How to thrive in your Private Equity career. Actionable ideas straight to your inbox

I’m JD, I help highly successful achievers level up their career in private equity, growth equity and private credit.

Like you, I grew up in a competitive family, went to Princeton and worked on Wall Street for 15 years (Goldman IBD, Millennium, Moore Cap). I get what’s at stake, and the stress you experience on a daily basis.

I‘ve spent last decade coaching Wall Street’s best and brightest: Partners, Investment Committees, rising Partners and Group Co-Heads and found that everyone is grappling with the same themes:

• How do I get more of what I want with the limited amount of time I have?

• And How do I cut through the noise of the day-to-day to focus on what actually matters?

I help my clients get to the root of what matters most, and reorient their time to the things that create personal enterprise value.

Drawing from 5000+ hours of 1x1 Executive Coaching with your best and brightest peers, I have dedicated this Substack to exploring the toolbox of nuanced skills, mindsets and self-reflection to help you thrive in your seat as a PE Partner. 

I’ll be in your inbox every other Wednesday with a timely insight but in the meantime, browse through my library of prior posts below to give yourself a new perspective. Feel free to reply to this email if you’d like me to address a certain topic or area of interest.

Cheers,
