Services
22 years building and leading at DeltaStream, Confluent, and SAP Ariba. I work with engineers and founders on the decisions that compound: career moves, fundraising, team architecture, and growth strategy.
1:1 Coaching
For Staff+ engineers, EMs, and Directors facing a fork in the road. Whether you're deciding between IC and management, navigating a promotion case, or figuring out your next move. I'll give you unfiltered perspective from the other side of the table.
Offer Negotiations
I've been on both sides of the offer table, as a candidate at top-tier companies and as a hiring leader setting compensation bands. I'll help you understand what's negotiable, what leverage you have, and how to ask for more without torpedoing the relationship.
Fundraising
Investors bet on the team as much as the idea. I help technical founders sharpen their pitch, pressure-test their architecture story, and build the narrative that makes VCs confident in the technical bet. From seed to Series B.
Product GTM & Team Growth
Scaling from 5 to 50 engineers is a different problem than scaling from 50 to 500. I've done both. I work with CTOs and VPs of Engineering on org design, hiring systems, and product roadmap prioritization for infrastructure-heavy companies.
How I work
I don't do strategy decks. I get into the details, ask uncomfortable questions, and give you the answer I'd give myself.
Every engagement is direct. One conversation, one decision at a time. I work with a small number of people so I can actually be useful, not just available.
Get started
Tell me what you're working on. If I can help, I'll say so. If I can't, I'll point you to someone who can.
