Engineering Leadership

Royal Marines discipline meets Silicon Valley strategy.

I prevent the engineering disasters that kill growing companies:

• Scale chaos - your teams double but velocity halves
• Talent drain - your best engineers burn out and quit
• Constant fire-fighting - every sprint turns into crisis management

Over the past decade, I’ve applied military precision to technology leadership:

• Scaled teams from 10 to 187 engineers across 14 countries
• Drove $3.25B in enterprise value creation
• Delivered 70% infrastructrue cost savings ($2MM+ annually)
• Sustained 96% retention rates while accelerating delivery.

Recent win: Series B fintech reduced deployment time from 6 hours to 15 minutes while cutting infrastructure costs 40%—without a single engineer working weekends.

Who I help:

• Founders and CEOs/CTOs in Series A-C startups
• PE-backed executives under growth pressure
• Technology leaders navigating hyper-scaling and culture risk

How I work: I act as an advisor, operator, and coach to build engineering organisations that scale without breaking.
