About

Hi, I’m Srinivas. I’m an engineering leader at Amazon, following 20+ years at Microsoft, where I progressed from an individual contributor to leading a 75-person engineering delivery organization. Along the way, I’ve built teams, developed engineering managers, and led large-scale platform and AI initiatives.

I’ve learned that growing into senior leadership takes more than technical expertise. It requires building strong teams, influencing decisions, navigating organizational challenges, and demonstrating impact beyond your immediate team.

I help engineering managers and aspiring leaders take that next step in their careers.

Whether you’re working toward a Senior Engineering Manager or Director role, growing into a broader leadership position, or navigating a difficult workplace situation, I can help you with:

* Career growth and promotions: Positioning yourself for the next level and demonstrating leadership impact.
* Leadership and people management: Building strong teams, developing others, and handling difficult conversations.
* Executive communication and influence: Managing stakeholders, building visibility, and navigating organizational complexity.
* Career decisions and transitions: Evaluating opportunities, preparing for leadership interviews, and finding your next direction.

My mentoring style is practical, candid, and grounded in real experience. I believe great careers aren’t built alone, and I’ve benefited from exceptional mentors throughout my own journey.

If you’re looking to grow as an engineering leader, let’s connect. Bring a challenge you’re facing or a goal you’re working toward, and we’ll identify practical next steps together.

What happens when you start

You tell Srinivasan your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. Srinivasan reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
