Whether it is people, product, or process, I focus a seasoned and pragmatic lens to find creative and implementable ideas

for solving problems.

Typical Problems I Help Solve

“I need to start development now on a new product. I don’t have my team yet!”

“I need to translate between tech and business—how do we convey value?”

“We are missing product deadlines and quality isn’t improving”

“How do I differentiate our product? Are we adding enough value?”

“Implementations are rocky. Services blames Dev. Dev blames Services”

“It seems like we’re just reacting to customers—not driving innovation.”

“Do I have the right team for success? I’m unsure of one of our leaders”

“Our R&D/Services spend is too high. How do we overcome tech debt?”

“Our organization can’t delivering on our strategic initiatives fast enough.”
