About Me
Building principled teams that deliver outsized outcomes.
I'm a positive realist who builds principled teams that ship. From a product division that drove Cognizant's acquisition of ESG Mobility, to growing Fetch.ai's platform to 100,000+ users - the pattern is the same: join or start an organization, build teams, and turn capability into competitive advantage.
My leadership is rooted in clear principles: radical transparency, continuous improvement, and structuring teams for autonomy using Team Topologies. I write about why AI-native teams will outrun everyone else.
Leadership
How I build high-performing teams
Team Topologies
Autonomous units with clear domains, diverse skill sets, and well-defined interfaces. The Inverse Conway Maneuver guides organizational design.
Radical Transparency
Truth matters more than comfort. Proactive vulnerability builds trust, and decisions are made on evidence, not opinion.
Kaizen Culture
Permanent learning, permanent improvement. Every iteration moves closer to goals AND trains the system.
Objectives and Key Results-Driven
Measure what matters. Set ambitious objectives, prioritize ruthlessly using 80/20, and iterate based on data.
Coaching
Core beliefs that guide my coaching
Team, Teammates, Self
The grass is always greener where you water it. Help unblock others before starting new work.
Empower, Don't Control
Push decision-making to the edges. Ask for forgiveness, not permission.
Learn Through Struggle
Don't solve problems for people—help them solve problems themselves.
Celebrate Loudly, Own Failures
Public recognition builds culture. Leaders own failures; the team shares wins.
Let's Build Something Together
Whether you're looking for leadership insights, want to discuss team building, or are working on something that could use a collaborator—I'd love to connect.
