"When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it...then you're going to mystify a lot of folks."
Bob Dylan

Consumer Healthcare Company
This founder/CEO sought an executive coach who understood the challenges facing an entrepreneur who needs to raise investor capital. He enlisted Alan to guide him as he launched a new product, built a team, and raised follow-on capital to scale the company. Under Alan's guidance, he began to embrace his leadership role instead of being consumed by day-to-day challenges.
