THE BOTTLENECK ISN'T THE MARKET. IT'S HOW YOU'RE DECIDING.
You’ve built something successful, but growth has slowed. Decisions feel heavier. The team’s energy has shifted. You can sense the drag, but you can't pinpoint the friction.
THE REALITY OF THE $10M PLATEAU
After two decades leading global brands, I’ve learned one undeniable truth: What got you to $10M will break you at $50M.
The business has outgrown the "Founder Mode" habits that built it. When clarity fades at this stage, it’s rarely a strategy problem. It is a Decision Architecture problem.
MY ROLE As your Strategic Counsel, I don't just fix operations. I fix the lens you lead through.
-
Identify where your leadership style no longer matches your scale.
-
Rebuild the clarity needed for your team to execute without you.
-
Restore the conviction behind your choices.
Step back. Fix the lens. Move forward.

CHAOS IS NOT A GROWTH STRATEGY.
The Pivotal Protocol™ is the 3-phase framework I use to help founders transition from "Founder Mode" to "CEO Mode." It identifies the connected blind spots stalling your growth and installs the Decision Architecture needed to scale past $10M without the noise.
Three Core Phases:
1. The Diagnostic Audit
We strip away the operational noise to identify the one leverage point that will release the most tension in the business.
2. The Decision Architecture
We realign your leadership team and internal processes so high-stakes decisions are made accurately without your constant presence.
3. Strategic Momentum
We establish the governance rhythm that keeps the business moving forward, ensuring you remain the Visionary, not the Firefighter.
PERSPECTIVE IS THE ONE THING YOU CAN'T DELEGATE.
When you are carrying the vision and the P&L, your field of vision naturally narrows. The board demands performance, and the team demands stability. You are trapped in the "Echo Chamber" of your own making, too close to the fire to see why the smoke isn't clearing.
I don't offer generic coaching because you don't have generic problems. With 25 years of experience leading global brands and 9-figure business units, I bring Pattern Recognition to your unique challenges. I know the difference between a market problem and a leadership blind spot.
My work gives founders the unbiased truth they can't get from their payroll. We break the isolation, identify the specific blocks in your focus, and restore the conviction you need to lead your company to its next level.

THE MANUAL FOR WHEN SUCCESS STOPS FEELING LIKE SUCCESS.
Whose Ladder Is This? is the playbook for the founder who has reached the top, only to realize they feel trapped by the business they built.
Drawing on decades of building billion-dollar brands, Kevin deconstructs the "Founder's Trap" - that moment when achievement no longer aligns with your identity. This isn't just a memoir; it's a strategic guide to dismantling the "shoulds," redefining your leadership, and building a business that fuels your life instead of consuming it.
