I transform unpredictable delivery into shipped outcomes for scaling teams.
What I'm looking for
I build the execution engine that lets companies scale. Over 20+ years, I’ve moved from writing code to running delivery organizations of 100–500+ engineers, product managers, and delivery professionals, owning multi-million-dollar portfolios across multiple regions.
As Chief Delivery Officer at Brightgrove, I led the transformation from staff-augmentation to value-based, outcome-driven delivery. I designed and rolled out a new customer engagement model and improved overall gross margin by ~4 points, repositioning delivery around outcomes and higher-value engagements.
I specialize in scaling execution capability—building high-performing organizations and the operating models, governance, and leadership practices that sustain growth. I established operating model cadence and quality gates to make delivery predictable and repeatable, and I built a performance-management system with KPIs across delivery, client satisfaction, and team health.
Across earlier roles, I cut release cycles from three months to three weeks through SAFe, scaled key accounts and their teams 3x, and led a product’s market entry into the UK. I also drive adoption of emerging technologies (including AI/ML) and strengthen go-to-market credibility, including AWS and Oracle partner status.
