I've spent two decades guiding technology organizations through critical growth phases—from VP of Engineering roles at companies like IMVU, SmugMug and Caffeine.tv to Technical Advisor at Amazon.

Today, I advise startups and enterprises across the US and Europe while leading innovation practices in hyper-growth areas at Amazon.

My experience includes pioneering work at IMVU, where my team helped launch the DevOps movement in 2009 by deploying code to production 50 times per day—introducing the term "continuous deployment"—and working alongside Eric Ries to develop the Lean Startup methodology.

My approach combines extensive leadership experience with professional coaching training and certification from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. I help technical leaders navigate key inflection points in their growth journey—whether that's scaling teams, developing their leadership vision, or building high-performance cultures.

I focus on fostering self-awareness, integrity, and accountability while creating environments where continuous learning thrives.

Throughout my career, I've found that the greatest impact comes from helping people and teams reach their full potential. I'm passionate about sharing these tested experiences to help other technical leaders forge their own paths to success.
