You are read in a tenth of a second. Make sure they read you right.


You don’t bet on companies. You bet on people.

Every decision that matters comes down to a person, and to what that person looks like at the moment the decision is made. The company gets a model. The asset gets an appraisal. The person gets a gut feeling. I measure the person. Then I help you close the gap between the one you present and the one you are, at your best.

Who this is for

The moments when someone is about to bet on you.

A founder walking into a raise. A chief executive about to present to investors. An executive up for the next job, in a room where everyone has the same degree. A leadership team about to find out what it is made of. And the people who place those bets: the investor, the banker, the board, the coach.

In my own words

I read people for a living. Then I read myself.

I was three people. The self I claimed, the self other people saw and the self I actually lived.

The distance between them was the thing quietly costing me the most.

So I built an instrument.

The whole note, and the book

Tell me what you are trying to fix.

A sentence is enough. I read it, and if I can help, I reply within a day with a time.
