Executive Presence

We help leaders become thought leaders on LinkedIn.

The people getting the most attention on LinkedIn aren’t always the ones with the deepest expertise - they’re the ones with the most time to “play the LinkedIn game.”

We fix that.

At Executive Presence, we work exclusively with senior leaders - more than 250 C-level executives so far, including five public company CEOs - to turn their insights into influence. We’ve bootstrapped from zero to 17 full-time employees and over $3M in annual recurring revenue in under three years by focusing on one thing: making the right people impossible to ignore.

How we do it:
1. Interview-driven process. No blank-page writing. Once a month, you meet with a former McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or Accenture consultant on Zoom. They ask sharp, on-point questions - the same way they would if you were sitting together on a panel in front of your target audience.

2. Your voice, high fidelity. We capture your actual phrasing and perspective, then our U.S.-based writing team turns it into LinkedIn content that feels like you - not a persona.

3. Content strategy. We map your goals (hiring, fundraising, M&A, brand building) to the audiences you need to reach, then build a strategy that blends industry thought leadership, credibility-building stories, and culture-shaping insights.

4. Data analysis. Every month, we track what’s resonating and refine your approach so your reach, engagement, and credibility keep growing.

You don’t need to prep. You don’t need to overthink it. You show up for an hour a month, we handle the rest.

When the right people hear from you consistently, everyone wins - you, your company, and your audience.

CEO ◆ LinkedIn thought leadership for CEOs

Entrepreneurs'​ Organization

I joined EO Denver because the most valuable part of my entrepreneurial journey has been surrounding myself with others who are in the trenches, building and leading companies. In my monthly forum, I connect with smart, driven entrepreneurs - not just for business insights, but for the camaraderie, perspective, and support that comes from shared experience.

The programming, events, and cohort model have been a highlight, and being part of this community was an easy decision. Some of my favorite people in the world are entrepreneurs, and EO has been an incredible way to learn from and contribute to that group.

Nuclear Submarine Officer

I am the CEO and Founder of Executive Presence, where we help companies build trust, visibility, and influence through authentic executive thought leadership on LinkedIn.

In less than three years, I have bootstrapped the company to over $3M in annual recurring revenue, interviewed more than 750 CEOs, and helped over 250 leaders strengthen their presence, credibility, and reach on LinkedIn.

At Executive Presence, we turn leaders into thought leaders. Many executives have networks of people who know and trust them, but they are not consistently top-of-mind. We help them remain relevant, articulate their expertise, and extend their influence—whether the goal is to hire, fundraise, build a brand, or create a category.

Our work is grounded in three principles:
• Authenticity: Capturing the leader’s true voice and perspective.
• Efficiency: Requiring as little as 90 minutes of their time per month.
• Measurability: Tracking progress with weekly KPIs and clear outcomes.

I work with CEOs, founders, and senior executives - often at high-growth companies with 50+ employees - who are defining their industries, scaling quickly, and hiring aggressively.

My path here has been shaped by diverse experiences:
• Officer aboard nuclear submarines, leading teams of more than 200 in high-stakes operations.
• Stanford MBA and serial entrepreneur, having founded and sold two companies.
• Host of Beyond the Uniform, the #1 iTunes podcast for military career transitions, with over 450 episodes.
• Former CEO of StoryBox, a marketing technology company funded by Google’s Eric Schmidt and used by more than 1,000 companies worldwide.

I believe that executives are among a company’s most underutilized assets, and when they show up as visible, credible thought leaders, they have an outsized impact on culture, recruiting, industry leadership, and legacy.

CEO ◆ We turn leaders into thought leaders

We specialize in helping top-tier executives boost their visibility, activate their network, and position themselves as thought leaders via our premium, fully-managed LinkedIn service.

Our unique process involves ex-McKinsey, BCG, and Bain consultants conducting monthly hour-long interviews with our clients, and turning them into impactful daily LinkedIn posts to establish their unique voice and authority. 

We've helped over 100 CEOs become thought leaders. On average, our clients see a 500% bump in engagement in their first 30 days with us. Data is continuously analyzed to improve engagement and identify impactful messaging that you can use for conferences, podcasts, and internal communications.
