Nineteen years of closing enterprise deals and building partner networks, now joined to hands-on AI product development. I set the strategy, direct teams of people and AI agents, and ship software, research and media that people use.
Agents are fast and confidently wrong. The leverage is in the system around them: clear briefs, hard gates and a way back.
01
Frame
Name the user, the job and the number that proves it worked.
02
Spec
Write the brief an agent or engineer can build from without guessing.
03
Orchestrate
Split the work across AI agents and people, in parallel where it is safe.
04
Verify
Test suites, real browsers at phone and desktop widths, and a diff against production.
05
Launch
Preview first, then promote, with the rollback written down before it is needed.
06
Measure
Read what users do, say what failed, and feed it into the next brief.
