Most engineers I coach aren't stuck on the technical side. They've hit walls they weren't trained for — leading people through conflict, navigating organizational politics, letting go of the work that earned them their reputation, or figuring out what the next chapter of their career actually looks like.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
I've coached software engineers, electrical engineers, civil engineers, and engineering consultants — from individual contributors navigating career-defining transitions, to small business owners trying to grow and scale engineering firms, to Directors running national teams. What connects them is the same gap: the skills that made them exceptional technically aren't the skills that will carry them forward.
Before I built my coaching practice, I spent 10+ years in engineering leadership, with 20+ years of professional experience overall. I started up an office from scratch, ran a national engineering division, and led cultural turnarounds that drove triple-digit percentage margin growth. I've had every hard conversation — performance, accountability, restructuring, letting people go — from the engineering leader's chair.
I coach from lived experience. My style is direct and challenging. I won't let you off the hook, and I won't hand you generic leadership advice you could've gotten from a book.
You'll get the most out of working with me if:
-You're an engineer (any discipline) transitioning into or growing within a people leadership role
-You want an honest mirror, not a cheerleader
-You're ready to do real work between sessions, not just talk about it
If that lands, let's chat.
