Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChuck Blake is a pragmatic technology leader and advisor with nine years of formal experience and a 20+ year track record of building products, teams, and go-to-market motion at the intersection of business and engineering. He has led operations and product strategy that turned consulting work into funded SaaS—helping secure $6.8M in fundraising and generating $1.5M+ in DoD SBIR revenue—while hiring and scaling engineering teams rapidly. A hands-on builder and former CTO/co-founder, Chuck specializes in problem shaping, context curation, and architecting AI agent orchestration in the current era, with a keen sense of product taste before markets mature. He excels at operating in ambiguity: negotiating contracts, defining roadmaps, and instituting processes (OKRs, performance reviews, developer relations) that save time and headcount. Based in New York, he remains an adviser to startups like Wallaroo Labs and AgencyDocs, blending executive judgment with a do-what-it-takes execution style. An uncommon strength is his ability to know when not to apply AI agents—balancing technical possibility with pragmatic business value.
