I’ve been delivering software engineering management consulting in companies of all sizes for more than a decade. I’m a longtime champion of team-building and development best practices industry-wide. And I’ve been training and coaching teams and executives to make their practices more effectively agile for a decade and a half.

Reviewers compare our Addison-Wesley book, “Managing the Unmanageable: Rules, Tools, and Insights for Managing Software People and Teams”​, to the classics in engineering management.

As a VP Eng firefighter and advisor, I quickly assess organizational issues to improve processes, boost productivity, increase teamwork, and deepen partnerships. I lead, unite and inspire software organizations to deliver high quality products with exceptional customer experience. I’m a deeply people-focused mentor, coach, team-builder.

I train and coach teams and executives in Agile and Scrum. Mentor software development managers at all levels. Get difficult-to-get-started products underway. Coach teams to deliver predictably. Organize and lead geographically distributed teams. Bring out the best in each team member. Enable cross-team and cross-organization collaboration.

I led Charles Schwab to re-engineer and standardize its software platform company-wide. Brought engineering discipline to product delivery at Stanford, Check Point, Razorfish, Fujitsu. Managed development and delivery of Apple’s UX/UI.
