My Approach

Great coaching isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking the right questions to help you think clearly, decide effectively, and execute with impact. Having spent years leading complex engineering organizations and scaling teams at Google and Apple, I understand the unique pressures of modern tech leadership, including navigating rapid organizational shifts brought by generative AI. My style is calm, curious, and practical, balancing deep support with rigorous accountability so you leave every session with concrete next steps.

Who I Work With

Leaders who want to get better, not just look the part.

First-time managers figuring it out in real time

Staff and Principal track engineers

Experienced leaders scaling teams and organizations

Anyone dealing with complex team dynamics or tough decisions

Where I Help Most

Stepping Into Leadership

You’re no longer judged by your output but by your team’s.

• Senior IC to Manager Transitions.

• Setting expectations and managing engineers

• Managing up and across

• Making tough calls

Getting Teams to Actually Execute

Ideas aren’t the problem. Follow-through is.

• Roadmap discipline

• Cross-functional alignment

• product / engineering alignment 

• Focusing on what matters most

Scaling Without Breaking Things

What worked at 5 engineers won’t work at 20.

• Org design

• Navigating Organizational Reorgs & Burnout Mitigation.

• Performance management and leveling

• Adding process without slowing down

• Hiring managers at the right time

• Maintaining quality while growing

My Background

I led engineering teams at Apple and Google, I’ve seen what high standards look like and how easily they break down without the right leadership.

Now I help leaders build strong teams, make better decisions, and lead in a way that actually fits the situation they’re in.
