👋 You’re a brilliant engineer.
You’ve mastered the code, earned respect, and now you’ve been promoted.

Suddenly, the job isn’t about solving technical problems.
It’s about leading humans.

That’s where many engineers struggle.

Meetings go quiet.
Decisions bottleneck.
Delegation feels awkward.
Imposter syndrome creeps in.

What made you successful - technical mastery - suddenly isn’t enough.

If you’re a CEO or CTO, you’ve seen this story play out:
Your rockstar IC gets promoted... and flounders.
You risk losing both a great engineer and your leadership pipeline.

👉 That’s why I created coded2lead — coaching for engineers making the IC → leader leap.

With 20+ years scaling teams and shipping software, I’ve lived both sides.

Today I help engineers:

•  Build trust
•  Read the room
•  Run meetings people actually speak in
•  Stop accidentally becoming bottlenecks

In other words:
I help engineers become trusted leaders.

✨ My approach blends systems thinking with emotional intelligence.
Leadership isn’t just what you say — it’s what you train every day.

If you or your engineers are navigating this transition, let’s talk.

I build highly productive, high morale teams in data science and data engineering with experience across engineering and product functions. I'm a hands-on leader specialising in joining startups with small existing teams struggling to get results and turning them into productive value focused powerhouses. I believe in:

• Deep understanding of the business context, client problems, and the solutions we are creating.
• Moving quickly: building MVPs to evaluate solutions and deliver value fast.
• Self awareness, continuous improvement and pragmatism.
• Trust, nurtured through feedback, retrospection and accountability.
• Psychological safety, so teams can take risks and innovate.
• Candour: not shying away from difficult discussions to achieve the best outcomes.
• Operating across a high dynamic range, from big picture strategy through to execution.
