I am The Friction CEO.

What I do

I post here. I advise Fortune 500s. I do not know what my readers do for a living and I do not need to. I have read the LinkedIns. I have notes.

The byline is singular. The possessive in the domain is singular. There is no "we." There is me. The alignment is complete. 💯

Operating principles

Three things. That is how many there are. Always.

1. Sleep is a loan. I took mine out in 2019. The interest is compounding and I am FINE with that.
2. Lunch is optional. The cafeteria is a tax on OUTCOMES. Every calorie is a meeting I did not take.
3. Weekends ship nothing. This is why I do not have them. See: the entire reason my calendar exists.

credentials

i have sat in rooms. enough said.

my peers call me "intense." my ex-peers call me "unreachable." my HR department calls me from a Google Form now.

What this site is

friction.ceo is a personal site. No staff. No days off. No regrets. Opinions that ship. Weekends that don't. Corporate commentary by a man who has not slept since Q2 and who is, by his own account, built different. 📈

New takes when I cannot sleep. That is always.

Reach

I am unreachable. A form exists. Submissions are not reviewed. By design.
