About Claude

Building a Thriving Business is Not Easy, But You don’t Have to Do It Alone

Most entrepreneurs love the thrill of creation but don’t expect the pressure, the constant decision-making, and the endless tasks that can leave you overwhelmed and frozen. I get it. Twice in my career, I burned out—first after a decade directing youth programs, then over a decade as a founding director. I learned the hard way not to do it alone. I learned that success without balance isn’t success at all. Now, I help business owners like you break through roadblocks, gain clarity, and build a business that works for you—not the other way around.

Are You Hungry For Change?

My turning point came when I trained to be a coach. I had burned out as a Founding Managing Director and found myself in a government job that drained the life out of me. I felt like a total failure. I knew this wasn’t where I wanted to be. I was hungry for change.

Today, I’m passionate about helping business professionals navigate their own challenges and build a foundation for lasting success. Like the small business owner I worked with who transformed their struggling operations into a thriving enterprise—by uncovering their true drivers and creating a focused plan. Seeing those kinds of breakthroughs fuels my passion every day.

Through The Business Builder Method©, I help my clients:

✔️ Uncover what truly drives them

✔️ Align their values with their business goals

✔️ Take focused steps to achieve measurable progress

Whether you’re scaling your business, overcoming roadblocks, or simply trying to find balance, I’m here to help you thrive.

I’ve worked with small business owners, CEOs, executives, health professionals, and entrepreneurs. My coaching is tailored to your needs—combining structure with flexibility to address your unique challenges while building a clear path forward. Find out more about my professional background on LinkedIn.

Clients describe my coaching as low-key, chill, empathetic—no rah-rah—yet deep, insightful, and impactful. I challenge where it’s needed because I won’t let you get away with excuses.

I’ve even fired clients who didn’t do the work—no refund! But for those who commit, I don’t put a limit on the sessions you need. While you’re on my program, I’m there for you one-on-one—on the phone, via email, and by text—helping you process, decide, and move forward.

A Bit About Me

I’m a lifelong learner, a reader, and a foodie who loves grilling over charcoal (asados). I’m also a jazz enthusiast who enjoys playing piano and an avid traveler who loves exploring the world with my family.

Born in Argentina, I’ve called Australia home for over 40 years. My wife of more than three decades is my greatest supporter and adventure partner—we’ve shared countless travels, amazing food, and laughs together. Our adult son, the pride of our lives, inspires me daily with his own journey and passion for growth.
