I’m Mahesh Guruswamy. COO at Kajabi. Former CTO, CPTO, and Head of Engineering across Amazon, Smartsheet, Kickstarter, and Mosaic. Executive coach. Author of How to Deliver Bad News (Greenleaf, 2025).

I’ve spent twenty years crossing functional lines at the executive level without a roadmap. The Sensible Manager is where I share what I learned, so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way.

I write about org design, decision-making, career transitions, and the leadership assumptions the new era of tech is quietly making obsolete. No fluff. Just the stuff that matters at the level you’re operating at.

I also coach a small roster of senior executives. If you are a senior leader looking for a thought partner on the hard stuff, you can reach me at info@maheshguruswamy.com
