About
Great to meet you, I’m Butler Raines.
About Me
I'm Butler, a product leader, coach, and advisor focused on helping people and teams grow, make smarter decisions, and build work that matters.
My journey through sobriety has shaped how I approach leadership and coaching, emphasizing clarity, reflection, and resilience. I'm currently writing a book about my path to sobriety.
I began my career as a chemistry teacher before moving into software and product leadership, including roles as Head of Product at SalesLoft and VP of Product & Engineering at Ambition.
I've done a lot of things. I've coached founders and young professionals, advised startups, created a cryptocurrency, and co-founded The Bitter Southerner, bringing a mix of strategy, execution, and people-first thinking to every project I dive into.
Ashtanga yoga and stoicism have been central pillars to my practice of focus, discipline, and mental clarity, all of which are lessons I apply in my work, leadership, and recovery.
I live in Chattanooga with my wife, our cat Thomas, and our dog Maggie. When I'm not diving deep into work or a personal project, we're often found on a tropical island enjoying the sun.
