Work with me

Selection by fit and leverage, not capacity. Usually I’m the person brought in to make a complex thing actually ship.

How I work

Before you write, know this

Style
Direct communication. Flow over formality. I argue because I respect you.
Motivation
Complex, user-facing problems with a real effect on people’s lives.
Superpower
Sense-making: framing uncertainty, finding the real question, separating signal from noise.
Not a fit
If every decision in your company goes through a multi-level, political chain of command, we won’t match. I want to be close to the decision and the people making it.
