I help founders become the CEO their startup needs right now. A startup CEO is no ordinary job. Holding the vision, building the team, running the board, raising money, managing others and managing oneself, while things are changing all the time – these topics come up again and again in conversations with my clients. As a founder and CEO of Makers – Europe's first coding bootcamp – I learned leadership lessons on how to run and scale the business the hard way. After stepping down as Makers’ CEO, I became a founder coach, helping others achieve transformational growth. “Whatever personal growth I may have found in recent months, I attribute to Evgeny. Time with Evgeny feels like an open conversation with your soon to be wiser self. I am one of the lucky few to have Evgeny on my team.” Ben Henley-Smith, CEO of Cord.co "Having Evgeny as a coach was a real game-changer for me. Every two weeks, I looked forward to having an external voice to speak to and it was even better he could empathize with being an entrepreneur and going through the phase of scaling up." Timothy Armoo, CEO of Fanbytes "If you’re a CEO or a founder and you need someone to support you on your journey, Evgeny has the empathy and he can also challenge your perspectives. I'm so grateful for his support." Kate Pljaskovova, CEO of FairHQ "Working with Evgeny has been a transformative experience. His approach is a combination valuable insights stemming from his time as CEO, fine-tuned listening skills, and putting your human needs first. Through gentle inquiry, Evgeny has helped me reach insights I could not have reached myself. The value of coaching work is hard to quantify, but I can't imagine doing what I do without his support. For anyone struggling with rapid growth, Evgeny is the best antidote" Maciek Piskorz, CEO of Apollo Scooters
