Leadership & C-suite coaching
Confidential, one-to-one coaching for CEOs and senior executives who want to strengthen their executive presence, align their teams and earn the trust of their board, especially at the moments that define a tenure.
Focus areas
Senior leaders are measured by how others experience them, and by the story that gets repeated when they're not in the room. We work across all three levels, because a gap in one shows up in the others.
Lead yourself
The self-awareness, mindset and composure that drive your decisions and how you show up when the stakes are high.
Lead your team
A leadership team that shares one direction, owns its decisions and holds each other accountable.
Lead your stakeholders
How the board, investors and the market read your strategy, and whether they trust you to deliver it.
Engagements
Every engagement starts with a confidential conversation and is shaped around your situation, not a fixed curriculum.
A trusted, confidential thinking partner for the decisions you can't take to your team. Regular sessions, with support between them when it matters.
For CEOs, founders and C-suite leaders
A structured start in a new seat: reading the organization, setting your agenda, building credibility early, and avoiding the common derailers.
For newly appointed or promoted executives
Turns a group of strong individual leaders into a team that tells one story, makes decisions together and holds each other to them.
For CEOs and their leadership teams
Preparation for the moments that set your reputation: board meetings, investor updates, all-hands and difficult announcements, with a message that lands and a story people remember.
For executives facing a high-stakes moment
How it works
Clear structure, measurable progress, and complete confidentiality throughout.

About
Aun has spent twenty years inside technology companies, and the lesson he keeps relearning is simple: organizations rarely struggle because of the technology. They struggle when leaders can't get the room to feel what they see.
He began his career untangling Linux servers. Today he is Chief Operating Officer of Stella Technology, a healthcare technology company, where he rose over nine years from System Administrator to Team Lead, Director of Operations and COO. He partners with the CEO and board on strategy and growth, and leads engineering, cybersecurity, cloud, AI and people operations in a highly regulated industry.
That is the perspective he brings to coaching: not theory from the sidelines, but the view of a sitting executive who knows what it takes to scale a team, earn a board's confidence and carry the weight of the role. He works with leaders who are brilliant at what they do but feel unheard, helping them find their voice, build executive presence and lead teams that want to follow, not just have to.
Aun is a three-time TEDx speaker and was named by Business Today Magazine among the top public speakers making a global impact. He is a Marshall Goldsmith Certified Coach and a Palouse Certified Mindfulness Coach, and holds an MS in Network Systems.
