Advisory for Growing Businesses.

I help startups and small businesses determine the right technology for their business, when to hire instead of contract, and how and when to grow what they are building

The practice

Over 14 years leading technology and operational programs for large energy clients and startups. Small and medium size companies face the same challenges as the large ones, without the budget or time for long, bloated consulting engagements.

My approach is guided by responsible planning and spending, not spending your way through a problem.

Engagements are short, fixed-price, and scoped in one conversation.

Flagship: The AI Reality Check

Most businesses are wondering how AI fits their workflow

My point of view is to determine if, and at what level, AI-powered tools fit your business. I use an industry-backed Reality Check adapted to your business before engaging. Once I understand your business operations, we partner together to develop the right AI fit for your business.

How it works

Business & Startup Advisory

The decisions that determine whether a young company makes it

I have served as COO for multiple startups, from foundation through first-wave hiring. I help founders set up entity structures, cap tables, and founder agreements, build the go-to-market plan, size growth to the team and cash they actually have, and negotiate with vendors on their behalf.

How it works

Contact

I take on a limited number of clients at a time, so the first conversation works both ways: you are deciding whether to hire me, and I am deciding whether I can genuinely help your business.

The conversation is free and produces a fixed-price scope.
