How I Operate
I help leaders ship outcomes: clarify strategy, build the right product, scale teams, and reduce execution risk. My approach combines clear communication, pragmatic systems thinking, and a bias for measurable results.
Process
A simple, repeatable loop that accelerates learning while reducing risk.
1) Diagnose
Listen first. Clarify the problem, constraints, and desired outcomes. Align on truth and surface what matters most.
2) Design
Define a plan that is minimal yet sufficient: clear priorities, crisp ownership, and checkpoints that measure learning.
3) Deliver
Execute with momentum and transparency. Turn incidents into insights. Iterate based on evidence, not hope.
Where I Help
Philosophy-first. These are lenses on impact, not a menu. We tailor based on outcomes.
Fractional CTO
From strategy to execution: org design, platform choices, reliability habits, and the metrics that turn learning into durable revenue growth.
For CEOs & Founders
Clarify priorities, translate vision into an executable plan, de‑risk launches, and keep the team focused on the few moves that matter.
For CTOs & VPs of Eng
Refactor roadmap and ops without stalling; set guardrails and standards, coach leaders, and raise reliability and velocity together.
For Founders
Zero‑to‑one acceleration: ruthless scope and runway discipline, first‑ten hiring and org shape, MVP guardrails, GTM alignment, and milestone‑driven fundraising.
For Product Leaders
Outcome‑oriented roadmaps, tight discovery‑to‑delivery loops, clear instrumentation for learning velocity, and pragmatic AI build‑versus‑buy decisions.
For Investors & Boards
Technical and execution diligence, leadership depth assessment, risk‑mitigation plans, and value‑creation checkpoints tied to evidence, not narratives.
Philosophy
How I show up: candid, data-informed, and relentlessly focused on learning velocity.
Radical Candor
Clear is kind. I care personally and challenge directly, so teams move faster with more trust.
Scaling People
Build systems and habits that make people better: hiring bar, coaching, and feedback loops.
Start With Why
Purpose drives persistence. Orient around customer value and shared goals so decisions stay principled.
I’m pragmatic, hands-on, and numbers-aware: revenue, margin, reliability, and learning velocity. I mentor leaders, unblock teams, and build the mechanisms that make good decisions the default.
