Services

After 2 decades in the tech industry, I’m now working with a select handful of early and growth stage companies as a Fractional CTO/CPO and Advisor. Let’s talk if you think I could help your company.

  • Hiring and Team Management

    Your people are everything. I can help with setting up a talent strategy, hiring, designing your EPD org, and working with contractors or offshore firms.

  • Software Development Process

    Access playbooks for strategic planning, prioritization, managing projects and Go-To-Market strategies from top software companies.

  • Technical Architecture

    Making the right platform choices will impact your ability to deliver. I've seen systems at all sizes and an help you make scalable platform, architecture, and build vs. buy decisions.

  • Fundraising

    I've been a part of numerous VC fundraising processes and can help with pitch deck feedback, narrative coaching and a game plan for your next fundraising round.

I've been fortunate enough to lead teams and product development at some of the most successful tech companies in the industry including Zillow, Uber, Amazon and Microsoft. As CTO of Lessen, I led building the tech team and product offering that took the company from a pre-seed to unicorn valuation. I also have worked with numerous founders and startup teams as a Fractional CTO, Advisor, Board Member and Mentor.

I've learned what works and what doesn't at both small startups and big companies. Building and growing a business is tough, and every phase brings new challenges. Just when things seem stable, another hurdle pops up. That's what inspired me to start to start a new mission. I want to leverage what I’ve learned to help startup founders tackle their toughest engineering and product challenges.

I usually work with clients as a Fractional CTO/CPO or an Advisor or both. While every engagement is unique, most Advisor roles are 2-4 hours a month and most Fractional roles are 10-15 hours a week. I don’t take on more than 2 Fractional clients at any given time. Feel free to drop me a line to kick off a free exploratory conversation.
