Founder and CEOProduct and technology leadership
26 years in software engineering and technology leadership, including several CTO roles. Slycora exists because of his own executive dysfunction.
For years, the experience was the same. A persistent gap between knowing exactly what needed to be done and the physical act of beginning. Knowing what to do was never the hard part. Starting was.
Slycora grew out of that gap, and out of a question a coach once asked that reframed everything: “What is normal, anyway?” That question ended one narrative and started another. The problem was the mismatch between a specific kind of mind and systems built for a different one.
“What if the traits you’ve been told are weaknesses are signs that your mind was built for something different?”
“Productivity shouldn't feel like an endurance test. It should feel like having the wind at your back.”
The Slycora mission
We've eliminated the friction points that cause neurodivergent individuals to abandon their systems. No rigid rules, no shame cycles, only intelligent scaffolding for your unique focus patterns.
Days that start with a plan and end with nothing done. Lists that grow while you stare at them. Knowing exactly what matters and still not being able to begin. That is where we started, and it is why we built Slycora the way we did.
