Hello my name is Ken Schroeder and I am the President and principal consultant at TechVenture Management. I have spent a career successfully building high-tech
companies (see below), and for the past few years helping other executives to be more successful in their careers. I am in the business of coaching a few select business
leaders who are running companies and are interested in dramatically upgrading their performance. My primary mission is to add significant value to the performance of my clients
and their companies. I am committed to working with smart people to work smarter and to help build successful businesses and to enjoy the process.
I work with business leaders who are interested in continuous learning and developing superior management skills. My clients are eager consumers of constant
feedback and perspective and they continually learn by integrating critical inputs from a variety of sources. They utilize constructive feedback productively.
I can help in that learning process. I can not only help assure more success for them and their organization, but make the entire demanding life of business leadership
more understandable and enjoyable. I’m both a coach and a sounding board for my clients. In sum, I strive to help them play at the top of their game.
If you are an investor in a company, with a business leader whom you think can benefit from a coach or a mentor, I may be just the right person to contact.
I welcome introductions to executives with whom I can build productive relationships that can yield the business results that you desire and your investment
requires. I welcome introductions to executives to build both business and personal success. I am dedicated to insuring the success of your investment and
helping executives to grow.
I look forward to hearing from prospective clients and exploring what we can accomplish together.
Sincerely,
Ken
