I’m available for consulting, mentoring and board work. I’m most useful when a software organization needs to deliver more predictably, grow, or prepare for a transaction.
What I help with
- Software organization reviews: evaluating how a team plans, builds and ships, and recommending practical improvements.
- Planning and estimation: introducing Horizon Planning so the commitments made to customers and the board are ones the team can keep.
- Mentoring and training for CTOs, VPs and engineering managers.
- Corporate talks and training.
- Boards of Directors and Advisory Boards.
- Mergers and acquisitions: evaluating software companies as acquisition targets, and preparing software companies to be acquired.
- Industry-specific advice: DDI (DNS, DHCP and IP address management), payment processing, cloud hosting infrastructure, and financial risk management.
- Adopting agentic development: I’m working hands-on with AI coding agents and can help a team think through how to introduce them without losing engineering discipline.
Rates
An initial conversation is free. My rate is $400/hour plus expenses, and I’m happy to discount it for smaller organizations (under $10M in revenue).
