- 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 shredding the slopes in Durango, CO. I have a legacy of two amazing adult kids. Catch me skiing, biking, reading, or geeking out over anything that moves electrons or makes noise.
