Open source strategy · AI governance · Ecosystem leadership
The world's most critical software runs on open source. Your strategy should too.
I help companies, foundations, and government bodies build open source strategies that reduce risk, accelerate innovation, and create durable competitive advantage. Twenty-five years at the front of global open source ecosystems, and the scar tissue to prove it.
How I work

Every engagement is hands-on and outcomes-oriented. I am selective, which means the work I commit to gets full attention.

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.
