How I Think

My approach to leadership comes down to four principles: pragmatism, simplicity, courage, and a bias for action. I've accrued and sharpened how I apply these principles during my time in military service, years of consulting work, and running professional service teams. I carry the same instincts into how I work with technology: exploring new things, identifying what's real, what's ready, and what actually moves the needle for the organizations and people I work with.
