I'm an engineering leader with nearly two decades of experience building and scaling technology teams across startups, scale-ups, and enterprises.
My journey has taken me from hands-on software development to leading engineering organizations of 50+ people. I've worked across Italy, the UK, and the Netherlands, giving me a broad perspective on what it takes to build successful technology teams in different contexts and cultures.
Today, I help companies navigate the challenges of growth—whether that's setting up engineering processes, making critical architecture decisions, or building the leadership team needed to scale.
Head/Director/VP of Engineering for growing companies. Get experienced leadership without the full-time commitment, perfect for startups and scale-ups that need strategic guidance but aren't ready for a full-time executive.
Full-time temporary leadership during transitions. Whether you're between CTOs, preparing for a major milestone, or navigating a critical growth phase, I can step in to provide stability and direction.
Strategic guidance on technology, architecture, processes, and team building. Ideal for founders who want a trusted advisor to help think through critical decisions, or investors seeking technical due diligence.
Built and scaled engineering teams from small groups to organizations of over 50 engineers across multiple product areas.
From hands-on development to executive leadership, spanning the full spectrum of software engineering and technology management.
From early-stage startups to scale-ups and enterprises, I've navigated the unique challenges of each growth phase.
Led engineering organizations at scale, establishing processes and culture that enabled sustainable growth while maintaining technical excellence.
Guided companies through critical growth phases, scaling teams from 10 to 100+ while shipping products that drove business outcomes.
Built engineering teams from the ground up, establishing technical foundations and hiring practices that set companies up for success.
Here are some of the challenges I help companies tackle:
Taking teams from 10 to 100 engineers while maintaining productivity and quality. Designing org structures and career ladders that scale.
Building hiring processes that attract top talent. Establishing development practices and team rituals that improve velocity without sacrificing quality.
Designing performance systems that set clear expectations and reward impact. Building a culture of continuous feedback that develops engineers at every level.
Making critical technology choices at scale. Balancing immediate needs with long-term flexibility. Migrating legacy systems safely.
Coaching and developing engineering managers and tech leads. Building the leadership bench needed for sustained growth.
Helping engineering leaders think through AI strategy: where it creates real product value, how to upskill teams, and how to adopt AI tooling effectively.
