Ned Renzi

I’ve worked with Ned and ETW for over five years throughout the journey of building Shef. Ned has been an invaluable partner, consistently challenging my thinking, helping me grow into a stronger operator, and giving me the perspective to navigate difficult moments with greater clarity and confidence. I’m a better leader because of our work together, and I believe Shef is a more resilient company as a result.

The entrepreneurial journey is a wild ride. As a founder, I read books, blogs, posts and use AI, but my business’s nuances and the velocity at which I need to make decisions require a coach who has been there before, seen the patterns and successfully navigated each challenge or opportunity. Ned and the ETW team have supported us for more than 6 years, guiding us from a seed stage start-up to a Series C growth stage organization. From fundraising, to persisting through the tough times, fully realizing explosive growth and building a team of A players, we simply would not have succeeded without their guidance and support.

As a Founder and CEO there can be many ups and downs, but how you navigate them is what matters most. Having Ned as a sounding board, coach, mentor and advisor is invaluable in navigating the ups and downs that are inherent in running any business. That is why I’ve been working with Ned for 6+ years and plan to continue building with them.

Ned has an unmatched talent for coaching. He is an organizational machine who always comes prepared and keeps us on track during each session, while constantly pushing me to new levels in goal setting, pacing, leadership, and building a world-class business.
