Values

I believe in quality, consistent communication. I want teams to know where I stand and keep the focus on the goal.

I optimize teams for resiliency. Teams change; we face challenges, both technical and stategic. That's okay. We just keep moving forward together.

I excel at individualization and empathy. I build connections between people and teams and know how to get the most out of every individual.
