I help leaders think systemically about growth, transformation, and building leverage.
I speak about what I've learned building and scaling companies for 20 years: how to think systematically about growth, how to lead product and engineering organizations through transformation, and how to build leverage into everything you do.
My talks aren't theory. They're pattern recognition from repeatedly doing the hard work of scaling—from 250K to 7M units, from 5 to 200 people, through acquisitions, rebrands, and market shifts.
