Supporting a young CEO through rapid scale
Challenge
A young, high-potential CEO had been entrusted with leading a fast-growing, investor-backed agency. He had excellent instincts and a talented leadership team, but the pace of growth and complexity of decisions meant he needed a safe, experienced space to reflect. Without that, he risked overthinking, decision fatigue, and burnout.
Andy’s Intervention
Andy worked with the CEO in a structured weekly rhythm – reviewing recorded reflections and voice notes from the week to guide deep, focused conversations. He acted as a sounding board, challenger, and advisor – helping the CEO build clarity, confidence, and perspective at a pivotal time. Andy also helped the CEO separate instinct from emotion, and identify the right moves faster.
Impact
The CEO led the business into a successful market process and transitioned into a major leadership role within the acquiring group. The business scaled with strength and stability – and the founder grew into a confident, composed leader under pressure, with a clear vision and toolkit for the next chapter.
