Helping CEOs deliver powerful strategic messages that drive results.

What I do is all about people and story. People, because the focus of any communication should be people. Story, because nobody will ever make a decision based on numbers, rationale, or the next game changer alone. Things like this mean little unless a compelling story ties everything together.

Say, you’ll need to convey the potential of a new disruptive technology; board members, C-level execs, or leadership teams to buy into your vision; investors to back your next round of financing; turn a product roadmap into a big-picture story; or align stakeholders around shared interests or objectives, I’ll help you engage your audience on a whole new level to make that happen. From story development to the creation of high-impact presentations and key event coaching, I work with CEOs and their leadership teams to help them think in narrative and deliver strategic messages that drive results.

Easy? Never! Effective? You bet.

Karl A. Mohr, former investment banker and venture capital investor

As a GP in a small Silicon Valley VC firm, I worked with founders and CEOs of some of the most innovative and disruptive technology companies to emerge in the new digital age. In 2000, I decided to branch out on my own and co-founded Fast Ventures, a thought leader in venture finance, which eventually triggered the fast-venturing methodology.

In 2008, I founded Jackson Steiner, a small alternative asset and distressed real estate investment fund. When residential real estate markets bottomed in the US during the great economic and financial crisis, I orchestrated the rehabbing and repositioning of 100+ distressed single-family homes in South Florida before selling the remainder of our portfolio to one of the world’s largest alternative asset investors and closing the fund in 2014.

In 2015, I had to relocate to Europe due to family reasons. Since then, I have focused on helping founders and CEOs of venture-backed technology companies align around high-level narratives that drove success in their strategy-setting, product development, sales, and fundraising. Brands I’ve worked with include Anthem Gold, BMW Group, CoinPanel, Deutsche Bank, Neil Mandt (True Crime), OnePak, PlantLife, Sharekey, Spotify, Viddyoze, Wander.com, and many others.

Lead by story. Accelerate growth.
