About

I’m an independent advisor working with founders and leadership teams on business strategy, product direction, investor readiness and building the team to execute.

I take on a small number of engagements at a time and work directly with leadership — remotely, and in person where it is useful.

Services

01

Strategy & Business Planning

Business planning, growth strategy and regular strategy sessions with leadership to set priorities and test key decisions.

02

Product & Technology Strategy

Product direction, roadmap reviews and recommendations on the development and launch of new products.

03

Investor Readiness

Investor materials, pitch narrative and preparation for investor conversations.

04

Partnerships & Team Building

Identifying and evaluating potential partners, hiring strategy, key roles and candidate evaluation.

All services are subject to fit and availability.

Engagements

I consider advisory engagements on a selective basis. Each one is evaluated on scope, fit, availability and commercial terms.

Engagements can be structured as a defined project or as ongoing monthly advisory. Any engagement is subject to a separate written agreement; an initial inquiry does not create a client relationship.

Discuss a Project

For advisory inquiries, please include a brief description of your company, the expected scope, timeline and budget where available.
