Coach S.K.
Exited Founder, VC/LP, Stanford Career + Life Coach, Harvard/Johns Hopkins Trained, Fulbright Scholar, Expert in Learning Science and Leadership Development.
S.K. is a high-performance coach to ambitious startup founders, executives, emerging leaders, investors, creatives, and athletes—basically, badasses like you. I became a coach to provide the kind of tailored support I wish I had access to when I was a founder.
I seek to be the trusted advisor that ambitious, driven leaders deserve. As a former founder (9-figure exit 2012) and active investor, investor/LP— I recognize the need for self-development that moves at the speed of your business.
My Coaching Philosophy: Balance deep reflection/insight with warm introductions, tactical advice, & research-backed strategies needed for sustainable behavior change. My goal is to evoke sustained transformation and help you achieve peak performance consistently.
I believe that whether you were born with a silver spoon or far behind the starting line in life—you deserve an experienced and skilled coach who has “been there and done that” to help you unlock your fullest potential as you do the thing.
My Ideal Clients: Ambitious and visionary humans who seek accelerated + deeply supported coaching that utilizes research-backed methods, integrated with practical and tactical advice from the perspective of a former founder, executive, and active investor. Individuals who want to grow as quickly and meaningfully as their business scales. A healthy dose of humor and celebration is a must.
