About Alan Bollinger

Driving Team Success through Execution and Agile Leadership

Over the last 25 years, I’ve led full-stack web development and guided products through every stage of their lifecycle—from concept to launch. As a hands-on leader, I focus on one thing above all: execution. My passion is helping teams move quickly and effectively, turning ideas into market-ready solutions.

With a leadership approach rooted in Agile methodologies and OKRs, I prioritize balancing team dynamics, handling failures constructively, and fostering open communication for continuous improvement. I believe that respectful collaboration is the cornerstone of any successful team.

Recently, I’ve been integrating AI-driven tools into existing workflows, subtly enhancing team efficiency and decision-making processes. Whether it’s through optimizing product pipelines or driving high-performing teams, my focus remains on delivering results that matter.

Testimonials and References

“Alan was my manager for around three years. In that time he proved to be a compassionate and energetic leader as well as a knowledgeable mentor. Alan led the charge in development of an entirely new product. He assembled an outstanding team of engineers with no ego and with a singular focus on product quality.

Alan was the company's most tireless and steadfast advocate for the product we built together. He brought an uncompromising vision to the table and helped the company navigate the uncertainties of a pandemic and the realities of a fully remote work environment.

On a personal level, he showed genuine concern for his direct reports and was a champion for his team members — always looking out for the best interests of his people and offering a hand up whenever possible.

Alan is a true professional who would make an excellent addition to any company.“
