CEO Coaching with mr Joe Leech
You’ve built success, yet you know you are capable of more.
Perhaps you’re approaching a moment of truth; be that formulating a new strategy, a funding round, a period of rapid growth, reimagining your board or C-suite, an exit or taking the reins as a new CEO.
I help you thrive. If life is like a game of chutes and ladders (that’s snakes and ladders to us Brits); together we find the ladders and we get results.
I work with CEOs who are visionaries, who never settle for average, always striving to discover better ways to lead and grow their organisations. But there is a dark side; your constant drive can take its toll, those around you aren’t always as driven, your skillset can’t always punch through and that’s exhausting. It doesn’t have to be like that. Leadership can and will feel effortless. It’s time to transform.
I coach CEOs of start-ups, fast growth tech and Fortune / FTSE giants.
I don’t filter by company size. I filter by mindset.
How it works. We’ll bring your vision into sharp focus and plan your journey to get there. Coaching with me is not for the feint of heart. You are no average leader and I am no average coach. Powerful results will only come from the deep, powerful work we will do together.

About me
- Twenty years working for some of the world’s highest performing tech, FTSE100 and Fortune500 companies with $20b in revenue increase.
- From AI to deep tech to retail to fintech to multi-billion-global-giants. I bring the combined wisdom & experience of the many CEOs I have worked with. I meet you, the CEO, at your level.
- Worked with multiple start-ups from idea to MVP to seed funding, to launch, to series A, B and C to IPO and acquisition and I’ve worked with VCs along the way.
- Keynote speaker at leading international tech conferences as well as a recovering elementary school teacher. I can coach you on public speaking and presence.
- My own journey as a founder, raising a funding round and giving it back; all for the right reasons.
- It was a wake up call for me physically; I wasn’t looking after myself, emotionally; I wasn’t looking after my family and spiritually; it was time to redefine my measures of life success. All have become pillars of my coaching.
