Leadership
The decisions nobody puts on a slide.
Leadership shows up in sequencing, in what gets stopped, and in whether people feel able to tell you something is off track.
- 01
CDO leadership
What the role actually holds — mandate, budget, sequencing and the politics of a shared agenda.
- 02
Technology leadership
Setting direction with incomplete information, and being clear about which bets you are making.
- 03
Executive decision-making
How decisions get made under pressure, and how to leave a trail your successor can read.
- 04
Governance
Forums that surface reality early rather than confirm the plan late.
- 05
Teams
Hiring, trust, succession and the conditions under which good engineers do their best work.
- 06
Global delivery
Time zones, handovers and the cultural translation that no operating model diagram captures.
- 07
Career lessons
Thirty years of choices — the ones that compounded and the ones I would make differently.
- 08
Managing complexity
Reducing it where possible, absorbing it where necessary, and naming it honestly either way.
