Hi, my name is David Noël and I am an executive & leadership coach based in Vienna & Berlin.

About Me

As an executive and leadership coach and Founding Partner of ForChiefs, I support leaders and their teams as a sidekick to upgrade their leadership.

Before starting ForChiefs, I was a Director and VP at SoundCloud. I've spent the last 10 years starting and building companies where I've learned a bunch about communication, communities, leadership – and company culture as the tissue that holds it all together. The 10 years before that, I worked in various roles in the music and marketing industries.

Besides, I create a podcast, organize events, and occasionally write.

Coaching

As a certified Leadership Circle coach, I work with founders, executives, and leaders at the intersections of communication, culture, and leadership. My goal is to stimulate breakthroughs and cultivate new ways to lead.

Email me to start a conversation and let's explore how we can collaborate.
