What got you here will not get you there.

Most Founder-CEOs hit a ceiling they cannot brute-force their way through.

Revenue stalls.
The team leans on them for every decision.
The business works, but only because they do.

I know this because I have lived it.

I have been the CEO. I have sat on boards. I have built and scaled businesses. And I now work with Founders & CEOs who are ready to stop being the bottleneck and start building a business that can run without them.

What I Do
I help Founder-CEOs build a $10M+ business that runs without them.

That means:
. Moving from owner-reliant to leader-led
. Building a leadership team that owns outcomes
. Creating clarity around strategy, priorities, and execution
. Growing revenue, profit, and enterprise value without burning out

This is not about working harder.
It is about building the right structure, rhythm, and team.

Why CEOs Work With Me
. I have been the CEO of five companies.
. I have served as a board chair and board director.
. I have coached hundreds of CEOs and leadership teams.

Clients value that I am direct, grounded, and practical.
I challenge assumptions, get to the root cause fast, and help leaders make better decisions sooner.

What Clients Say
“Jonathan gets straight to the root cause and challenges the thinking that is holding you back.”
“He helped me step out of day-to-day firefighting and build a leadership team that owns outcomes.”
“Within a year, our business was calmer, more profitable, and far less dependent on me.”

Who I Work With
. Founder-CEOs of private companies with:
. 10–50 staff
. $1M–$25M in revenue
. Big ambition and a desire to build something that lasts

If you want a business that grows without consuming you, we will get along well.

Beyond Coaching
I am also the host of the podcast CEO Stories of Scale, where I have interviewed 130+ CEOs about their real journey of growth, leadership, and scale.
