Testimonials
Dana Lawson, CTO @ Netlify
“Kirby is an empathetic and inspiring technical leader. During our time together, I've been fortunate to witness Kirby foster a productive and inclusive culture while providing growth opportunities through mentorship and coaching to our technical leaders. With deep experience in the full software development cycle, Kirby has a trained and instinctual knack for helping work through the most ambiguous issues, any team that partners with him is a team that's serious about success!”
Agustin Soler, Strategic Advisor, Cofounder and former Chief Product Officer @ Mural
“Kirby led Engineering at Mural during our hypergrowth period from 2020 to 2022. As the Chief Product Officer and founder of Mural, I enjoyed every day I worked with him. I learned from him how to manage with empathy, ignite significant changes, and empower engineering teams to increase delivery speed while maintaining high quality. During his tenure, we positively changed how we built and delivered software to our customers. More than anything, I found in Kirby a partner whom I could trust, and who made me better in my role.”
Darin Swanson, Execution advisor and interim executive working with leaders at hyper growth startups. Angel investor.
“I have had the opportunity to watch Kirby curate Engineering and Product organizations at several different companies and roles in his career. His foundational principles are ones I would trust building and growing any company on. Kirby has the knack to communicate his ways and means of doing things, knows how to invest to build up current and future leaders, all while inspiring people to focus and work hard to achieve their goals. Especially when the goals are challenging!”
Adriana Roche, Head of Talent @ Uncork Capital and former Chief People Officer @ Mural
“Kirby has a rare combination of being incredibly technical and also a wonderful people manager, which really shone through in our two years working together. Not only did he coach and motivate his team to success, he was a key member of the executive team and often someone I went to for support and brainstorming. He's truly a gem!”
