How I Work
Every organisation hits friction differently. Some need hands-on leadership; others need a sharper view of what’s slowing things down.
I adapt how I work depending on what will help most – stepping in deeply when pace has dropped, and stepping back once delivery holds.
Success is when you tell me, “Thanks – we’ve got it from here”.
Whatever the cause, the fix always starts with seeing the friction up close.
Review – See the friction
A short, focused engagement to surface what’s slowing delivery and where to act first. Clear insight, no theatre.
Embedded Leadership – Lead from the inside
Operate within your teams to stabilise pace, unblock decisions, and rebuild trust between product and engineering.
Coaching – Make capability stick
Work alongside your leadership and delivery teams to strengthen ownership, simplify systems, and embed habits that sustain delivery under pressure.
Where embedded leadership bridges the gap, coaching focuses on building your long-term capability.
Advisory – Keep delivery steady
Most clients treat this as periodic support – a trusted sounding board to sense-check direction and keep flow predictable as you scale.
How do you work with existing leadership?
Collaboratively. I sit between product and engineering – not above or outside them.
That means I can help translate strategy into systems that deliver, and engineering realities into language that product and leadership can act on.
Whether it’s your CTO, VP of Engineering, or Head of Product, I focus on amplifying their impact, not competing with it.
Are there things you don’t do?
Yes.
- I don’t run framework rollouts, sell tool stacks, or run agile theatre.
- I don’t deliver slide decks or reports that sit on shelves.
- Everything I do happens inside real delivery – where strategy, people, and systems meet under pressure.
My focus is helping teams deliver confidently again – fast, safe, and without theatre.
If this sounds familiar, let’s talk.

If it’s a fit, we’ll plan a review to see the friction and set direction.
