Involvement

Where I get involved

I am not a standing advisor.
I get involved at specific moments where position is at risk.

During my years at ServiceNow and Snowflake, I worked directly with Frank Slootman at key moments - then CEO at ServiceNow and later CEO at Snowflake - and saw his operating discipline up close: simplify the direction, raise the standard, hold position under pressure, and keep execution tied to strategy. Those lessons still shape how I work with companies today.

Typical situations

Post-funding, but no breakout
Stalled growth despite strong activity
Pre-exit, but narrative or multiple unclear
Market entry with capital at risk
Teams already have AI, tooling, and activity - but no real movement
Decisions are delayed, fragmented, or made at the wrong level

What happens

Category risk is exposed
Problem is reframed
Leadership is aligned
Decisions are forced
Delayed decisions are surfaced
Wrong direction is stopped

This is temporary.
In. Fix. Out.
