You've got the product and the team. Now you need delivery that works without you running it, managers who'll carry the torch, and a clear plan for what AI changes in your operations. I help you get there – by stepping in, coaching, or both.
Who this is for
- Software founders running companies with 5–50 people
- You've had some success but you're experiencing growing pains or uncertainty about the future
- You're figuring out how AI fits into your team's workflow and operations
You might be dealing with:
- A team that grew but output didn't — something broke and you're not sure what
- New managers who need support you don't have time to give
- Delivery that depends on you being in the room
- The question of what AI actually means for how your team works
How I can help
Full-time or fractional management
I join your team full-time or 2–3 days/week as an operator. I take ownership of delivery, develop your managers, and fix the systems that aren't working — so you can focus on strategy and growth instead of firefighting.
Coaching and facilitation
Focused engagements when you don't need someone inside the team full-time — a specific problem to diagnose, a decision to think through, a team that needs to get aligned. I help you and your team find the best way forward, then get out of the way.
My Background
15+ years in software — from system design through agile coaching to senior engineering/delivery management with more than one detour into entrepreneurship. I've grown teams, shipped products and built the processes that support healthy companies.
I write about delivery, teams and leadership on this blog and give talks on the subject since 2011.
