After 12 years at Goldman Sachs and The Carlyle Group, I've spent the last 15+ years helping fund managers raise capital faster, Wall Street professionals earn what they're actually worth, and CEOs build firms that dominate their space.
As Seen On
Whether you're raising a fund, building a career, or scaling a firm - the difference between where you are and where you want to be is rarely about working harder. It's about how you work.
You have the track record. You have the thesis. But investor meetings keep ending with "let's stay in touch" instead of commitments. The pipeline is full of maybes. You need a method that turns meetings into closes - not a longer list of people to chase.
You're earning well. You've made it further than most. But you can feel there's another level - whether that's doubling your comp, making partner, or finally launching your own thing. Head-down hard work got you here. It won't get you there.
You've built something real. But growth has slowed, or your team isn't performing at the level you know is possible, or you can see the next stage but can't figure out how to get there. You need more than advice. You need someone who has been in your seat and knows the way forward.
Client Results
Who This Is For
The work is intensive. The relationship is close. I am selective because the method only works when both sides are fully committed.
PE, VC, hedge fund, real estate - if you are raising and the process feels slower than it should, I have a system that changes everything. From targeting investors to running the meeting to getting to yes.
You are already successful. But there is another level - doubling your comp, making partner, or building the confidence to launch your own firm. I have been in your seat and I know exactly what it takes.
You've built something real. Now you need to take it to the next level - whether that's scaling revenue, upgrading your team, or making the leap from good to dominant. I work alongside leaders who refuse to plateau.
Through BLK Group, we bring the method inside your organization. We train your people to sell better, lead better, and perform at a level your competitors can't match.
What Makes This Different
The typical coach teaches you strategy OR works on your mindset. I combine elite Wall Street deal experience with advanced performance psychology - NLP, behavioral conditioning, and mental training techniques used by the world's top performers. The result is a method that doesn't just tell you what to do, but fundamentally changes how you think, decide, and perform under pressure.
12 years at Goldman Sachs and The Carlyle Group. I did not study finance from the outside - I was an investment banker, a leveraged finance professional, and a distressed investor. I sat in the room where capital gets committed.
Decades of research and certification in NLP, hypnotherapy, behavioral conditioning, and my own method - Rapid Sustained Transformation. The same kind of mental edge that elite athletes use, applied to the highest-stakes business situations.
I don't send you a framework and disappear. I ride alongside you. Weekly calls. Real-time coaching before your biggest meetings. Line-by-line preparation. I stay until you win. That is the commitment.
Most advisors in this space came from coaching or consulting. I came from Goldman Sachs and The Carlyle Group. I was an investment banker. A leveraged finance professional. A distressed investor. I sat in the room where capital gets committed and I know what happens on both sides of that conversation.
When I left Wall Street in 2010, I spent years building a method that combines real deal experience with the advanced performance techniques I had been researching for over a decade. Today I am a many-times certified practitioner in NLP, hypnotherapy, and the creator of my own transformational method - Rapid Sustained Transformation.
I work alongside my clients in real time. I listen to their meetings. I prepare them line by line. I stay with them until they get the outcome. This is not advice from the sidelines. This is execution in the arena.
How It Works
Every engagement is different because every situation is different. But the structure is always the same: get clear, build the plan, and execute until it's done.
A direct conversation. Where are you. Where do you want to be. What is actually standing in the way. No intake forms. Just two people who understand the game, talking about it honestly.
I build a plan around your specific situation - whether you need to close your raise, multiply your earnings, scale your firm, or launch something new. There is no template. The strategy is yours.
Weekly calls. Real-time coaching before your biggest moments. I listen to your conversations and break them down line by line. I stay in the fight until you get the result. That is the commitment.
