People-first, psychology-informed engineering leadership support.
Fractional engineering leadership with a focus on human systems — stabilising delivery, building connected teams, and developing confident engineering managers.
For CTOs, Founder-CTOs, and VPs of Engineering who need leadership support now.
Real outcomes from embedded fractional leadership support
Reduce chaos and firefighting. Create calm, predictable flow with shorter lead times and controlled WIP.
Transform your EMs into self-sufficient leaders who don't need constant hand-holding or escalation.
Build connected, psychologically safe teams with healthy leadership behaviours, reduced cognitive load, and clear communication systems.
Free yourself from operational firefighting to focus on strategy, architecture, and growth.
Maintain stability when internal leaders are overstretched, on leave, or transitioning roles.
Reduce costly attrition through better leadership quality, clarity, and team health.
Improve the people, process, and communication systems that hold engineering performance together. Better alignment, less stress, more clarity.
Flexible engagement models tailored to your needs
Embedded leadership support 1-4 days per month. I focus on the human systems of engineering — stabilising delivery, coaching managers, improving team communication, and creating psychologically safe, connected teams.
Identify bottlenecks through WIP analysis, lead time tracking, and Theory of Constraints. Get clear, actionable improvements.
6-9 session pathway for new or struggling EMs. Build confidence, leadership skills, and practical frameworks in real technical contexts.
Team reset sessions to rebuild trust, establish healthy feedback loops, and create environments where issues surface early.
Interim support during manager sabbaticals, parental leave, or transitions. Keep your teams stable and progressing.
Ongoing coaching for engineering leaders with technical context. Not generic leadership theory—practical support for tech environments.
Every engagement is grounded in three interconnected pillars
Psychological safety, manager development, trust, feedback, and boundaries. Build environments where ideas and concerns surface early.
Flow diagnostics, delivery predictability, WIP control, clarity, and cadence. Reduce firefighting through better systems.
Leadership clarity, strategic alignment, direction, and meaning. Connect daily work to a clear "why" that guides decisions.
Engineering leaders who need experienced support now
You're overstretched, your engineering managers need mentoring, but you don't have bandwidth to develop them while also shipping product and raising funding.
You're scaling fast, delivery is becoming chaotic, and you need experienced leadership support to stabilise teams without adding headcount.
You need leadership continuity during transitions, or want to build stronger EM capabilities across your organisation.
You're a first-time EM or struggling with the transition from IC to manager. You need practical support in a real technical context.
You know your engineering managers need development, but you need a partner who understands technical contexts and human systems—not generic HR training.
