Different brains, extraordinary results.

ADHD & AuDHD leaders need different coaching.

You need a coach who actually understands how your brain works, not one who acts like your brain is like everyone else’s.

That means identifying your strengths, working with your weaknesses, and addressing the shame that so often comes with having a different neurotype. It means helping you translate your insight into action, and supporting you in navigating systems that were never built with you in mind.

Executive coach for leaders like you.

Learn to build organizations that work with your brain.

I partner with entrepreneurs and executives with ADHD who've built success through rapid pattern recognition, crisis excellence, and systems thinking but now face resistance from boards, investors, or peers who don't understand why their leadership approach works.

Through strategic assessment and executive coaching, I help you:

  • Translate your rapid synthesis for stakeholders who process linearly

  • Design structures that leverage your cognitive strengths without twisting them to fit everyone else's playbook

  • Build execution systems that honor burst-work patterns and hyperfocus cycles while keeping accountability intact

  • Lead teams that thrive with your thinking style

My background

My background spans two decades in Fortune 500 companies (Genentech, Infineon), an MA in Organizational Psychology from Columbia, ICF PCC certification, and a first career as a research chemist.

This unusual combination means I bring both rigorous methodology and deep empathy to understanding how ADHD brains solve complex problems differently, and often more effectively, than conventional approaches.

  • “When I started my role as an Executive Director, I needed guidance and support from someone who would understand my challenges and concerns. My work with Kai has been invaluable and necessary to my growth and evolution as a leader. ”

    — Dorothy R. Santos, Executive Director, Processing Foundation

  • “When I left my corporate job, I didn't anticipate how much I relied on the structure someone else had built for me. Suddenly there was no project manager or regular schedule. I had plenty of ideas, but no idea on how to move them forward. Working with Kai helped me figure out how to build that structure myself, on my own terms.”
