“Working with Sam is one of the best decisions I made for my business. As a solo founder, it can be difficult to find someone you can trust and be fully open with, especially on the harder days. As a tech CEO, it is even harder to find a coach who has a deep understanding of the tech and business worlds. It is in this backdrop, Sam has quickly become a valuable advisor and sounding board for me with his perfect blend of people skills and business knowledge.

When I first started working with Sam, my business had just 10 employees. But with Sam’s coaching and support, I’ve grown my team to 30 employees and expanded into another country.

What impresses me the most about Sam is his ability to adapt with me as the problems I face change. Sam has helped me develop and execute a strategy for keeping my company culture strong as I’ve rapidly grown a distributed team. Sam’s special sauce is his ability to unpack my gut feeling and mold into a guided strategy with a deeper understanding of myself and my business context.

I highly recommend Sam to any solo founder looking for an executive coach. He’s been a huge help so far, and I’m grateful that I can keep working with him as I continue to grow my business.”
