Executive Coaching — New Orleans
I Coach Performance.
The Business Follows.
We don't just fix your business — we optimize you. Discipline, mindset, systems, and AI-powered operational leverage to turn overwhelmed operators into high-performance CEOs.
About
Your Business Therapist
Most coaching is either too soft — mindset only, no operational teeth — or too rigid, with frameworks that don't flex to your reality. I sit in between.
I'm the person who will open your QuickBooks and pull your P&L in the same session where we talk about why you're not sleeping. I call it business therapy — because you can't separate the personal from the professional, and pretending otherwise wastes both our time.
15+ years of experience: Peace Corps, scaling a startup from 4 to 150+ employees with 300%+ revenue growth, building 8-figure sales organizations from scratch. I also build software — I don't just coach operations, I instrument them.
Approach
How I Help You Win
Constraint Identification
I find THE bottleneck in your business — usually you — and design around it. Theory of constraints applied to real operations.
Financial Clarity
I open your QuickBooks in our sessions. P&L analysis, job costing, real margins. Decisions from numbers, not feelings.
Scalable Systems
30/60/90 onboarding plans, escalation maps, SOPs. Every 'fire' becomes a repeatable process so the business runs without you.
AI-Powered Operations
I deploy AI tools daily and implement them for clients. Automated reporting, ad management, data workflows — saving clients $72K+ annually.
Sales Discipline
Close-rate tracking, pipeline management, proposal simplification. Never get off a call without the next call booked.
Strategic Delegation
Hiring the right people, designing roles with accountability, building the management layer that frees you for strategy and growth.
Results
What's Happening Right Now
These aren't old case studies. This is what my current clients are experiencing this quarter.
40% Margin Target
Rebuilt a 15-person agency's pricing model with job costing and time guardrails. They didn't know they were losing money on half their clients.
4-Month Founder Extraction
PR firm owner went from delivering all client work to launching a product and chasing enterprise deals. Her ops manager now runs the day-to-day.
3-Tier Org in 8 Weeks
Energy services owner designed and filled operations manager + field supervisor roles, with automated bonus systems and succession planning.
$72K AI Automation
Deployed AI-powered tools at a digital agency, cutting reporting and ad management labor. Not theoretical — implemented and saving money now.
Revenue Decline → Reversed
Diagnosed a 25% YoY revenue drop via P&L analysis. Implemented close-rate tracking and channel reallocation within two weeks.
Enterprise AI Roadmap
Built a phased AI implementation strategy for a Fortune 500 legal team, with KPIs that secured new headcount and a leadership role.
Industries
The Industries Change. The Pattern Doesn't.
Identify the constraint. Build the system. Remove the founder from the bottleneck.

From the Coaching Chair
Real conversations, real solutions.
Why Ignium
What Makes This Different
I open your books.
Most coaches talk about “financial clarity.” I pull up QuickBooks, run job costing, calculate actual margins, and make decisions based on real numbers.
I build and deploy AI tools.
I'm not recommending AI from a whitepaper. I use Claude, automated reporting, and data extraction workflows in my own practice and deploy them for clients.
I design your replacement.
Every engagement works toward making you unnecessary in the day-to-day. Org charts, onboarding plans, escalation maps, SOPs — the system that lets you lead instead of operate.
I stay in the ring with you.
Biweekly calls, between-session access, real-time support when things break. One client calls me his “business therapist.” I'll take it.
