As a startup founder and CEO, and public company exec, Tina was one of my most trusted advisors.  Good managers solve hard problems.  Tina goes one step further.  She builds trust and digs into the personal whys (she is one of the most authentic people I've met) but is also pragmatic – she prioritizes the company first, followed by the team, then the individual.  This gave us a deeper understanding of our business and helped us make better decisions.

Who you are

As the company grows and the team scales, you want team members to maintain a deep connection to end users, a sense of urgency and ownership that is present at early-stage startups. Whether you’re a year or a decade out from the founding of the company, it will take a mental shift to operate with the scrappiness if your team is accustomed to executing against a clear roadmap.

Working together we can accelerate the way your team operates helping you and the team gain confidence that they are able to understand the needs of end users and navigate ambiguity to ship quickly.

By learning and iterating fast, finding product-market fit for new features and products might not be so unlikely.
