Biography
Bio | Leaders in small to mid-sized technology companies work with me when they realize it’s one thing to optimize code, but they need a whole new toolkit when it comes to getting the most out of people and teams. Technology leaders, executives, and founders commonly report the following frustrations: At the same time, engineers, developers, and product owners often complain of the following: It doesn’t have to be this way. I help executives, leaders, engineers, and teams in small to mid-sized tech companies dramatically improve their communication and effectiveness, which produces several tangible benefits: Unlike other coaches and facilitators who are heavy on soft skills and light on real world experience and results, I am an engineer with over 13 years of experience at a rapid-growth, high-stress, mission critical tech start-up – which grew from a 12 person team into a world-leading organization of 300+ employees, and provided a successful exit for the shareholders. Having worked in DevOps, Product Management, Sales, Customer Success, and international Project Management, I’ve seen it all. I have developed business processes, led Agile transformations, navigated two corporate mergers, helped design and implement an organizational restructuring, and trained customers, partners, and staff along the way. As a seasoned technology professional, I have lived and breathed the challenges you face every day. I am also a skilled executive coach, with credentials from the Center for Executive Coaching and the International Coaching Federation (ICF). If you are a leader in a small to mid-sized tech company and would benefit from the clarity, confidence, and peace of mind that come with dramatically improved performance and cohesion, please feel free to contact me. I would be delighted to discuss your specific challenges and see if we’re a mutual match. |
