What I Offer
Through Kindel Leadership Development, I help executives and teams achieve outsized results. I’ve founded startups, led high-performing orgs at Microsoft and Amazon (think Internet Explorer, Windows Media Center, Alexa), and turned failures into lessons. My coaching blends decades of hands-on experience with practical tools to help you:
- Build and align teams that deliver.
- Ship products customers can’t live without.
- Navigate complexity with clarity and confidence.
I offer free, open office hours—no strings attached—to talk leadership, tech, or even my wilder dreams, like helping humanity become a spacefaring civilization. Schedule a Free Session.
Who I Am
They call me Tigger (or Tig) because I’ve been bouncy since day one—my sister’s nickname for me as a baby. After 30 years as ‘Charlie’ in the corporate world, I reclaimed Tigger because it fits: I’m a nerd who dives in, whether it’s coding (github.com/tig), fixing classic BMWs and Datsuns, or skiing near my home in Durango, CO. I have a legacy of two amazing adult kids, and am now a grandfather! Catch me skiing, biking, reading, or geeking out over anything that moves electrons or makes noise.
