Marcus Andrews
VP Engineering · Northbeam · 6-month engagement
Burned out running a team he didn't design.
Inherited 40 engineers through acquisition. Running standups his old boss's way. Avoiding 1:1s. Losing two strongest tech leads.
Runs the org on his terms — and has his evenings back.
Restructured to four pods with clear owners. Weekly 1:1s. Promoted at-risk lead. 40→24 hour weeks.
