Meet Jacques
I'm on a mission to help others live their boldest dream.
My journey started at a crossroads. After graduating from Harvard Law School at 24, I embarked on a successful corporate career – first as a Mergers & Acquisitions associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flow in New York City, where I advised on deals totaling $50B+.
Then I made a hard pivot to startups – initially working as in-house counsel, then as co-founder of DUOS, a digital health startup that has raised $29M to assist older adults and their caregivers.
Yet, something felt off. Despite external success, I wasn’t aligned with my true purpose. I was working at some insanely great organizations with awesome people, and yet I didn’t feel 100% passionate about my work. I was developing skill after skill and yet – my spidey senses told me something “more” was out there.
Then life threw a curveball. My mom became seriously ill, and the stress hit me hard. She was suffering from the effects of a rare blood cancer, and as the only child of a single parent, being the sole caregiver took a toll on my physical and mental health. I experienced a complete rock bottom. My darkest moment? My partner found me sobbing on my Peloton…at 6am. Uncontrollably sobbing.
I knew something had to change. It was during that difficult time, I discovered Human Design.
Human Design was an absolute revelation. It helped me understand my unique strengths, my energy patterns, and how I was designed to make decisions. For the first time, I felt truly seen and understood. For example, as a 4/6 Splenic Projector, reading that it was natural for me to have inconsistent energy and receive intuitive hits from the universe was absolutely liberating.
With this newfound self-knowledge, I made a bold decision to re-architect my life and bet on myself.
I’ve been trained by the best. First I got certified to give Human Design readings by an international leader in the space, then I got certified in Executive Coaching by Steve Jobs’ ex-coach.
In time, I transitioned to an advisor role at the startup I co-founded and dove into full-time coaching. Much to my mother’s disdain – she couldn’t understand not having a stable full time job. But I was living boldly and not looking back!
Now, I’m passionate about guiding others towards their own transformational journeys. My coaching approach weaves together the wisdom of Human Design with traditional Executive Coaching and my diverse range of corporate and startup experience.
My guiding principle is that coaching should be informative AND actionable. I meet clients “where they’re at” and develop individualized, tailored plans to meet their needs.
Whether you’re a seasoned executive, a founder seeking clarity, or a team looking to optimize dynamics, I offer a roadmap for self-discovery, purpose, and success that’s entirely tailored to you.
Leaning into your design and what makes you special is what unlocks your fullest potential.
Allow me to serve as your guide.
With a unique blend of corporate, startup, and Human Design knowledge, I'm here to guide you on a personalized journey, transforming theoretical concepts into tangible results.
