Operator → Modern Founder | I help Directors & VPs extract their “invisible genius” into a premium advisory business | Zero to validated in 10 weeks | Ex-Oracle, Workday, HP | 115+ Clients served

I help Corporate Directors & VPs launch six-figure advisory businesses alongside their 9-5 without alerting HR or burning out.

On paper, you’ve won.

You have the Director or VP title. You have the stock options. You have the respect of your peers.

But let’s be honest about the cost.

You're trading your life for a paycheck. 
You're answering emails at dinner. 
You're squeezing your "real life" into two days a weekend.

You're rich in money, but you're poor in time.

I know this because I lived it.

I spent 25 years leading $150M+ sales teams for Oracle and HP. 
I had the $100K bonuses and the "perfect" career.

But I realized I didn't own my success. I rented it.

So I left. 

I didn't retire. I just changed the business model. 

I stopped selling my time to a corporation and started selling my wisdom to the market.

Now, I travel extensively, spend time with my family, and work on my terms. 

And I help high-performing leaders do exactly the same.

Your experience is an asset--but right now, you are selling it at a discount.

I help you install the Modern Founder Method™ - a 10-week operating system designed to take you from overworked operator to validated founder. 

We build your new chapter on three pillars: 

🛠 Pillar 1: Capacity Engineering 
Reclaim 25–30% of your week using the "CEO Operating System." 
We stop the leaks so you can work on your future, not just in your current role. 

💎 Pillar 2: Invisible Genius Extraction
We pull the IP out of your head that you’ve normalized for 20 years. 
We package your worldview and "Edge Advantage" into a Category-of-One premium advisory offer with a clear ROI. 

🚀 Pillar 3: The Authority Operating System 
Install a repeatable 90-minute daily routine. You’ll learn "Safe Signaling" to build a presence and drive high-ticket leads without raising red flags at your current job. 

You don't need to start over. You just need to package what you already know. 

The Track Record:

Ex-SaaS Sales Director (Oracle, HP, Workday) 
Italian-American dual citizen (Living the lifestyle I teach)
115+ Founders guided to freedom

The most powerful pivot in your career can feel like failure at first.

Because you’ve been trained to measure progress one way:

Title up.
Money up.
Responsibility up.

Image credits go to 𝗔𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗴. 

And when those boxes are checked, 
your brain assumes you should feel satisfied.

But high performers run into a weird moment.

Everything looks good.
And something still feels off.

Not because you’re ungrateful.

Because you’ve been collecting wins without checking alignment.

New title. Quick high.
Promotion. Quick high.
Big deal. Quick high.

And then one day, the highs stop hitting the same.

So you do what successful people do.

You push harder.

And that’s when the spiral starts:

You start calling your own success “not enough.”
You feel behind even while you’re ahead.
You wonder what’s wrong with you.

Nothing’s wrong with you.

Your external success just outpaced your internal truth.

A pivot isn’t a failure.

It’s what happens when a smart person finally admits:
“This path isn’t mine anymore.”

Here’s the actual pivot cycle I see in senior leaders:

You hit the “why do I feel like this?” moment
↓
You stop pretending it’s fine
↓
You identify what you actually want now
↓
You rebuild your definition of success
↓
You adjust your direction
↓
You move forward with clarity, not performance

If this is you, I’m hosting a free interactive workshop to help you identify the gap.

Are you chasing your goals.
Or someone else’s definition of success?

Let's get you out of your office chair and into a love relationship with food so you can put on your favourite outfit that you never thought you'd wear again and end dieting forever. Let me show you how!

Most high-performing leaders don’t fail because of lack of ambition

They fail because they’ve never been taught how to sustain it

I work with elite business leaders, C-suite execs, and high-stakes professionals who are crushing it in the boardroom but leaking performance behind the scenes

Foggy brain?
Crashing energy?
Slow decision-making under pressure?

That’s not a productivity problem — that’s a nervous system problem

And I’m not your average performance coach

Former-professional athlete turned behaviour change specialist, I help high-achievers build their personal performance operating system so they can:

🧠 Think sharper
⚡️ Execute faster
💥 Recover like a weapon
📈 Lead with unshakable clarity — without burnout

Forget cookie-cutter biohacking, surface-level motivation, and “try harder” coaching

This is nervous system-first, behaviourally engineered, business-ROI-driven optimisation

I’m not here to throw tips at you
I’m here to make sure you never leak performance again

So, if you’ve got the strategy, the team, and the ambition

but you know your energy, mindset, or stress regulation is holding you back from that next level…

Let’s build your system
Let’s create your unfair advantage
Let’s make 100% your new standard

I ensure elite business leaders rebuild the one system you’ve ignored for too long…

Your nervous system

Because until your body is regulated, your performance will always run with the brakes on

This isn’t coaching

This is your competitive advantage installed

⚽️FOOTBALL CONTACTS



I’m looking to connect with academy contacts and football clubs who would be open to arranging a small number of development-focused friendly games

U6
U7
U8 - Two teams 
U9

At PPC, we run an Elite Centre working with players who are bridging the gap between grassroots football and academy environments

We’re keen to provide the right game experiences to complement their training

We’re specifically interested in:

Well-matched academy or academy-linked sides

Purposeful fixtures (development-led, not results-driven)

Building ongoing relationships rather than one-offs

If you work within an academy setup or know the right person to speak to at a club, I’d really appreciate a connection or a message

Always happy to share more detail and explore whether there’s a good fit on both sides

Thanks in advance

Peak Performance Coach For Elite Founders & Execs who can’t afford burnout | Nervous System Specialist | Ex-Pro Athlete | Your unfair advantage isn’t hustle it’s your nervous system. I rewire it for 1% performance
