Independent management consultant for Outside's #2 Best Place to Work (Peak Design) - I understand operations deeply, think in systems and patterns, and deeply value company culture Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmakijokela/ Email: firstname dot lastname (without hyphen) at google's most well-known mail service Desired positions: Leading product and engineering teams, open to senior engineering roles (preference for backend/data) with opportunity to move towards leadership as we build trust and rapport. Potentially game-changing in a director role if it's an industry/product that leverages my strengths and experience Priorities re companies:
-Emotionally mature leadership, who understands the value of healthy culture with good work-life balance
-Solid market position and financials
-Doing some form of good in the world. Knowing that my work improves peoples' lives is important to me.
-Stability (I love the dynamism of early stage startups but I'm more interested in stability right now - let me bring my dynamism to your slightly more mature organization)
-Ability to be cross-functional and traverse - I'm at my most potent when I can weave through an organization and create the kind of value you can only see when you speak all of the business and technical languages
-Ability to lead and manage and mentor - I have a lot to share and helping others grow and mature is deeply rewarding to me
-Pay - I'm coming out of a couple years of early stage startups and I want to refuel and re-resource financially for a little while. |
