I've spent the last decade stepping into broken software organisations and turning them around. Here's what that looks like in practice.
"Frank is refreshing to work with because he thinks genuinely pragmatically. He knows what needs to be done. At Schiphol he was a huge asset during major technical change projects. People respect him for his proactive mentality, honesty, and broad technical experience."
"Frank is a very professional and no-nonsense guy. We closely collaborated on defining the way forward, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I would definitely recommend hiring Frank."
"Frank is a reliable partner. He delivers business-focused reports that make the technical dimension of a company crystal clear. Always enlightening for my clients."
Named engagements with measurable outcomes.

Anonymised patterns from other engagements. If one sounds familiar, we should talk.
80-person B2B SaaS. Features took 6+ weeks. Endless roadmap debates consumed a week per quarter. Cut planning overhead by 80%, shipped a backlogged feature in 2 weeks instead of 6.
60-person SaaS with 47 microservices and one toxic dependency blocking everything. Identified the constraint, time-boxed a fix, cut cross-team coordination from 14 weeks to 5 for affected features.
150-person fintech post-buyout. Clashing cultures and duplicate systems dropped velocity 50%. Key talent fleeing. Unified teams around shared practices, stopped the bleeding, restored momentum.
Common pattern: cycle times drop from 6+ weeks to 2-3 weeks. Cross-team coordination that took months takes weeks. Predictable shipping without the heroics.
Don't wait until it really hurts. Most founders do.
