About

I'm a leadership coach and product advisor. I work with senior product and engineering leaders in tech companies, typically venture-backed or profitable scaleups across Europe and the US.

Most of what I do comes down to one thing: helping people think clearly when everything's moving.

What I've noticed

When teams struggle, it's rarely a lack of effort or ambition. More often, it's misalignment. Unclear priorities. Decisions that don't stick. People pulling in slightly different directions without realising it.

The same pattern shows up at the individual level. Smart, capable leaders carrying too much context, second-guessing themselves, or burning out while delivering results.

I help with both.

How I work

I coach senior leaders one-to-one, creating space to think through the hard stuff without performing confidence. I advise product and engineering teams on strategy, alignment, and the decisions that tend to get stuck. And I run workshops on the things I keep seeing: how to lead without burning out, how to get alignment that actually holds, how to make decisions that don't unravel.

The work usually starts with a conversation. I listen to what's going on, we figure out what would actually help, and go from there.

Before this

I spent over a decade in product leadership, most of it at Pivotal Labs (later Tanzu Labs). I've scaled teams, navigated IPOs and acquisitions, and co-founded a couple of early-stage ventures that taught me more about resilience than any book.

The coaching came later. After realising that the problems I kept solving weren't product problems. They were people problems wearing product clothes.

What I believe

High performance doesn't have to mean burnout. Growth doesn't have to mean going it alone. And the best leaders I know aren't the ones who have it all figured out. They're the ones who've found people they can think with.

That's what I try to be for the people I work with.

Outside work

I live in London with my wife and our dog, Cali. I run to think, and I'm slowly learning that rest is a skill.
