A founder who moves fast on strategy and slow on trust — in that order.

I think out loud, decide quickly, and need people who can keep up without losing the nuance.

Directness as aggression. High standards as unrealistic. Silence as disapproval.

Clear expectations, fast decisions, and real credit when things go well.

Self-starters who flag problems early and don't wait to be managed.

I set the tone with investors, designers, and new hires. This card is that tone.
