Coaching outcomes

Named coaching engagements.

Alex B.

Promotion at a fintech-data company.

Alex came in stalled for eight years and labeled "technical." Over six sessions across eight months, he reached promotion in the next review cycle, expanded to platform-wide scope, and received a tier-1 offer that he used as leverage. His manager's feedback shifted from "technical IC" to "drives cross-team outcomes."

Brian has provided me with consistent support over months to face my challenges at work. From improving my relationship with key stakeholders, to changing my posture at work, to focusing on delivering value, he has been an invaluable compass to triage through my ideas, understand my shortcomings and act on them. When presented with situations seemingly difficult, he has a unique ability to provide structured and actionable insights translating into quick results. He has been an amazing support and helped me drive my career forward by getting promoted within a few months.

New role as Staff PM at a tier-1 developer tools platform.

I supported Alex through the interview process that landed the next role. Once he accepted, I built a custom First 100 Days playbook for the transition. We established a skip-level relationship early and supported him through 10+ internal 1:1s per week in his first quarter. The engagement is ongoing.

I owe you a bottle of champagne for that role.

Thanks for that advice. That's been amazing.

Consulting engagements

On the record.

CPO at the AI native company BoardLens, a seed-stage strategic intelligence platform for board directors and investors

What I produced: a repositioned product and a single go-to-market roadmap, pivoting a seed-stage board-intelligence platform from single-document reporting to longitudinal intelligence for VC/PE partners, board directors, and capital allocators, converging three competing founder visions into one direction and the competitive-moat thesis behind it.

Before that: Executive Director of Product Management at Disney Streaming, Senior Director at MLB, and a sequence of Product Executive roles at mid-stage companies across B2C, B2B SaaS, fintech, marketplace, and media.
