Innovation sensemaking
Read the present, see the future, make it possible.
I work with leaders, teams, and professionals as they face their next threshold, whether it's personal transformation, technology integration, or both.
Who I Work With
Leaders & Founders at Thresholds
You've built something significant, but it's starting to feel out of sync with what you're becoming. I help you move to the next stage without losing your identity.
Coaches & Mentors Embracing Technology
Any disrupting innovation (like AI) can feel like a mountain you can't see past. I help you integrate technology without losing your humanity—choosing the right tools, at your pace.
Companies Navigating AI Integration
Embracing AI is as much a human as a technological challenge. You need someone who speaks both tech and human. I bridge both sides—meaningful integration that serves your people.
Professionals Facing Decisive Moments
Young leaders, career pivoters, anyone standing at a crossroads. I help you develop the readiness to approach the unknown and transform uncertainty into action.
Innovation Sensemaking
I listen beyond the words.
I ask breakthrough questions.
I explore what's hidden or unknown.
I share stories and insights.
I see connections and futures.
I shape complexity into clarity.My credentials: EMCC Accredited Coach (Practitioner level); ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC); Individual and Organization Certified Coach in Being At Full Potential.
My Story
Developer → Team Leader → CTO → Tech Consultant → Coach → MentorI started 30 years ago with technology. I built systems, led teams, and advised companies. But somewhere in that journey, I hit my own threshold. I realized the most interesting problems weren't in the code—they were in the humans.So I crossed. I became a coach, mentor, and facilitator. I learned to speak the language of human transformation while never forgetting the language of technology.Now I work at the intersection of technology and humanity to create innovations that make sense. I help leaders navigate thresholds, coaches embrace AI, companies integrate technology meaningfully, and teams reignite innovation.I bring engineering clarity to human complexity. Coaching depth to technological change. The wisdom of someone who's made the journey before.Background

with Sujith Ravindran, Elliot Leavy
The seed of my work. A challenge to look inward and explore all dimensions of the self. A non-fiction exploration of how subtraction unlocks real innovation.
