What you can expect working with me
As a coach and thought partner, I help executives and emerging leaders level up on effectiveness and job satisfaction.
I bring an intense curiosity about how to help people grow, along with deep experience in both engineering and product leadership, across:
- Early-stage searches for traction
- Periods of intensely accelerated growth
- Ongoing struggles to stay effective at scale
Some Challenges I Know Well And Love
Engineering or Product Leaders With Recently Expanded Scope
Perhaps due to promotion, or company expansion, or the departure of a key peer. I’ve helped such leaders:
Build trust with their CEO and peers on a leadership team
Establish consistent delivery of value, across a broad set of teams
Improve collaborations with teams outside of engineering & product
Leading Through Periods of Intense Growth
Having experienced multiple such periods, I can support leaders as they:
Organize and reorganize their teams through growth inflection points
Work to maintain both culture & velocity during scale up
Facing A Company-Wide Strategic Challenge
Where some such challenges might include:
Intense pressure to develop a new product to expand TAM
Urgent attempts to restructure internal, tech-supported operations to reduce costs
High-stakes efforts to weave AI into both product offerings and internal practices
Every such company-wide challenge will bring its own, extremely distinct nuances. In such situations, I aim to serve as a thought partner as well as a coach.
Format and pricing
While my rates vary by role and company stage, the typical engagement includes video meetings every other week and a non-contractual minimum of six sessions.
