👨🏫 Leadership, Management, Mentorship My experience focuses on both building and scaling effective technology organizations. I thrive on forming strong relationships with key teammates, understanding team dynamics, and leveraging insights gained to build amazing teams. I love recognizing the unique and diverse talents in each team member and helping design a plan to ensure both their personal success as well as the success of the organization. Above all, I love mentoring those whom work with with me and watching them grow. I'm a fan of trust, truth, authenticity, transparency, focus, and continuous feedback. Solving hard organizational and people problems pragmatically and authentically is my core competency.
👨💻 Technologist As someone who has been enamored with technology from early youth, I am a lifetime technologist and would never be comfortable with that changing. I learned to use my extensive accumulated knowledge and affinity for technology to help guide analytically-driven product or business decisions, gain the technical respect of the staff that reports up through me, and guide or consult on cross-cutting technology strategies. I am voraciously curious, and I love to both learn and build new things, either by myself or through a team.
✨Product & Customer Focus Engaging closely with both the product and customer has always felt natural for me. Technology alone doesn't solve human problems. Only when you thoughtfully and carefully craft a product iterated in the shadow of a real problem and with the involvement of those who live it can you build something truly great. As a leader, focusing on bringing this perspective to every member of the team has an outsized effect on the performance of your organization.
