Open source strategy · AI governance · Ecosystem leadership
I have run both sides of open source strategy.
The engineering organization that ships the product, and the neutral foundation that governs the software underneath it. Most people do one. Twenty-five years in, the work I care about is where those two meet.
How I work
Three ways I help organizations unlock value with open source strategy
Every engagement is practical, hands-on, and focused on results. I am selective, which means the work I commit to gets full attention.

OSPO design and scaling, governance, compliance programs, contribution strategy, and open source risk in M&A. Board-level guidance through to operational build-out.

Have a challenge worth solving?
I take on a small number of engagements at a time. If you are standing up an OSPO, facing open source risk in a transaction, or working out what model openness means for your business, tell me about it.
