Ten years running a company means every function lived from the inside: strategy, people, boards, sales, marketing, product, and fundraising. The breadth isn’t a positioning choice; it’s what accumulates when you actually build things over time. I’ve experienced the hard problems, not just studied them.
If my philosophy on how companies get built resonates, reach out. The conversation will tell us both whether there's a fit. The form of engagement, if we get there, depends on what's actually useful to you.
01
The transition from builder to leader to CEO is not automatic. Organizational design, inflection points, the gap between how you see yourself and how your team does.
02
The best strategy is usually simpler and harder than the team wants to admit. Could, should, must: get to the essentials.
03
Talent is the only moat that compounds. Build hiring systems, create culture through infrastructure, and manage performance consistently and fairly.
04
Distribution is the problem most founders underinvest in. Go-to-market across consumer and enterprise, with and without capital.
05
Elite operators think in systems. I bring process architecture, operational leverage, and root-cause diagnosis over symptom treatment.
06
I've been on boards as an operator and as investor. Most failures are in communication. Get it right, quickly.
Each engagement is different. The form depends on what’s actually useful to you.
Ongoing strategic partnership for founders and leadership teams. Pattern recognition, decision support, long-term alignment.
Sessions for teams working through something hard. I design and run it; you leave with clarity.
Consulting
Project-based work on a defined problem. Clear scope, clear output, clear end date.
Coaching
1:1 development for founders and senior leaders at inflection points or navigating blind spots.
AI for Executives
Workshops and strategy sessions for leadership teams bringing AI into their operations.
Looking for an investment or board conversation? That’s on the Investing page. The thesis, the check size, and the founder profile I look for are all there.
Don’t optimize for a polished ask. Tell me what you’re working on, what’s actually hard right now, and what kind of support would help. That context matters more than a perfect pitch.
