Coaching
My coaching services are built on 17 years in games, creative tech & start-ups.
I’m particularly interested in helping people with burnout, imposter syndrome and leadership struggles.
How it works
1:1 Coaching: We meet online, usually every 2–4 weeks. Each session runs for 60 minutes.
Packages: Most people work with me for 3–6 months to see real change.
Format: Conversations, practical frameworks, accountability and a healthy dose of encouragement.
Who I work with
Founders building their first studio or start-up (or their fifth).
Leaders, studio heads and execs in AAA, indie, mobile, VR or other gaming/interactive experiences.
Executives transitioning into the games industry from broader tech or other industries.
VCs, Investors and Incubators to support their portfolio founders.
