Founder and operator, turned executive coach. I was the first Chief of Staff and COO to Matt Mochary, coach to the CEOs at OpenAI, Scale AI, Flexport, Coinbase, Eight Sleep, Reddit, and more. My operational write-ups are featured in the Mochary Method Curriculum as key resources for every founder ready to scale their company, and used by fast-scaling companies like OpenAI, Coinbase, Vendr, and many more.
I work with what I call 1% Leaders. When we work together, you stop flying blind. Every problem you bring to the table, I pattern-match against decisions I’ve seen decacorn companies make behind closed doors—so you avoid the mistakes they’ve already made. If you’ve ever wished there was a Stack Overflow for scaling company challenges, it exists. It lives in my brain.
Not only will you have the information to make smart decisions, but I’ll also help you understand the psychology behind everyone you work with. Whether it's your leadership team, customers, or board, you’ll become a master communicator, able to bring people into your corner and win.
But don’t take my word for it - take theirs. Here are just a few of the things founders and leaders have said about what it’s like working with me:
“Regina is the best operator in the entire world, and she’s a machine. She has the greatest bias towards action I have ever seen. And she is an excellent coach - founders love working with her so much, they volunteer to give her 1% of their company with the value she generates for them. I highly recommend her work.”
“Regina transformed my ideas into an actionable plan. She quickly grasps every task, skipping the Kumbaya fluff while still making me feel fully supported. Our chemistry was great, and I always leave with a clear plan—not a long to-do list—to help us achieve our goals.”
“Regina’s coaching is exceptional. She asks the hard questions with compassion and listens intently. She is my first call whenever I need support in navigating challenging interpersonal conflict and difficult business decisions. Founders and executives will be better off partnering with her.”
“Thank you thank you! Regina, I've worked with a number of executive coaches before, and this was the best experience I've had. You efficiently manage letting me vent with a relentless focus on forward progress and action, while sharing relevant personal anecdotes to draw out insights. I walked away from an hour with you thoroughly pumped up and focused.”
“Regina has been one of the most influential voices in my life over the past year. She has pushed me to overcome so much fear and self-doubt. When I come to her with a problem, we have an action plan in less than an hour. I have been able to have tough conversations and make big decisions like my book launch with her support and guidance. I am a completely different person (and a much better founder) thanks to her.”
“I've known Regina for over half a decade. Working with her is like finding the missing puzzle piece you didn't know you needed. Regina brings both clarity and fire, transforming leadership from running a company to truly leading it. Her ability to pinpoint challenges and unlock breakthroughs is unreal, taking founders from reactive to thriving. I wish I'd had Regina while building my last company. If you're serious about scaling yourself and your company, working with her is a no-brainer.”
“Regina keeps me accountable and challenges my assumptions. She calls me out when I'm not being honest with myself. She's committed to real, meaningful growth, pushing me to reflect on my core beliefs and align my actions with my values. Regina tackles hard truths head-on. Her understanding of people extends to company psychology - from fundraising to hiring and team management. Regina's insights go beyond just people skills. She's helped me craft compelling narratives for investors and refine my company's internal messaging. If you want to be challenged and grow, Regina will be your fiercest advocate and toughest critic. That's exactly what a founder needs.”
"I originally met Regina while looking for vetted coaches for my portfolio founders/CEOs, but soon found myself regularly soliciting her counsel on different topics. Before I knew it, it organically evolved into a formal coaching relationship. Her ikigai really is helping others find their ikigai. Regina is extremely adept at coaching people on how to identify what matters to them and make decisions accordingly. Highly recommend her to any Founder/CEOs."
“Regina exemplifies Radical Candor, combining deep personal care with direct, transformative feedback. Her genuine interest in my well-being creates a safe space for growth. Drawing from her success as a profitable company founder and extensive coaching experience with high-caliber entrepreneurs, she adeptly identifies patterns and blind spots, often anticipating my needs with empathy and humility.”
“Regina is like a superhero for start-up executives. She parachuted into a major leadership crisis at our company, immediately diagnosed the points of friction between our founders, and crafted a plan for resolving our interpersonal challenges. She has remarkable pattern recognition from her own professional background and a real talent for bringing unspoken root cause issues to the surface.”

This is the moment when your foundation will either make or break your company.
Together, we will work on the fundamental building blocks of relentlessly tunnel-visioning towards Product-Market Fit, hiring the right people and firing the wrong ones fast, and setting up scaffolding for “good-enough” structure where you can still move fast without breaking too many things
You've gotten insane traction, your customers love you, and you’re growing crazy fast. It’s time for your 1 → 100 partner.
We’ll work on how you can eliminate the silos of information inside and between your leadership teams and across departments, manage your investors and board, and learn how to build your next products while still growing the existing one to create your moat.
At every stage of company building, your team will make or break your company. The best founders leverage offsites to build better relationships with their leadership teams and reach crystal-clear alignment, and they recognize that conflict resolutions must happen frequently to quash any drama in the leadership team.
To do this, you need an expert in human emotion and psyche to come in and help with facilitation. This is how we work together.
I take on a small number of new clients each month and frequently have a waiting list. To see if we’re a good fit, please get in touch and I’ll reach out with next steps.
