Coaching & Consulting for Shopify-Focused Soloists, Founders & Leaders
Whether you're starting on your own solo adventure, are building a business as a founder, or are a seasoned entrepreneur, the journey can be very lonely — especially if you don't have anyone to listen, support, and offer critical feedback. That's where I come in. I'm an experienced business coach and consultant, and I am here to help you make better decisions, feel more confident, and move you and your business forward. Are you ready?
As a soloist, founder or entrepreneur, you have the power to call the shots, make quick decisions, and shape your own adventure. But let's face it — this journey can be challenging. Do any of these feel familiar?
You're always too busy, and the sheer volume of work and responsibility can become overwhelming and lead to inertia.
Knowing what to do and when is key. But, even with a team, you find it hard to know what to prioritise as you're pulled in multiple directions every day.
Covering all aspects of the business can be challenging, and you feel like you lack expertise in certain areas, which prevents you from moving forward.
Ineffective planning and prioritisation causes you to waste time, miss opportunities, and have difficulty accomplishing what needs to be done.
Without external accountability, you struggle to stay motivated, maintain momentum, and achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
The absence of a co-founder, supportive network or regular collaborators leads to feelings of isolation and reduces your access to insight, feedback, and growth opportunities.
If you're fed up feeling stuck, stressed and unsure of what to do next, then working one‐on‐one with a business coach and consultant might be for you.
Over the last five years, I've worked closely with multiple soloists, founders and leaders who felt exactly like this.
Using my coaching and consulting skills and a vast array of experience gained over 20+ years working in the web, tech and ecommerce industries, we've identified issues, solved problems, and created clear and achievable routes to success. I can help you:
You'll develop a clear vision for your business goals and a focused plan to achieve them, guiding you and your business confidently along the path to success.
With valuable insights and strategic thinking, you'll make smarter decisions that positively impact your business, giving you a competitive edge.
You'll challenge yourself to implement methods and practices that will allow you to work smarter, not harder and achieve previously unthinkable results.
You'll experience continuous personal and professional growth, ensuring that you and your business are always evolving, improving and staying ahead.
You'll benefit from an unbiased, outside viewpoint that will broaden your understanding, help you identify blind spots and uncover new opportunities.
You'll find a better balance between your work responsibilities and personal life, helping you maintain your well‐being and sustain long‐term success.

I've spent the last 20 years working in the web, tech, and ecommerce industries. I started out as a web developer, morphed into product marketing, was the second hire on Shopify's nascent Partnerships team and for the last five years, have been building my own coaching and consulting practice.
I've had a few wins and experienced many failures which taught me invaluable lessons. Today, I channel this knowledge and expertise into supporting Shopify-focused soloists, founders and entrepreneurs who are ready to invest in personal growth and business development. Perhaps I can help you — let's find out.
You can learn more about my background and expertise on my about page.
Here's what previous clients have said about their experiences working with me.
Robert MillsFounder Fourth Wall Content
Working with Keir to better define what I do, who I do it for and why has been transformative for my business. Keir offered guidance, support and advice, which helped me focus on the right areas. Keir's approach is structured and always backed up with examples and helpful suggestions. He kept me accountable in an encouraging way and brought a lot of clarity to how I think about my business and more importantly how I talk about it to others.
Jeremiah PrummerFounder & CEO KnoCommerce
Working with Keir was an absolute pleasure. We worked together for more than 6 months, during which time he helped me process pricing strategy and positioning. Without changing a single feature, we were able to reposition our plans and increase revenue from new users by more than 150%. Needless to say, that's had a massive impact on our go-to-market strategy and scalability.
Michael SalvoFounder Whitecap SEO
1-on-1 business coaching with Keir has been a godsend, and has really accelerated our ecommerce marketing agency to the next level. Keir is thoughtful and dedicated, and the strategic guidance, insights, and direction he provides is incredibly valuable. I believe every Shopify Partner can benefit greatly from working with Keir.
Sudheer BayankerInvestor MLVeda
Keir's advice and coaching has been invaluable. As someone who has worked with a number of executive coaches, I can attest that Keir's style is authentic, and he really leans in to see you succeed. If you're a new business owner or an existing one looking to find that higher gear, I'd recommend connecting with Keir.
Patrick McCarthyFounder Digifly
Working with Keir to help grow our agency has been nothing short of incredible. He has provided unparalleled 1-to-1 coaching and helped us address key areas of the business, including our offer and pricing structure. If you are an ecommerce agency working with Shopify, I can't recommend Keir enough.
