CEO Coaching with mr Joe Leech
You’ve built success, now it’s time for the clarity you need for what comes next.
When you’re facing a strategic inflection point —
growth acceleration,
a funding round,
organisational redesign,
board or shareholder pressure,
or an exit —
the right decisions come from sharp thinking and intentional action.
I coach CEOs who carry real responsibility — to markets, boards, shareholders and the people who depend on them — helping you see what others don’t, make the hard calls with confidence, and transform pressure into progress.
I am a thinking partner for CEOs of fast growth tech and Fortune / FTSE giants.
I don’t filter by company size, market or industry. I filter by mindset.
How I work with CEOs
- We focus on the decision that will define the next phase of your business and build the judgement, structure and rhythm required to deal with the noise and pressure that sit between here and there.
- We surface what’s really going on; commercially, structurally, personally. Dealing with the root cause not the symptoms.
- The work is practical, intentional, rigorous and at the level CEOs operate.

“We’d spend hours debating, we never made decisions and when we did we struggled to act on them. We now are clear on what decisions we need to make, how to make them and most important of all who owns it and we follow up. Things get done.”
“We are growing 10% YoY in an extremely tough market where all our competitors have plateaued or are slowly falling”
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 series A through to IPO and acquisition. Coaching VCs and PE partners along the way.
- Keynote speaker at leading international conferences, 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.
- UK based working with CEOs in the Valley and East Coast over to Berlin and further east in Singapore.
- Deep background in Psychology; BSc in Neuroscience, Masters in Human Communication and I’ve written a book on psychology.
