Executive Program & Product LeadProduct · Delivery · Program leadership
Your vision is moving. Now you need executive oversight and delivery management.
For startups, founders, ministries and leaders already in motion who need someone to come in, run the build, and get it across the finish line.
Ten years as a VP. I’ve led multi-million dollar technology programs for Fortune 500 companies. I’ve also started wellness brands, gyms and ministries from the ground up, and built fitness apps and websites. I bring corporate discipline and founder grit to what God has you building.

What I do, day to day
Three hats. One finish line.
Most teams hire three people for this. I’ve done all three jobs for Fortune 500 companies and for my own start-ups, and I bring all three to your build.
Product Manager
I figure out what to build, and why.
- Discovery with your people and your customers
- Product vision and roadmap
- Requirements and user stories
- Prioritizing what matters most
- Defining what success looks like
Delivery Manager
I make sure it actually ships.
- Sprints, standups and weekly rhythms
- Clearing blockers fast
- Managing vendors and dependencies
- Tracking risks and issues
- Keeping dates and quality honest
Program Manager
I keep the whole picture moving.
- Coordinating multiple teams and projects
- Status reports leaders can act on
- Budget and resource planning
- Rollouts, migrations and change management
- Tying every project to the bigger goal
Where I’ve done it
Two of the largest banks in the world
A Fortune 500 financial services firm
One of the largest private construction companies in the U.S.
A nonprofit that helps find child predators
Wellness brands, gyms, ministries, fitness apps and websites, built from the ground up
What PMO work looks like
The kind of programs I run.
My client work is confidential, so these are illustrative. Fictional projects, fictional numbers, no client names. They show how I run a program: discovery, the plan, and the steering committee.
