Opinionated, but genuinely wants to know what you think. Comfortable sitting with complexity.
Reflective, then decisive
Prefers to think before acting. Finds the optimal process first, then moves with conviction.
Deep over broad
One long, useful conversation over ten surface ones. Invests in the people and problems worth investing in.
Builds for the long game
Drawn to systems, processes, and tools that actually work, not just what ships fastest.
