I’m the Founder and CEO of Executive Presence, where we help leaders build trust, visibility, and influence through authentic executive thought leadership on LinkedIn.

In just over three years, we've bootstrapped past $3M ARR, partnered with more than 250 executives, and conducted more than 750 CEO interviews. When leaders show up consistently in their own voice, their entire company benefits.

Most executives already have a network that trusts them. They just lack a system that keeps them top of mind. My team and I help them articulate what they believe, stay relevant in moments that matter, and expand their influence to hire better, sell faster, raise capital, and shape their industry's narrative.

Our work is built around three principles:

• Authenticity: capture the leader’s real voice and worldview
• Efficiency: require as little as 90 minutes of their time each month
• Measurability: track progress weekly with clear KPIs and outcomes

I work with CEOs, founders, and senior executives at high-growth companies who want their leadership to be an asset that compounds.

My own path shapes how I think about leadership, communication, and influence:

• Officer aboard nuclear submarines, leading teams of more than 200 in high-stakes environments
• Stanford MBA and three-time founder
• Former CEO of StoryBox, funded by Eric Schmidt and used by over 1,000 brands
• Host of the 450-episode leadership and career podcast Beyond the Uniform

Every role taught me the same lesson: Executives are among a company’s most underutilized assets. When leaders communicate with clarity and consistency, they elevate culture, attract talent, deepen trust, and move their industries forward.

My work at Executive Presence is about helping leaders do exactly that - authentically, efficiently, and with measurable results.

CEO ◆ We turn leaders into thought leaders

We specialize in helping top-tier executives boost their visibility, activate their network, and position themselves as thought leaders via our premium, fully-managed LinkedIn service.

Our unique process involves ex-McKinsey, BCG, and Bain consultants conducting monthly hour-long interviews with our clients, and turning them into impactful daily LinkedIn posts to establish their unique voice and authority. 

We've helped over 100 CEOs become thought leaders. On average, our clients see a 500% bump in engagement in their first 30 days with us. Data is continuously analyzed to improve engagement and identify impactful messaging that you can use for conferences, podcasts, and internal communications.

The best company doesn't always win.

The best-known company does.

Critical business outcomes are decided before the facts are fully evaluated.

When a buyer is choosing between you and a competitor, they're not running a feature-by-feature analysis. They're asking: Do I trust this leader?

When a senior engineer is weighing two offers, they look up the CEO first. Is this someone I want to follow?

When an investor is evaluating your round, they're betting on you, not just your numbers. If you're invisible, you're a question mark.

While you're heads down doing great work in private, your competitors are building perception in public. And they're eating your lunch.

You don't need to become an influencer. 
You don't need to love the spotlight.

You need to show up consistently where your stakeholders already are, with a point of view that makes your leadership visible.

Because when decisions are being made, the leaders already in the conversation have an enormous advantage over those who aren't.

The market doesn't reward the best. It rewards the best perceived.

And if you're not willing to shape that perception, someone else will shape it for you - or worse, you won't have one at all.

CEO @ Executive Presence | Executive LinkedIn Strategy | Say Something Worth Reading

Every single year, while my team celebrated, I felt a quiet dread.

For three years straight, EP grew in revenue, headcount, and clients - something that’s abnormal for startups. I knew turbulence was coming. I just didn't know when. 

And I kept wondering whether my team would panic or lose faith in what we were building when it finally arrived.

This year, I finally got my answer.

2025 hit us hard. Sales slowed, we lost clients, and we lost employees. There were moments on Zoom calls where I could feel people wondering if the company was in trouble and whether they needed to be worried about their jobs.

We hit a lot of the checkboxes of the worst things that can happen at a company, and they all seemed to happen in the same year.

But somewhere around midyear, things started to turn. Sales picked up again. We had our most profitable quarter ever in Q4. And the team that stayed became stronger and more aligned than we'd ever been.

For four years, I carried this fear that my team hadn't been tested. But that fear is gone now, because everyone on this team has seen the hard stuff and chosen to keep building with me.

And now, I trust them more than I ever have.

You're already saying things worth posting on LinkedIn.

You're saying them on sales calls, in team meetings, in one-on-ones - you're just not capturing them.

Our long-term clients have figured this out. They show up to interviews with notes from the week - "I had a conversation on Tuesday I want to talk through" or "A prospect asked me something I've never thought about before."

In other words, they've developed the habit of noticing when they say something worth sharing - and you can build that habit too. 

Start by recording your next sales call and reading the transcript a few days later.

I'd bet you find at least one idea worth posting.

Why speaking unlocks ideas that writing buries Most executives I work with can talk about their expertise for an hour without breaking a sweat. Put th
