Who I Work With

I typically work with:

• Established leaders and founders building their first teams

• Leaders transitioning from great contributor → great leader

Problems I Help Solve

Leadership for First-Time Managers

Many technical people suddenly find themselves managing people.

I work with leaders on:

• transitioning from individual contributor to leader

• managing engineers and setting expectations

• handling difficult team decisions

Product & Execution

Startups often struggle to turn ideas into consistent execution.

I help teams improve:

• roadmap discipline

• shipping cadence

• product and engineering alignment / resolving conflicts

• focusing engineering effort on the highest-impact work

Scaling an Engineering Team

Going from a few engineers to a real team is a major transition.

Typical challenges include:

• engineering org design

• leveling systems and performance management

• introducing the right amount of process

• deciding when to hire managers

• maintaining engineering quality while growing quickly

My Background

I led engineering teams at Apple and Google, where the bar for hiring, engineering quality, and leadership is extremely high.

Now I work with leaders to build strong teams, design effective org structures, implement clear performance management, create the right incentives, and cultivate an inclusive culture.

How Coaching Works

Most engagements involve:

• 1:1 coaching sessions 

• help with leadership decisions and team challenges

• managing up and across

Sessions are typically weekly or bi-weekly.
