Carlos G. Staff Software Engineer, AirBnB

“As someone who was feeling confused, disillusioned, and almost burnt out in my Big Tech career, I found my sessions with Tim to be very valuable! Tim has had a breadth of experience in the tech industry, so he knows what it feels like to be in those shoes. Personally, Tim has not only helped me adjust my mental framework towards work, but also align work with greater values in life. He has comfortably challenged me to learn more about myself, why I hold certain beliefs, and figure out how to apply the learnings to work and life. I highly recommend a conversation with Tim if you need some guidance!”

Tim has helped me explore new dimensions of my career, particularly in people leadership and potential business ventures, while building on my existing experience as both an individual contributor and a technical leader. His background in tech, with experience in software development, leadership, and business, gives him a rare perspective that's especially relevant to the path I'm carving out for myself.

I'm grateful for his insight and support, and I look forward to continuing to turn to him for thoughtful feedback and guidance as I grow.

“I reached out to Tim as someone outside his typical client base, and despite this, he was incredibly generous with his time and very considerate. We discussed the evolution of the tech industry, and his experienced perspective was valuable during a transitional time in my career. Being able to bounce ideas off of him and receive his honest, upfront responses was very helpful in reframing some of my approaches - opening the door to new ideas and understanding certain basics. If you're looking for someone who will meet you where you are and engage thoughtfully, Tim is worth talking to.”
