If everything feels urgent, something is structurally wrong.
Busy teams with growing products often hit slowdown and churn—not from lack of effort, but from unclear ownership and conflicting signals. I help diagnose what's actually broken.
What I help with
Most teams facing these problems try to optimize execution—better processes, clearer tickets, faster delivery. But if the underlying structure is unclear, optimization creates new friction. I help identify what's structurally misaligned before you layer on more process.
Growth stagnation without clear root causes
Metrics show slowdown, but competing explanations create analysis paralysis.
Delivery slowing despite busy teams
More effort, longer cycles, unclear where the friction actually lives.
Ownership and responsibility becoming unclear
Everything is everyone's problem. Nothing gets definitively resolved.
How it works
Diagnostic Audit
Meeting
30-minute structured conversation to understand your specific slowdown or structural friction.
Analysis & Recommendations
Written report identifying root causes and structural improvements—no generic advice.
Partnership Format
Selection
Choose advisory, embedded support, or standalone audit based on your needs and capacity.
What typical outcomes look like
Results depend on your specific case, but most teams see tangible structural improvements within weeks. These aren't aspirational promises—they're concrete, observable changes from diagnostic clarity.
- ✓ Clear ownership boundaries stop decision paralysis
- ✓ Focused metrics reduce conflicting interpretations
- ✓ Delivery friction drops from structural clarity
- ✓ Teams spend less time coordinating, more time executing

About me
I work with technical teams navigating the transition from founder-led execution to structured product delivery. My approach is diagnostic first—identifying structural misalignment before recommending process changes.
I've worked with early-stage SaaS companies, scale-ups post-Series A, and product teams dealing with complexity they didn't predict.
