I work with organisations, teams and individuals. I teach, preach and coach. I’m deeply in love with teamwork, empathy, collective intelligence and helping people understand themselves and each other better. These three are my main topics at the moment: 1. Teamwork needs work Team is the most important unit of work. If the team has collective intelligence, it’ll outsmart and outperform heroic geniuses easily. So what are outstanding teams made of? 2. Why don’t they get me? Successful communication, interaction and teamwork require that we understand ourselves and each other. 3. The next most important skill to learn Receiving feedback well is a necessary life skill and the one who can turn feedback into growth will be better off than the rest.

I’ve always believed the best leaders don’t just build great products – they build great people. Over the past decade, I’ve led engineering teams at LinkedIn, Netflix, and now Salesforce, where I serve as Director of Engineering for our Analytics Agent org. My focus: transforming how we build intelligence, not just software. From architecting AI agents that power Tableau’s next-gen analytics, to driving cross-functional collaboration across global teams, I thrive at the intersection of vision, velocity, and impact. But my mission goes beyond what happens inside one company. Through Peak Potential, the career accelerator I founded, I’ve helped hundreds of senior engineers and leaders grow into staff-level and leadership roles. I’ve seen firsthand how the right mix of mindset, mentorship, and strategy can unlock careers – and change lives. Whether I’m coaching engineers to find their voice, scaling systems for millions, or running and scaling a business (yes, I believe in bringing heart to everything I do), I lead with purpose and a deep belief in the potential of people. If you're building the future of tech, growing into your next big role, or reimagining what's possible – let’s connect.
