Engineering Coach

Head of Global Engineering, State Street (Charles River Development)

About

I'm a global engineering executive and leadership coach with over 25 years of experience scaling organizations, launching enterprise SaaS platforms, and driving transformation across financial services, healthcare, and enterprise technology. I've led global teams across North America, Europe, and Asia, and built a career on the belief that the most important thing you build isn't products - it's people.


As Head of Global Engineering at State Street, I led a team of 450+ engineers supporting mission-critical investment management platforms, contributing to a 35% revenue increase to $630M and 70% growth in assets, while managing a $90M engineering budget and expanding the team by 50%. At Cisco, I led organizations of 250 engineers, co-authored an Agile playbook adopted company-wide that delivered 6x productivity gains for some teams, and helped build platforms that reached the #1 market share in their category. I also successfully integrated five acquisitions and led the development of next-generation products across multiple technology transitions. At Cisco, I built a high-performing team that dramatically improved product quality and employee satisfaction while leading the transition from premise-based to cloud SaaS architecture.


As a coach, I work with professionals who want to become the kind of leaders people love to work for and organizations trust to deliver. Having spent decades mentoring engineers into managers and managers into executives, I understand firsthand the challenges my clients are navigating. My style is empathetic and developmental, grounded in real-world experience, and equally focused on results and execution.


Clients leave our sessions with clear direction, renewed confidence, and steps they can act on immediately.


When I'm not coaching, you'll find me on a bike trail, exploring what AI can do next, or crafting PowerPoint slides that are - genuinely! - works of art (ask me, I'll show you). I bring that same eye for craft and love of continuous learning to every coaching relationship. I’m always up for a great conversation about leadership, life, or the pursuit of the perfect slide.
