Executive coaching and a Vistage CEO peer group for Bay Area leaders. One-to-one coaching from someone who has sat in the operating seat, and a confidential advisory group of fellow CEOs.
Leading a company can feel like making the big calls alone. I help you separate what is important from what is merely urgent, test your thinking with people who have faced similar decisions, and leave with next steps you will be asked about the next time we meet.
The result is sharper decisions that show up in your business and in your life.
A confidential Vistage peer advisory group for Bay Area CEOs, founders, and presidents. These are peers who get it, and who learn your business over time.
We spend a full day together every month on specific business challenges, changes in the working environment, and what both ask of us personally. You also get a private one-to-one with me.
How the group works
Executive coaching for leaders who want a confidential thinking partner: someone who has sat in the operator's seat, will tell you the truth, and will hold you to what you decide.
We work through your long-term strategic questions and turn them into realistic action plans, grounded in how your business actually runs.

Everyone can use a coach. I have had many in my time. Andy is a thoughtful, direct, and highly trusted advisor. Our sessions consistently help me step back from the noise, clarify what matters most, and make cleaner tradeoffs across strategy, team, and time.
Tom HaleOur coaching sessions have helped me see where I'm the bottleneck, make decisions I'd been avoiding, and build systems that don't depend on me doing everything myself. He challenges me without making it feel like pressure, and that's rare.
Laura HallAndy has built a peer group that is both intellectually rigorous and emotionally honest, a rare combination. It's a space where I can step back from the day-to-day, and engage in strategic thinking with other CEOs and executive leaders.

I have made decisions like the one you are facing, with my own money and my own name on it.
I spent more than 30 years as a founder, executive, and investor, including helping scale RPX to $300M in revenue and through an IPO. Today I chair Vistage CE Group 8556 in San Francisco and coach CEOs one-to-one.
More about AndyI work with CEOs, founders, and senior leaders who want to make thoughtful decisions, build stronger teams, and lead with greater purpose. Some are scaling a business. Others are navigating change or preparing for what comes next.
What they share is a willingness to reflect, be challenged, and put what they learn into practice.
The next step is a short call about where you are, where you want to go, and whether the group, coaching, or neither is the right fit. No pitch, no pressure.
