"Justin is an exceptional leadership coach for founders, entrepreneurs, and searchers (especially partnered searchers/operators). Justin has been instrumental in aligning our strategy and strengthening our partnership at AppWrap. His insightful guidance and expertise have been key to getting us out of our own way and staying focused on truly the highest value items in our business. Justin really met us on our level of conversation and the stresses we were dealing with day-to-day. Justin is a joy to work with and really understands the life of a young founder / searcher."
John Rochefort, Co-CEO, AppWrap (Search Fund Acquisition)
"It is hard to overstate the positive impact that Justin has had on both our business and me personally. Working with Justin is one of the highest leverage things I do each month. I think all founders that aren't either working with a coach like Justin or actively seeking to find a coach like Justin are actively doing a disservice to themselves, their coworkers, and their business. If you are fortunate enough to get the chance to work with Justin, then it is a no brainer to say yes. I can't recommend Justin highly enough. "
Aidan Dewar, Co-Founder & CEO, Nourish
"Justin is the rare combination of empathetic and tactical, with the breadth and depth of experience to back it up. He has a calming energy, yet is not afraid of giving you his direct perspective. By acknowledging the emotional side, providing a perspective based on real, shared experiences as a repeat founder, and suggesting real, tactical next steps, Justin provides a full spectrum of support. He is also very organized, and intentional, so that every conversation I have with him is impactful. Justin empowers me to be a better leader, and I am grateful for every conversation that I have with Justin. "
Will Peng, Founder & CEO, Northstar Financial
"When you're a founder or executive, things get really tough at times. There's nothing more important than having other founders or operators in your corner who truly understand what you're going through. When those individuals are also great human beings, you've hit the jackpot. I couldn't recommend Justin more highly as a coach, thought partner, and advisor."
Alex Totterman, Founder & CEO, Cove
"Justin brings a great balanced perspective to coaching. He's a good listener when you just need to blow off some steam, he's a great strategist when you need help building the right "scaffolding" for your business, and he's a great coach when you need someone to push you and keep you accountable. I really enjoy working with Justin - and would highly recommend him to any CEO who wants help navigating the intimidating and treacherous path of company-building. ."
Marc Hostovsky, Founder & CEO, Minoan
"Justin is an incredible mentor and coach. He isn't afraid to say it like it is and provide constructive feedback. He gives his all to every coaching session and is giving with his time, resources, and connections – he wants to do whatever he can to ensure that you are successful. Furthermore, he genuinely cares about your well-being. His coaching has been extremely impactful to not only me personally but to my company. It's been a wonderful and eye-opening experience working with him!"
Gemma Aguiar, Founder & CEO, Design Like Whoa
"Justin is a visionary entrepreneur who also has demonstrated operational expertise. I remain impressed by his intellectual creativity which enables him to envision revenue streams and actually materialize them. Partnering with Justin to launch new channels and products was an absolute pleasure. He is an inclusive, people-centric leader, an outstanding communicator, and an extremely strong collaborator."
Athena Tsamoutalis, COO, quip
"Justin's insightful guidance and tailored strategies have been instrumental in supporting our growth as one of Canada's fastest growing companies."
Alkarim Shamsy, Founder & CEO, CANEI Recycled Materials
"Justin has all of the qualities you would look for in a leader; smart, dedicated and boundless energy. The real impact for me, however, came in seeing how Justin genuinely cared for every member of our team, both professionally and personally. Justin is an inspirational leader & visionary who has an uncanny ability to both challenge and nurture his teams to be the best they can be."
Erica Reisman, Vice President Business Development, HENRY The Dentist
"Not only is Justin the best definition of a CEO, but he was also my coach, mentor, and teammate. I have and will always be in awe and grateful for the skills Justin has taught me in developing my team and myself as a leader and marketer. Justin always offers a fresh take on a situation or project. Thinking outside of the box to drive success and always cheering you on. Even if you fell, Justin was there to pick you up with words of encouragement and a play-by-play game plan to hit the goal."
Stephanie Arteaga, Vice President Marketing, HENRY The Dentist
"Justin is a huge talent and a wonderful person and leader. He and Alex built something very special at HENRY The Dentist and they did one of the toughest things in business: graciously help their acquirer integrate what they built while adding lots of value to the new combined business. I learned a lot from Justin, I know he’ll be successful at whatever he does next, and I’ll value our friendship in the years ahead."
Ern Blackwelder, CEO, Onsite Dental
"I couldn’t ask for a more inspiring, positive leader! Working for and with Justin was an amazing experience. He has the ability to influence the people around him effortlessly, while also taking time to care for each person he comes in contact with. His knowledge expands well beyond just one area of expertise, making him an invaluable asset to any team."
