Helping Founders & Solopreneurs Scale To Predictable $15K Months | “The Sales Psychologist™ | $25M+ Closed | Elegant Conversion™ Method

I help senior leaders turn decades of boardroom wins into six-figure advisory businesses--built for true freedom, fulfillment, and a life you actually want.

After leading $150M+ sales teams at Oracle, Workday, and HP, 
I realized success isn’t another promotion--or a packed calendar.

It’s owning your time, income, and where (and how) you live.

My clients aren't chasing "busy."
They want a business as bespoke as their achievements--and a lifestyle that feels as rich as the career they've built.

How I Help Leaders

→ Package hard-earned expertise into premium advisory offers ($10K–$30K+)
→ Create time, travel, and income flexibility--built around life, not work
→ Work with select, premium clients from anywhere in the world

What You’ll Leave Behind

✖ Burnout, busywork, endless meetings
✖ The corporate grind that drains your energy--and limits your options

What you gain:
💼 Six-figure deals, on your terms
🌍 Freedom -- of time, income, and where you live (whether that's a villa in Tuscany, a flight to Japan, or time with loved ones)
✨ A business and lifestyle that reflect success as you define it--and feel like you again

As an Italian-American dual citizen, I travel to Europe often and run my six-figure advisory practice from wherever feels inspiring—Italy, North Carolina, anywhere adventure calls.

I work with Directors, VPs, and CxOs who want more:
More income. More time. More living.

Why Me

→ Led $150M+ sales teams for global tech giants
→ Guided 400+ executives (Microsoft, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs) to autonomy and growth
→ Built my own six-figure advisory working between Italy and North Carolina
