How I Help

With over twenty years of experience and $300 million in revenue contributions, I apply the lessons I’ve learned building and growing software and digital media startups from scratch, leading and accelerating growth-stage tech companies with game-changing deals and partnerships, and making my mark at industry giants like Microsoft and Accenture.

Based on need and fit, I engage as an advisor in four key areas.

Business Model Design

Business models

Innovation starts here. We’ll design—or transform—your business, revenue, and pricing models for product/market fit, competitive strength, and durability against the future. We’ll uncover and address hidden assumptions, blind spots, and risks, and then put your models into play.

Messaging

Megaphone

Compelling communication is essential. The perspective to create it can be difficult to find. We’ll craft messages and materials that drive the actions and outcomes you need from customers, partners, and stakeholders. From closing deals to raising capital.

Business Development

Shaking hands

If you want to go far, go together. We’ll design and develop partnerships that complement or complete your products, create distribution to reach the markets and customers you need, and optimize for your strengths, strategic objectives, and revenue goals.

Revenue Growth

Revenue graph

We’ll develop the strategy, channels, and go-to-market plan to get, keep, and grow more customers and revenue—with new or existing products. Then we’ll put it all to work and evolve as we learn.
