• Software Engineering Management - whether you are starting a team from scratch, or growing a team, I can help. Creating an environment that promotes productivity and that provides proper respect for your talent enhances all aspects of product delivery.

I have led these sorts of activities at many companies, and including activities in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
