The house is on fire. You know it, your team knows it, and the longer it burns the harder everything gets. I come in fast, get into the muck, and figure out quickly what needs to change. I'm not the permanent answer — I'm the person who gets things stable and sets up whoever comes next to actually succeed. Most of these engagements run around 100 days. Some take longer. You probably won't even remember I was there, and that's fine by me.

Operators who can also speak the language of capital are harder to find than most boards realize. I've built and run technology organizations. I also understand valuation, what investors are actually asking when they ask about your tech, and what business outcomes require beyond the roadmap. That's what makes a board seat useful rather than decorative. If that's a gap you're trying to fill, worth a conversation.

I've keynoted for tech teams, facilitated multi-day leadership retreats, and run workshops for rooms full of professional speakers. The throughline is that people leave with something real — a framework they can use, prompts they can run, an instrument they can deploy. I'm actively looking for the next stage, conference, or room where that's the right fit.
