Why Tagni?

Built when the work
demanded a clearer approach.

Tagni started as a personal practice, became a consulting framework, and is now a platform. Here's how it got here.

The name

Tagni means "father of twins."

The word comes from the Bamileke tradition, spoken in the western highlands of Cameroon. It carries a specific weight: duality, responsibility for more than one, building something that has to hold two paths at once.

I have twins with my Cameroonian partner. The name wasn't chosen for the brand. It came with the territory.

Two paths converging. Two states (chaos and clarity) and the real work between them. Responsibility that requires a plan. That meaning runs through everything here.

The paired marks, the two-column rhythm, the before/after framing: all of it is a quiet nod to that original meaning. Not a logo exercise. A philosophy.

The work

12 years of helping people and teams get unstuck

My background spans Agile coaching, product management, team facilitation, process improvement, delivery leadership, and business translation across healthcare, technology, financial services, and nonprofit sectors.

The through-line in all of it: I'm good at walking into a stuck situation: a team that's spinning, a product that's drifting, a backlog that's out of control, a business with ideas that aren't moving, and finding the clear line through the noise.

Not by adding more process. Not by writing a 40-page playbook. But by asking the right questions, listening carefully, and translating ambiguity into something you can act on tomorrow.

That's the work. Tagni is the practice I built around it.

Why this, why now

Fatherhood changes how you think about work.

Not because you have less time (though that's true too), but because it raises the stakes of doing things intentionally. You stop accepting "busy" as a substitute for progress. You start asking what you're actually building, and whether it can stand on its own.

Tagni started as a personal practice of building planning systems for my own work: ways of capturing what mattered, cutting what didn't, and making sure the most important things got done. Over time, it became a practice I did with teams. Then a framework I offered as a consultant. Now a platform I'm building into tools, templates, and engagements that other people can use.

"The goal was never to become a guru or a framework vendor. It was to build a practice that helps overwhelmed people find the clear line through the noise. And then move."
How I work

What you can expect when you work with Tagni

Practical over theoretical

I don't lead with frameworks. I lead with questions. The frameworks come out when they're useful, not as a credential display.

Plain language, always

No jargon for its own sake. If I catch myself using "synergy" unironically, something has gone wrong. You deserve to understand what I'm saying.

Outputs you can act on

Every engagement ends with something tangible. A plan, a prioritized list, a decision document, a rhythm design. Not a report you file away.

Honest about fit

If your situation needs something I can't offer (a clinical coach, a financial advisor, a specialized consultant), I'll tell you that. I'd rather lose the engagement than waste your time.

Let's figure out what you need.

Whether it's a team reset, a life clarity session, or just a conversation about where to start: the first step is a call.
