Not Another Coach or Consultant
You Need a Partner Who’s Built It. Scaled It. Now Will Help You Do It

You're building something that matters

But you’re hitting growth plateaus, team constraints, product-market fit ambiguity,

who to trust expanding internationally.

You need someone who's been in the trenches. Not a theorist.

Not an armchair advisor. Not another slide-deck commentator.
Someone who has actually built companies, raised millions, led at board level, and knows how to turn your vision into reality.

Meet Paksy

Award-winning business-tech executive with two decades of global experience at the intersection of commercialization, (deep) tech, and cross-cultural leadership. Paksy has helped drive $200M+ in tech sales revenue, led multi-million-dollar funding rounds, co-built startups—one of which IPO-ed (at 6.9B USD), and secured award-winning public-private partnerships across the US, the EU, and Asia.
