About

I’m a CTO-level engineering and product leader with 23+ years across Big Tech (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Booking.com, Deliveroo) and startups.

People work with me when they’re tired of generic advice and want someone who can turn messy reality into a clear plan, then help them execute it. I operate at the intersection of product, engineering, and business. Call it “business magician” if you want. Practically: I help you find leverage, remove noise, make the right tradeoffs, and ship outcomes that move metrics.

What I’m unusually good at:
- Turning ambiguity into an executable strategy (product + tech + delivery)
- Ruthless prioritization and roadmaps that survive reality
- Executive communication: crisp narratives, decision memos, and alignment in 1-2 meetings
- Stakeholder alignment and unblocking politics without becoming political
- Negotiation and partnerships: win-win deals, clean incentives, no drama
- Scaling teams and systems: org design, hiring, delegation, reliability, and architecture tradeoffs
- AI and distributed systems when they add ROI (and calling out hype when they don’t)

What we can work on (based on your goal):
Career acceleration:
- Senior -> Staff/Principal, Manager -> Senior Manager/Director
- Role targeting, leveling expectations, positioning, narrative, and comp strategy
- Interview loops: system design, leadership, execution, and high-signal practice
- Portfolio and personal brand: what to show, how to frame it, and what to delete

Leadership execution:
- Your leadership operating system: priorities, cadence, delegation, accountability
- Influence without authority, conflict handling, and performance management
- Hiring and team building: raising the bar without creating chaos

Product and business strategy:
- “What are we building and why now”, positioning, metrics, and de-risking bets
- Roadmap tradeoffs, sequencing, and kill criteria
- GTM and pricing basics when relevant, plus partnership plays

Engineering excellence:
- Scaling, performance, reliability, incident culture, and pragmatic architecture decisions
- Translating technical risk into business language leaders will actually act on

What you get from sessions:
No vibes. No motivational fluff. We leave each session with tangible outputs: a decision, a plan, rewritten narratives, a de-risked interview strategy, a stakeholder map, or a product direction you can execute this week. Expect direct feedback, plus action items and accountability.

Who I’m a good fit for:
- Engineers aiming for Staff/Principal who want a real plan (not “just grind LeetCode”)
- New managers who need structure, confidence, and practical tools
- Staff+ leaders expanding scope, influence, and cross-functional impact
- Founders/CTOs who need product clarity, execution discipline, and leverage
- Engineers who want to scale up their career

If you want a mentor who can zoom out to strategy and zoom in to execution, book a call and tell me your goal, timeline, and what’s blocking you.

5 out of 5 stars

Mohammed helped me a lot in understanding my current situation, as well as my needs and wants. He also helped me set clear goals for the next 12 months and guided me in creating a long-term plan for the coming years, including how to build it and what I should focus on. I would like to thank Mohammed for his great guidance. I will definitely join his mentorship program again once I reach the first phase of my plan. I highly recommend Mohammed to anyone looking for clear direction and meaningful support.

Thank you so much, Mohamed, for all your support over the past few sessions. He brings deep knowledge and proven experience in guiding SaaS companies, and it truly shows. Mohamed is not only highly intelligent but also very responsive and thoughtful in addressing every question. I genuinely appreciate his insights, both for my personal growth and for shaping our company’s strategic direction.

Mohamed is a thoughtful and experienced mentor. From the very first session, he listened carefully and offered clear, structured advice tailored to my goals. Even though I wasn’t able to follow through consistently due to personal commitments, his insights gave me a better sense of direction. I truly appreciate his calm, non-judgmental approach and the way he shares his knowledge generously. I look forward to resuming the mentorship when I’m ready to fully commit.
