Steady

Steady is the autonomous team coordination platform revolutionizing modern work.

The average knowledge worker spends an astonishing 23 hours each week on coordination tasks—meetings, context-switching, and chasing information—rather than the work itself. This “coordination tax” drains productivity, diminishes work quality, and contributes to burnout and attrition.

Steady cuts the coordination tax and reverses the downward spiral of productivity, quality, and engagement. It runs in the background, automatically distilling plans & progress from tools, teams, and people into tailored summaries that give everyone the clarity they need to make fast decisions and outstanding products.

Designed for today’s complex work environments—where information is fragmented across tools, schedules, and human silos—Steady seamlessly integrates into your stack, delivering speed-to-impact instantly. It transforms how organizations coordinate, multiplying capacity and capability without increasing complexity.

At its core, Steady implements Continuous Coordination, an open-source framework for high-performance knowledge work. This proven methodology promotes structured, asynchronous communication loops, empowering teams to make informed decisions and achieve alignment without constant interruptions.

Cofounder and Principal

I've been building digital products and leading software teams for almost three decades. My experience includes engineering and product leadership roles in all sorts of organizations, from bootstrapped businesses and venture-backed startups to publicly traded companies. 

Over the years, I've been lucky enough to work, fail, and succeed with world-class creatives, engineers, marketers, and execs. I deeply understand what it takes to efficiently align people behind inventing, developing, scaling, and cultivating exceptional software products.

Today, I'm harvesting this experience to build and grow Steady, a simple approach to asynchronously coordinating work for software product orgs. Steady implements an open-source set of principles for modern knowledge work called Continuous Coordination, which I helped to create with my colleagues at Steady and other tech leaders.

Here's your LinkedIn "About" section written in Seth Godin’s style—clear, engaging, and designed to attract recruiters and position you as a thought leader in AI, digital transformation, and product leadership.

🚀 Product Leadership | AI Innovator | Digital Transformation
The best products aren’t built. They’re shaped.
Shaped by people who see around corners, connect the dots before they exist, and turn chaos into clarity.

I don’t just build products—I architect movements.
Movements that change how teams work, how businesses scale, and how industries evolve.

At Wallow, I didn’t just create another product management tool. I reimagined the way teams solve problems, embedding AI, Generative AI, and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to reduce friction, predict issues, and automate workflows before they break.
📌 30.9% faster task completion.
📌 25.1% reduction in issue resolution time.
📌 500+ teams globally using the system to move faster, smarter, better.

Before Wallow, I was doing this at scale.
At UBS, I led a $10M DevOps transformation, moving 18,500 employees to Agile.
At BNY Mellon, I integrated AI and blockchain to make settlement 50% faster.
At Pitney Bowes, I scaled global e-commerce operations, driving a 15% revenue increase.

My playbook?
🔥 Data, AI & Automation: What gets measured, gets optimized.
🔥 Radical Collaboration: The best products are built by empowered teams, not lone geniuses.
🔥 Customer-Obsessed Thinking: Technology means nothing unless it solves a real pain.

Why am I here?
I’m looking to shape what’s next. Not just incremental change, but market-defining transformation.
If you're building something bold, something that shouldn't exist yet but needs to—let's talk.

📌 #AIProductManagement – Highlights your expertise in AI-powered product strategies.
📌 #GenerativeAI – Helps recruiters find AI leaders driving next-gen innovation.
