About Larry
The Coach Who Has Been in Your Seat
17+ years of real tech leadership — not just frameworks, but hard-won perspective from the inside.
Not just a coach. An operator who's lived it.
I spent 17+ years in tech leadership at companies including Amazon, Snap, and IMDb — managing teams, managing managers, advising executives, and building organizations through rapid growth and high-stakes change.
At Amazon, I was a Bar Raiser: trained to evaluate talent across the entire company, calibrate hiring decisions, and uphold the highest bar in every interview loop I joined. As a hiring manager throughout my career, I've conducted over 1,000 leadership interviews and have a deep, calibrated sense of what separates good candidates from great ones.
The work I most wanted to do as a leader — helping senior people overcome what's holding them back and step into the impact they're capable of — is the work I now do full-time.
I'm an ICF-credentialed executive and career coach (ACC) and hold the Certified Executive Coach (CEC) designation. What I bring to every engagement is a blend of strategic vision, real tech industry expertise, and human-centered coaching — because my mission is to help leaders rise to the pivotal moments that define not just their careers, but the lasting impact they create for their teams and organizations.
Five Perspectives I Bring to Every Engagement
Most coaches have one vantage point. I have five — each one sharpening the guidance I give you.
A trusted advisor to senior leaders navigating high-stakes decisions — organizational challenges, executive presence, team design, and leading through ambiguity at scale. Backed by ICF (ACC) and Certified Executive Coach (CEC) credentials and a structured coaching methodology built for sustained impact.
Interview Bar Raiser at both Amazon and Snap — training interviewers, joining loops across the company, and helping teams uphold the highest hiring standards. I know exactly how top tech companies evaluate talent.
I made hiring and promotion decisions throughout my entire career, conducting over 1,000 leadership interviews and developing deep intuition for what strong leaders look like at every level.
I have coached hundreds of professionals through high-stakes interviews, career pivots, and promotion bids — helping them present the most compelling, authentic version of themselves.
I advise startups on organizational design, scaling teams, strategic AI adoption, and product and technology roadmaps — keeping my coaching grounded in where the industry is heading.
