I've spent 10+ years inside GCCs (IBM, WWT) designing high-performance engineering teams. Now, I coach ambitious professionals on career transitions, appraisals, and building leverage—and consult early founders on zero-to-one cloud kitchen operations.
I don't inherit working systems. I build them.
I operate at the intersection of enterprise workforce strategy, executive coaching, and zero-to-one entrepreneurship:
Whether you are scaling a global engineering workforce or launching an independent business, I build the systems that drive outcomes.
