Book a session
Pick a 30-minute slot.
The calendar is the point of this page. Pick a time that works, then bring whatever is actually stuck. If it is slow to load, use the FreeBusy booking page.
What this is
Office hours are the front door.
Use this when something is stuck. We can work on a decision, a team dynamic, an operating mechanism, a career question, a product bet, or the leadership mess that nobody can summarize neatly in Slack.
The point is not to admire the problem. The point is to name the layer, find the leverage, and leave with a next action.
How Tig uses office hours
Why Tig
You get someone who has actually done the job.
I have spent more than 35 years building products and leading teams at Microsoft, Amazon, startups, Control4, SnapAV, and public-company scale. Office hours are where all of that gets pointed at your actual situation.
Windows-scale execution
I shipped products used by hundreds of millions of people.
Echo, Alexa, and Smart Home
I helped launch Echo and Alexa, then ran Alexa Smart Home while the whole thing was still getting built.
Turnaround systems
As CTO/CPO at Control4 and SnapAV, I rebuilt product and engineering across a 4,500-product company through a merger and public-company path.
Flexible training, not one workbook
Leader of leaders, in-person group training, hiring, product development excellence, Org OS design, and AI catch-up.
How it works
Make the 30 minutes useful.
Bring the messy version
A short description is enough. The real work is usually finding the sharper problem underneath.
Expect direct questions
We will look for facts, incentives, missing owners, unclear dates, trust gaps, and places where the mechanism is weak.
Leave with a move
You should leave with something concrete to try, write, ask, stop, inspect, or decide.
Good topics
Use office hours for the problem you actually have.
Leadership and teams
Trust, accountability, conflict, tenets, operating cadence, unclear ownership, or a team that is working too hard for the results it gets.
Career and role design
Influence without authority, manager transitions, executive communication, scope, burnout risk, or deciding what kind of role you want next.
Product and technology
Strategy, technical bets, product clarity, platform decisions, founder questions, or translating an idea into something an organization can execute.
AI catch-up
Moving from AI curiosity to AI committed, finding safe internal use cases, setting weekly demos, bringing oversight in early, and building a 90-day plan.
Hiring excellence
Role clarity, bar raising, interview loops, calibration, signal, succession, and the hiring mechanisms that make teams stronger over time.
FAQ
A few ground rules.
Why free?
I have been blessed with great mentors and managers. I do not really do nonprofits or standard charity stuff. I give back by helping useful people get unstuck.
Is it confidential?
Yes. What you bring stays between us unless you ask me to share it or introduce you to someone.
Can I book more than once?
Yes. Keep each slot focused, and book another one when a new problem is ready for real attention.
