STOP BEING OVERLOOKED. START LEADING WITH IMPACT.
Join the LEAP Program and build the executive presence, strategic influence, and leadership clarity to get recognized and advance your career.
Most C-suite executives are technically excellent but lack the presence to be seen as visionary leaders. The LEAP Program changes that using my Executive Edge Method™.
PROBLEM
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
-
You're not getting recognized despite your contributions
-
Stuck managing tasks instead of leading strategically
-
Working 60+ hours but feeling invisible
-
Colleagues with less competence get promoted ahead of you
Your boss wants you "more strategic," but you can't see the path forward. When you speak in meetings, people check their phones. They wait for someone else to validate your ideas. You didn't climb to the C-suite to feel this way. The problem isn't your intelligence or work ethic. It's your executive presence. And executive presence can be learned, developed, and mastered. There's a better way....
WHY WORK WITH ME
-
I’m currently GM at a Blackstone portfolio company and spent years in the C-suite at Citi.
-
I coach from the arena, not the sidelines.
-
Professor at IESE Business School | 50+ global conferences | Real C-suite experience, not theory.
Unlike coaches who only ask questions, I provide practical solutions based on real C-suite experience. I'll push you hard when needed and support you when the pressure's on. No corporate BS. No cookie-cutter frameworks. Every solution is tailored to your situation. I also bring insights from marathon running, meditation, and Stoic philosophy-building sustainable high performance, not short-term wins that lead to burnout. The result? You don't just learn executive presence. You embody it.

''Peter is a brilliant coach… I really don't think I would have mastered the challenges I've faced these past few years… without Peter's coaching''
Peter is a brilliant coach. We have been working together for the past two years, and in that time he has helped me set clear goals, and given me the tools and encouragement I needed to achieve my goals. He is a great listener, truly cares and freely shares his wisdom with me. I really don't think I would have mastered the challenges I've faced these past few years as a CFO of a fast-growing international tech company – with all the joys and growth and headaches that come with the role – without Peter's coaching.

During our sessions, I gained profound insights into my strengths, areas for improvement, and strategies to overcome obstacles. Peter encouraged me to explore new perspectives with practical examples on how to strengthen my thinking areas and how to deal with my day-to-day challenges. Further, the coaching sessions with Peter were not only highly effective but also friendly and easy.

"Every coaching session has brought some extra boost to go ahead with that evolution."
I met Peter by coincidence in a Finance event. For some time I thought about the possibility to find a coach, and after listening to him in that conference, I felt that was the right moment and the right person I had been waiting for. Peter has been a very helpful, insightful coach who gave me pragmatic and concrete advice during my career change. The fact that he worked previously as a CFO, also gave me the confidence that he would understand what I was talking about and the challenges that I might face going forward. Every meeting that we have had, we started already one year ago, has been very valuable and has helped me not only to focus on my professional life but also on my personal development. I can really affirm that every coaching session has brought some extra boost to go ahead with that evolution.

ABOUT PETER...
I know what it's like to work hard but stay invisible
I've been exactly where you are.
Early in my career, I was technically excellent - recognized as an expert, working incredibly hard, getting patted on the back for my contributions. But I wasn't considered for the strategic, high-impact work. I wasn't in the room where the big decisions were made
I realized: being competent and hardworking isn't enough.
You need executive presence to be seen as a leader.
So I set out to master it. I studied how the best leaders communicated. I worked with coaches. I practiced relentlessly. And I transformed - not just my skills, but how people perceived me and responded to me.
That opened doors to C-suite roles at companies like Citi, and today as GM at a Blackstone portfolio company.
I became a coach because I know the frustration of working hard but being overlooked for strategic leadership. I know what it takes to shift from "the expert in the weeds" to "the visionary in the room
And I can show you exactly how to make that shift - with practical strategies, not theory.
I've been where you are.
And I know the way forward.
