Case studies
Nearly three years coaching the platform engineering leaders who took GPT-3 from a research artifact to a product under real load, as the org doubled and doubled again.
Coached the CEO and CTO through the move from founders to executives: board management, hiring, and the fundraising story. The company raised a $15M Series B and a $20M follow-on.
Coached the CEO and CPO co-founders through conflict, flat growth, and a product process that kept changing direction. We rebuilt how they decided together and launched a new product.
A large engineering team had lost ownership of its own work. We rebuilt leadership, teamwork, process, and operations from the inside, so the team stopped waiting on a few people to unblock everything.
