About Coach Jordan Larrigan

Coaching, to me, is like gardening. Growth takes time and care. Feeding what you need, pruning what doesn’t serve you, and watching you bloom into your full potential. I’ve been where you are: stressed, unsure, even isolated. I coach because no leader should have to feel alone.

​

For over 20 years, I have led engineering teams at companies like Stash, Tagboard (as CTO), Myspace, and Medsphere. Now, I coach engineering leaders like you to achieve that aspiration, unlocking your full potential and accelerating your career journey.

The 90-Day Executive Accelerator

From Manager to Strategic Executive: A 3-month intensive to rebuild your leadership system.

​

Over 90 days, we don't just talk about problems; we build the roadmap for your next level of leadership. This is high-touch, highly strategic, and designed to shorten your feedback loops.

​

Why Work With a Former CTO?

  • Zero Learning Curve: I’ve managed the budgets, built the teams, and reported to the Board. You don’t have to explain "technical debt" or "sprint velocity" to me.

  • Neuro-Inclusive Coaching: As an ADHD coach, I specialize in helping leaders build systems that work with their brains, not against them.

  • Outcome-Obsessed: We focus on the metrics that matter: retention, delivery speed, and your personal peace of mind.

"I was already a Senior Engineer and acting as a tech lead, but I wanted to become a more effective leader for my team and prepare myself for future management opportunities. Jordan's coaching was exactly what I needed. He provided pragmatic guidance on everything from improving team communication to navigating challenging technical disagreements. His experience as a CTO was invaluable, he's been there and understands the real-world pressures we face as engineering leaders. Because of his coaching, I'm now a stronger and more confident lead engineer, better able to guide my team and contribute to the broader engineering organization. I highly recommend Jordan to any senior engineer looking to enhance their technical leadership and overall leadership skills."
