I led two highly successful, emerging growth companies as CEO. I also overcame tremendous personal and professional adversity to achieve that success. Meaning, I have an acute understanding of both how to navigate the challenges you face as CEO—and how to forge a path to achievement no matter the odds.
As your CEO advisor, I’ll help you find clarity, identify possibility, and manage complexity in a way that’s sustainable—and that drives your achievement at work, at home, and within your community.

“Jay has guided me through a difficult transition in my business with steady pluck, while constantly reminding me of the importance of spiritual grounding and balance.
His personal story from the depths of despair to Fortune 500 boardrooms not only inspires us but reminds us that no matter what seemingly unforgivably misstep we’ve made in our lives, it can make you stronger.”
