I believe founders are heroes.
You’re building the future I want to live in.
You’re our planet’s problem solvers.
My role is to help you do it.
Dear Founders,
Thank you for doing what you do.
I founded my first company in 2011. I was the proud and naive Co-Founder and COO of MEI New York, a fashion startup which empowered professional women with confidence using workwear.
I learned a lot during those two years:
​
-
The importance of shipping
-
How to alpha, beta, and launch
-
How to have difficult conversations
-
How to serve your customer
-
And frankly, that I don’t have what it takes to grind through the daily toils of entrepreneurship.
​
But that wasn't the reason I was there. Entrepreneurship wasn't my destination. It was my rite of passage.
Because here's the one thing I learned, that changed my life:
​
When things got hard,
the thing that motivated me day in and day out --
what mattered to me most --
was the love of making my co-founder’s dreams come true.
I didn't know what to do with this realization at the time, but it's become clear in my coaching practice now. Coaching is my raison d'être. I coach from a place of pure love.
If my 15+ years of launching & scaling first-of-kind products, growing teams and crafting culture, surviving and thriving after burn out, and dedication to a lifelong love affair with learning can be of service to you, I hope we get the chance to talk.
I hope I get the chance to help you make your dreams come true.
​
With an enthusiastic salute,
​
Amy
