Transformational Coaching FOR ENTREPRENEURS, EXECUTIVES, Purpose -Driven Individuals and Conscious Leaders 

I guide individuals, couples, families, founders, entrepreneurs and executive teams through transformational coaching, executive coaching and strategic life transitions to create greater clarity, alignment and meaningful impact.

Bridging personal growth with business transformation, my approach combines self-inquiry, immersive coaching and real-world strategy to support leadership transitions, business transitions and personal transformation, helping you lead, live and love with purpose.

Most people operate from patterns they never consciously chose. They live by scripts written by others. Through personal development coaching and life transition coaching, I help you reconnect with your true self and build a life, career and relationships that reflect your values, strengths and aspirations.

Whether you're navigating a leadership transition, business transition, family business succession, healing relationships or rediscovering your purpose, transformation begins within.

Barthélemy Helg, YPO Gold Zurich and CEO Europe

Roman is an extraordinary yet unconventional Forum moderator and expert resource. He stands out not only for his remarkable skills and attributes but also for the depth of his character. Gifted with sharp intelligence, profound empathy, and an unshakable sense of purpose, Roman consistently exceeds expectations. Impeccably prepared yet adaptable, he has mastered the art of balancing structure with spontaneity. Over the years, he has demonstrated a rare ability to evolve, continually refining his craft and staying ahead of the curve.

As a true Forum evangelist, Roman has served as a chapter Forum officer for years, mentoring and inspiring generations of Forum participants. His passion for the Forum experience runs deep, transforming it into a lifelong mission to empower others.

What sets Roman apart is his unique background. Unlike the typical psychologists or coaches who often fill the role of Forum resource, Roman is, at his core, a successful tech entrepreneur and astute businessman. He has built, scaled, and exited multiple ventures across North America and Europe. He intimately understands the rollercoaster journey of entrepreneurship and the isolation that often accompanies leadership. Roman isn’t just a resource—he’s one of us.

In many ways, Forum has been a transformative force in Roman’s life. This personal connection fuels his drive to share its life-changing power with others. For Roman, Forum is more than a tool—it’s a gift, and his mission is to pass it forward.

Adrian Schlund, The Alternative Board TAB and YPO Gold Zurich

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Roman through our joint YPO membership, where he consistently stands out as an exceptional resource for our forum activities.

As an experienced entrepreneur and successful CEO, Roman brings a wealth of experience and perspective to every discussion. His empathetic approach fosters a safe and productive environment, ensuring every member feels heard and included.

Roman has a remarkable ability to balance creating space for open dialogue with providing clear leadership when needed, which keeps the group focused and impactful. His insights on leadership and personal growth for executives are invaluable, and I’m pleased to see him offering his expertise beyond the YPO context.
