Hi, I’m Christine

I’m a CEO coach, entrepreneur and surfer.

After building big businesses for over a decade, I am now helping early-stage and growth-stage founders run successful businesses that don’t kill them.

During the pandemic, I moved from Los Angeles to Hawaii to surf every day while living deep in nature. I run multiple businesses, surf and eat papaya every day.

I'm a Techstars NYC Founder, as well as a mentor for both Techstars and Cedar Sinai accelerators. My work has been featured in Forbes, Politico, Inc., The Hustle, CBS and NBC.

 

My Journey

In the last decade, I built three businesses to over $200M in revenue. I’ve experienced everything from bootstrapping a business to $25M to building a hyper-growth VC backed company to $28M ARR in under two years.

I grew my previous company at an incredibly fast rate while depleting myself and putting many of my personal relationships at risk. It was excruciating to accept that this was the only way to build a successful big business.

I started to question the boundaries of what it meant to be an entrepreneur.

I learned that if I wanted my business to scale, I needed to scale myself. To do so, I had to shift from working in my business to working on it. I now run three businesses while working ~20 hours a week.

The last two years have taught me how little time we have to spend with the people we love and on what energizes us most. I realized that my time building big companies was coming to an end. I fell deeply in love with writing and teaching, which has given me a sense of purpose I have not felt with any of the businesses I have built up to this point.

So I'm going all in helping as many entrepreneurs as possible to learn how to build a business with less effort.

What I’m Doing Now

  • Coaching 5 CEOs, along with writing this gives me a great sense of purpose and joy in my life.

  • Teaching The 20 Hour CEO, a live course for CEOs & Founders who want to scale their business with less effort.

  • Running Alice, an agency that helps top-notch CEOs scale by partnering them with high-end executive assistants.

  • Building a media company that focuses on the phase between starting a business and scaling it, specifically for founders building a big business with a tiny team.

  • Focusing 80% of my time on family, health, coaching, and writing.

  • Writing an essay on hormone re-balancing’s impact on our physical and mental health

  • Building a family home in Hawaii that will allow each of us to work, entertain and re-energize as often as we need to
