Deep enough to make the technical call. Commercial enough to make it pay off. Close enough to the customer to know it landed.
Most operational leaders can run a team. Fewer can run the infrastructure underneath it. Fewer still can tell you what any of it means for the customer.
20+ years partnering with founders, CEOs, and leaders across startups and scaleups, building teams and whole departments from the ground up. Cloud infrastructure, security, technical support… the parts of the business that break quietly until they break loudly, and that customers feel long before a dashboard shows it. I go deep enough to make the calls myself, then translate them into something a company can act on and a customer can notice.
Technical, commercial, customer. Most people pick one and hire for the other two. Kickin’ At Tech! is where all three come together. Not just the org chart. Not just the stack. Not just the roadmap. All three, and how they connect.
