Leading a team for the first time, or going for promotion? I help engineers, product and operations professionals lead with confidence. I've mentored since 2015, for thousands of hours, and mentees rate me 5.0 on MentorCruise. Start with a free intro call. I spent years as an individual contributor before being invited into management, and I remember how unclear that step looked from the outside.
