and complexity you see and the fewer people you can think out loud with.
The work is to partner — slow down, hear yourself think, and make calls that fit the builder and leader you want to be.
Coaching background
I've spent years coaching leaders as part of my operating work. Now I'm a Co-Active Coach pursuing credentialing with the International Coaching Federation. My coaching combines presence-based methods with the practicality of an operator.
I also write about my experiences in leadership, working toward clarity, improving decision-making, and operating better.
