Here's a quick bio on me, so you can decide if you'd like to explore a founder+advisor convo with me:

You can find my LinkedIn profile here and my personal blog here

• I'm Chairman of the Board and the Founding CEO of Armory
  • As CEO of Armory, I scaled and led the company to over 100 employees through Series C, raising $83M. I was one of the inventors of this patent on Continuous Software Deployment.
  • Armory helps the world unlock innovation through software. It has large B2B enterprise customers, including JPMorgan Chase and Autodesk, as well as progressive "born in the cloud" customers like Snap, Glovo and Scopely. Armory has a number of other Fortune 500 & Global 2,000 enterprise customers and a strong partnership with Amazon Web Services.
  • Armory is commercializing an OSS software delivery project out of Netflix & Google called Spinnaker. We started on the outside of the project and now lead it (lots to talk about there!)
• I'm co-creator of FounderCulture along with Sue Odio, a People & Operations leader in a high-growth startup

💡Sue and I sometimes coach startups together. Here's an example:Foundation of "How to Win:" Translating Your Vision & Mission into Strategy and OKRs

Interested in having me as your Advisor or CEO/Founder Coach?

I limit my available Advisor slots to ensure I can add value to the companies I advise and to protect my time. I also ensure a strong fit with the CEOs and companies I advise. Text/email me if you'd like to talk and I'll advise you on my availability.

As an advisor, I can be most helpful with:

• Setting & scaling GTM strategies, especially around companies commercializing OSS projects (i.e. Go To Market (GTM) )
• Fundraising from seed through Series C (i.e., Fundraising )
