Industries
We don’t try to serve everyone—and that’s by design. We focus in the spaces where people care deeply, move fast, and often lead without a playbook. That’s where we do our best work. Our clients need a strategic partner who understands nuance, complexity, and the pressure to perform without losing the why.
Founder-Led
We align with founder-led companies because our approach is just as agile, invested, and deeply personal. We understand what’s at stake—because like you, we think in terms of long games, bold moves, and lasting impact. Whether you're scaling, refining your team, or preparing for what’s next, we bring sharp strategic insight, clear-eyed decision support, and the discretion you need to lead with conviction.
Nonprofits
We understand that nonprofit leadership is personal, people centered, and purpose driven. We partner with nonprofit CEOs who carry the full weight of the mission. We’re not outsiders looking in. We’ve been in the trenches with organizations navigating board dynamics, aligning senior teams, and helping leaders evolve.
Tech
We also thrive in fast-paced environments, like Tech where clarity isn’t a luxury, t’s a leadership imperative. As companies scale, teams shift, and priorities evolve leadership challenges can quietly become growth blockers. We specialize in helping tech executives lead with emotional intelligence, strategic precision, and organizational alignment.
Meet the Chief Elevation Officer
Our team of experts is composed of seasoned professionals with diverse backgrounds and a shared passion for empowering businesses. At the helm is our founder and CEO, Rhonda Harris—a trusted advisor to CEOs and a master problem-solver known for her clarity under pressure, sharp strategic thinking, and unshakable discretion. Rhonda sets the tone for excellence, empathy, and results-driven execution across everything we do. Under her leadership, we bring not only a wealth of knowledge and creativity, but also the courage and precision required to deliver bold, lasting solutions for our clients.
Rhonda Harris, Principal
Rhonda Harris is the strategic thought partner and advisor behind many of today’s boldest CEOs and executive teams. In every role she’s held—from in-house advisor to external consultant—she has been the person the CEO calls when the stakes are high, the path forward is unclear, and discretion is paramount.
Her approach blends emotional intelligence with decades of expertise in judgment rich advising, strategy, and organizational development. She fills the gaps that most leadership teams either don’t see or don’t know how to close without ego, politics, or pressure from internal dynamics. With Rhonda, leaders find clarity, alignment, and momentum.
“I chose the name Coxswain because it captures what I do best—helping leaders steer with precision, call the rhythm, and reach their destination—without ever needing to row the boat myself.”
