Meet Jakob Franzen


Clarity under pressure. Presence without performance. Coaching that holds its own in any room.

With three decades of experience across biotech, software, healthcare, manufacturing, and nonprofit, I’ve led from the inside—P&L ownership, executive teams, and the kind of business pivots that don’t come with do-overs.

Today, I bring that same level of real-world, high-stakes experience into the coaching room.
I’m not here to optimize your calendar or swap mindset hacks. I help you cut through the noise, move with precision, and build leadership that actually fits your life now—not the one you had 10 years ago.

As a Master Certified Coach (MCC), I work with leaders at inflection points:
• Standing up after burnout.
• Reentering after loss.
• Navigating power, succession, or reinvention.

I bring business acumen, emotional fluency, and a dead-simple north star:
Decide clearly. Lead honestly. Move like it matters.

If that’s the kind of coaching you need, I’m in.
