Chip Aubry

Chip Aubry is a senior technology and product leader who helps teams ship the right product — and scale it with confidence. With decades leading engineering and platform initiatives, he coaches founders and product teams on turning ambiguous ideas into validated roadmaps, resilient systems, and measurable outcomes.

What He Brings to Uptales

• Product Strategy to Delivery: discovery, prioritization, roadmap design, and execution rhythms
• Platform & Scale: pragmatic decisions on build vs. buy, APIs, data, cloud, reliability, and cost
• Team Performance: org design, hiring bars, rituals, velocity, and quality gates that actually hold
• Outcome Focus: KPIs, experimentation, and feedback loops that tie product work to business results
• Stakeholder Alignment: translating between execs, product, design, and engineering to keep momentum

Focus Areas

• Zero-to-one product definition and MVP scoping
• Roadmapping, sequencing, and ruthless prioritization
• Technical due diligence for features, vendors, and integrations
• Reliability & scalability: SLAs/SLOs, incident playbooks, and observability
• Data foundations: analytics you can trust for decisions and growth
• Operating cadence: sprint health, review rituals, and decision hygiene

Working Principle

“Great products are built at the intersection of clear choices, crisp execution, and reliable systems.”

How Engagements Work

• Assessment → Plan: fast read on product, tech, and team; identify blockers and leverage
• Operating System: implement cadences (standards, reviews, incident & release practices)
• Coach & Uplevel: pair with product/engineering leads; establish durable habits and metrics
• Deliver Results: ship priority outcomes and leave a team that can sustain them
