About this session
One-off session to discuss custom topics. Where I can help:
- Resume review and interview preparation plan
- Career roadmap: promotion readiness, long-term positioning, evaluating right next steps
- Tech Leadership growth & development: mindset and practical tools when leading in the tech industry
- Reviews: guidance and review for documents and presentations (business reviews, org design, charter docs, technical design, process changes).
Your mentor
I am an Engineering Director with 23 years of experience, including 15 years in leadership, at Google, Coinbase, and Yahoo. My career has spanned Ads, Search, Cloud, and Crypto, giving me a front-row seat to both hyper-growth and massive-scale engineering.
Currently, I am on a deliberate career sabbatical. I’m using this time to give back to the community, helping leaders navigate the same high-stakes environments I’ve spent two decades in.
How we can work together:
- Engineering & Org Leadership: Strategy for first-time managers, managing managers, and designing healthy, high-performing org structures.
- The Promotion "Black Box": Tactical roadmapping to help you reach the next level at Tier-1 tech companies.
- Sustainable High Performance: Managing the "Human Side" of tech - navigating maternity/paternity leave, preventing burnout and planning sabbaticals
