Hi I'm Max
An executive coach and leadership strategist.
I support individuals feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in transition by holding a safe, non-judgmental space for reflection and self-discovery. Drawing from my experiences as a traveler, designer, and guide, I offer tools and practices for clarity, growth, self-awareness, and personal discovery.
About Me
With a deep commitment to helping high-performing leaders lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. I support professionals navigating complexity, transition, and responsibility—helping them grow intentionally and lead more authentically.
Alongside my role as CEO of a large, health-focused not-for-profit overseeing a nine-figure portfolio, I’ve coached leaders across healthcare, public service, and nonprofit sectors. While leading complex systems is fulfilling, coaching is where I feel most energized—working one-on-one with purpose-driven professionals who want to lead with greater intention.
I draw on over a decade of military service, senior executive experience, and board leadership to support leaders navigating real-world challenges. My approach blends strategy and self-awareness through a co-active coaching lens grounded in lived leadership.

The Inspiration Behind My Work
I’ve sat in the chair—leading through chaos, juggling competing accountabilities, and navigating both doubt and duty. Coaching became the tool I wish I had had earlier in my own leadership journey.
What inspires me now is the privilege of creating space for leaders to slow down, reflect, and grow with intention. I believe leadership isn’t a role—it’s a way of showing up. Helping others define and embody that for themselves is what drives me.
