“If you're looking for a coach who empowers you to find your own way forward, Stefan is an excellent choice. He creates a supportive and non-judgemental space for exploration, guiding you with thoughtful questions rather than providing direct answers.”

Will Paterson - Founder and CEO, EdPlace
“One of the challenges of running a start-up tech business is economies of scale. You’re simply not big enough to have a dedicated CTO and quality is very hard to find. However Stefan is fantastic. He gives us the top-level advice we need and gives us the right perspective. He was instrumental in helping us deliver a dense, complicated and deadline specific project across multiple teams. He has the perfect blend of technical experience, strategic understanding and team/people awareness. I can't recommend him highly enough”
