Why this?

I coach ambitious tech leaders who value an experienced guide to help build your career, develop your team, and support your top goals.

I help you solve specific challenges such as:

→ You want to develop your team but have a time challenge
→ The business doesn’t value your team, role, or function
→ You don’t have the resources you need to succeed
→ You’re not involved early enough in key decisions
→ You struggle to attract & retain top IT talent
→ You don’t have a seat at the table

Why me?

During my C-level career, colleagues said my unique, unduplicated role was developing people & teams. So, I quit my “day job” to make it my sole focus!

I wrote my first book, People Before Things, and it quickly became a bestseller. It wasn’t because of my writing flex. Rather, it struck a chord with leaders struggling to build buy-in with their peers and end-users.

I’ve already helped 300,000+ people worldwide. Here are my career highlights:

→ 4-time CIO
→ Former tech CEO
→ 3 InfoWorld 100 awards
→ ComputerWorld Premier 100 IT Leader
→ The Economist’s Top 5 Social Business Leader
→ InformationWeek’s Social Business Technology Leader
