I've spent my career building product organizations that deliver growth at scale. Eight years as CPO at ZipRecruiter, Series A through NYSE, $100M to $900M in revenue. President at JobGet through profitability and three acquisitions. CPTO at Swing Education, where I cut costs 50%+ with a full AI transformation.
Now I run Gauges Green, a small practice out of Mexico City and Los Angeles. I work with two or three companies at a time. I clarify the strategy, write the narrative for the board and the team, and then ship against it in the same quarter. When the work is done, I help hire my replacement and walk away clean.
This year I built an AI operating layer called Andale that changed how I work with clients. I type a client codename and a dedicated Opus session opens injected with my entire vault of context about that company. Meeting transcripts dating back to our first call, every email thread, Jira tickets, product analytics. Nothing else. No cross-client bleed. That vault refreshes every five minutes. By the time I sit down the morning after a four-stakeholder call, the complete picture is already assembled without opening a single app.
I catch things a fractional working from memory would miss. A commitment made in week two that's now three days overdue. A product metric that shifted 40% since the last session but nobody flagged it. Customer feedback from a transcribed QBR that no one else caught.
I've been building it in the open. 37 entries and counting.

If you have a portfolio company that could use an experienced operator alongside the founder, I'd enjoy that conversation too.
