Your engineering team is adopting AI.
But is AI making your company stronger or just faster at the wrong things?
I get into the technical detail and untangle it: which AI bets are working, which are noise, and what each one means for your business and your people. What comes back are clearer, actionable, adoptable workflows, not more complexity.

Does this sound like you?
Your CEO has declared the company AI-first. Your engineering organization is moving, but you can't tell whether it's moving in the right direction.
You're a CTO getting pulled into the weeds on every problem. The strategic work that should fill your week, the next year, the next hire, the next architectural call, keeps getting bumped.
You're a non-engineer founder. You shipped a product on AI tools, you have real users, and you don't know how to assess whether what you built will hold up.
Your AI spend is climbing, and you can't tell which of it is moving the business forward and which is just expensive churn.
Your engineering managers are talented, but they haven't led through this kind of ambiguity before. You need them driving the company through it, not waiting for it to resolve.
Clarify. Disentangle. Execute.
I clarify what's happening in the weeds. That can mean identifying technical decisions that nobody realized had business implications, or getting crucial conversations to where they should have started in the first place.
I look at it from the technical, business, and people angles, and disentangle the actual problem from the noise around it.
I don't hand you a recommendation and leave. I get the work done, or I make your team capable of doing it without me, depending on which is right for the situation.
I've spent +15 years building and leading inside high-growth companies. I started as a founding engineer at a bootstrapped startup and grew into a senior director leading 35-plus engineers. I've launched products from zero to market, turned around platforms that were losing money, and developed managers who became leaders.
The reason executives bring me into hard moments is that I can hold the entire situation: the technical work, the business case, and the human dynamics on the team. Most do one well and lose the other two.
