Aggressive engineering team builder and leader.
Congratulations! You’ve worked hard to hire the best and brightest (IQ). Now, as the team grows, interactions get complicated. You need to help them develop their emotional intelligence (EQ). As well as leading and building engineering teams, I specialize in mentoring team members to work better with
others and allow their brilliance to shine.
I sold my first startup to Oracle and another to Match.com. I’ve hired engineering teams from scratch, and grown other teams to over 60. I have a strong following of engineers who’d like to work with me again.
People: A servant-leader. Practices radical candor. Empowers team members. Removes obstacles. Problem solver for individuals and broken teams. Enjoys mentoring new leaders while building career paths for those who will be happiest remaining individual contributors.
Process: Pragmatic expert on agile processes, applying only those which are right for the team. Driven to deliver real value to customers at regular intervals.
Product: Partner to all PMs. Coach/Mentor to junior PMs. Believer in rigorous vetting of feature requests so that we work on only the most valuable ones.
Upbeat, engaged, biased toward action, opinionated yet happy to accept better ideas, transparent, solid communicator, and laughs regularly.
