Who have I worked with?
Apart from my career at Amazon and Google, I have consulted for and coached leaders in:
SCALEUPS
ENTERPRISE
Who Am I?
Over more than 20 years, I've worked for Google and Amazon, consulted for some of the world’s largest enterprises, and helped some of the fastest growing scaleups build their management systems.
I've been a software developer, a product leader, led customer service, and worked in every area of sales and marketing. I've been an individual contributor, a product leader, a c-suite executive, managed teams of over 100 people, and had responsibility for a P&L measured in the billions.
I've always had a passion for understanding how business, leadership and management work.
But it's not about me.
It's about you.
I get energy from helping people like you succeed.
You inspire me.
Have a great day and scale well!
