Executive Coaching
I've Been in Your Chair, Faced Your Challenges, and Found the Way Through.
“IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST, GO ALONE, IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR, GO TOGETHER”
- AFRICAN PROVERB
“As a Founder, I needed someone to help support me to grow into the best CEO and leader of our company. Helaine intuitively understood not only the business and dynamics with investors, vendors, the team and even the board, but also my personal growth needs to step into the next phase of not only my leadership but also unlock the next level of success for the business.”
- Helya Mohammadian, Founder & CEO, Slick Chicks
Building, growing, leading, managing, communicating, showing up — The to-do lists are endless, as are the opportunities — but we all need help making the most of our precious minutes of the day/week/month, especially if we're high achievers.
Securing that next growth milestone, whether it's a fundraise, promotion, key hire or product-market fit; we all need support, and sometimes that needs to come from someone who's only job is to support YOUR goals.
I've been there: the lonely founder at the top, the executive striving for more, the business partner struggling with communication, the investor wanting better and more.
With almost twenty years of battle-tested experience in the start-up, executive and entrepreneurial trenches, I coach executives and founders using the strategies and learnings I gained firsthand.
My guidance comes from authentic experience building, scaling, and exiting a company—not theoretical frameworks. I help growth-stage leaders master strategic decision-making while developing the self-awareness and resilience essential for sustainable leadership.
Because taking care of the leader is taking care of the team, I create space for the personal work that transforms professional impact.
Whether you're expanding into new markets, building high-performing teams, or navigating critical inflection points, I empower you to empower yourself—then translate that strength to your organization.
My approach combines tactical business frameworks with the practical wisdom that only comes from having personally weathered every storm of the startup-to-scale journey.
