As coaches you are very perceptive and a great listener's. You ask powerful questions that help everyone around you to understand and align. You coach me in ways that feel supportive and make me feel like you are truly invested in my success and the team's success. You hold people accountable and call out bullshit in a way that means nobody feels bad.

As my team and scope grew, I knew I needed coaching, but I was hesitant - my first meeting with Andre changed my outlook. He has been a trusted friend, guru, and advisor to me. He has helped me understand my challenges better and find an elegant solution. I highly recommend Andre as a coach to unlock the next phase of career growth.

I have improved my listening skills, my ability to pick up on body language, and how to adapt my approach to fit the group of people that I'm interacting with. Furthermore, I've been able to forge relationships with other colleagues.

I was transitioning the People & Culture team at Tipser to a more Agile way of working and leading a cultural shift within the company to 'conscious candor'. Andre was great at keeping us focused on the topic while allowing for some side tangents that came up - he is skilled at finding the balance of being a sounding board but also being a coach to help you to get real, concrete results where you need them. I cannot recommend working with Andre and PeopleStorming enough!

Coach Spotlight: Andre

Book a call with Andre

A seasoned and dedicated coach who draws on over 20 years of leadership in high-performance, product-oriented technology teams. He got his start as a software developer at an ISP, where he turned his experiences into a technology book.

He was the Director of Engineering for a 400-person engineering team at Riot Games, a core systems team at Facebook, and an advertising product group at LinkedIn. In those roles he led product engineering across many domains and gained deep experience with growing leaders, designing cross-functional organizations, managing performance, scaling development processes, and leading product and technology strategies.
