Former engineering leader and manager with a track record of delivering both customer and business success while empowering and growing new engineering leaders. While I’m a firm believer in channeling a growth mindset, it is insufficient on its own; it must be paired with consistent self-reflection to understand more deeply the nested systems in which we operate and how our actions ripple out into them. That requires leading from an unshakable sense of internal locus of control, strong personal agency, and an orientation towards a high level of caring for uplifting outcomes for stakeholders.I view my primary role as that of an educator, challenging others to think more critically about the world, their place in it, and the role they are and could be playing. Through that questioning, I work to develop capacity in people and teams to make contributions of increasing scope and value to the systems in which they are nested, to evolve themselves into ever better versions of their unique selves. After 22 years in tech, I'm using the disruption of 2020 to pivot my efforts to shifting outcomes for education systems.
