About Tarun Reddy

30 years building, scaling, and leading technology organizations.

I've been leading technology teams since the mid-1990s—across engineering, operations, security, IT, and support. My strong technical background allows me to guide leaders toward the process and architectural improvements that deliver higher quality products, faster, and tightly aligned with customer needs.

Three companies I helped build reached major milestones: SynXis was acquired by Sabre, Rally Software went public and was then acquired by CA Technologies, and Carbon Black went public and was then acquired by VMware. My contributions ranged from product delivery to reducing cost of goods sold to dramatically improving uptime and quality.

Today, I coach CTOs and VPs of Engineering, often at the invitation of their CEO. It can be an isolated role: few people on the executive team see its full depth and breadth, and there’s rarely someone to think out loud with. I give technical leaders a confidential sounding board, and help them delegate tactical work, set clear guardrails, and step into strategic partnership with their fellow executives. For the CEO, the result is a technical leader who contributes to the whole business, not just the technology.

My framework is simple: People, Process, and then Technology—because the most difficult problems an engineering executive faces are almost always in the People and Process realms.
