Open source strategy · AI governance · Ecosystem leadership

I have run both sides of open source.

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 organizations bring me in

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

Strategic advisory

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.
