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.
