Built when the work
demanded more structure.
Tagni started as a personal practice, became a consulting framework, and is now a platform. Here's how it got here.
Tagni is a Bamiléké word that means "father of twins."
It was personal before it was professional.
I first heard the name through my partner, who is from Cameroon. It carries a specific kind of weight: responsibility, duality, and the work of holding more than one thing at once.
The name became real for me when our twins arrived.
That timing mattered. Tagni became a way to name the kind of work I wanted to do: bring clarity to chaos, help people make clearer decisions, and move with more intention.
So Tagni was never just a brand name.
It became a way to describe 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.
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."
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.
