I work with CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and senior technical leaders who are navigating the transition from individual contributor to strategic leader, scaling teams, or facing complex architectural decisions. The shift from writing code to enabling others to write great code requires a different skillset - one that balances technical depth with people leadership.
My coaching is designed for technical leaders who are:
Effective coaching isn't about providing answers - it's about asking the right questions and creating space for leaders to develop their own solutions. I bring technical credibility combined with leadership experience, which means we can dive deep into architectural trade-offs one session and discuss team dynamics the next.
Sessions are practical and action-oriented. We focus on real challenges you're facing right now, whether that's a specific technical decision, a team conflict, or strategic planning. I provide frameworks and perspectives drawn from my experience, but ultimately, you're building your own leadership philosophy.
Technical Strategy: Making architectural decisions that balance current needs with future scalability. Understanding when to refactor, when to rebuild, and when to live with technical debt.
Team Building: Hiring, developing, and retaining engineering talent. Creating career paths, conducting effective 1-on-1s, and building a culture of continuous learning.
Communication: Translating technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders. Making the case for infrastructure investments, managing up effectively, and influencing without authority.
Process & Delivery: Establishing engineering processes that enable velocity without chaos. Balancing speed with quality, planning with flexibility.
AI Integration: Navigating the rapid evolution of AI tooling. Building AI-powered products, managing AI-assisted development, and understanding where AI adds value versus where it creates risk.
If you're a technical leader looking for a thinking partner who understands both code and people, I'd welcome a conversation about how coaching might support your growth.
