Partnering with Me
From big picture to ground truth.
I don’t sit on the sidelines. I embed, engage, and help leadership teams focus on what really matters and then execute. From growth-stage startups to global enterprises, I work with founders, boards, and operators to get results where it counts.
How I drive impact. A deeper look.
I’ve sat in every seat that matters: CEO, board member, P&L owner, founder, strategic advisor. I know how to move from an idea to an outcome. I bring a full-stack business mindset and a customer-first approach to every engagement, working side by side with leadership to focus on what matters most, align around it, and deliver.
In the three sections below, I break down how I lead at the executive level, how I help sharpen market positioning and investor readiness, and how I build operational systems that actually scale. Whether I’m stepping in to guide strategy or rolling up my sleeves alongside your team, I focus on what works, rethink what doesn’t, and help you build with clarity, conviction, and confidence.
I come in when an outside perspective or added horsepower is needed to help founders and executive teams reset, refocus, and operate at a new level. That means reframing the opportunity, aligning around the right strategy, and turning it into a clear, executable plan. I bring a full-stack business perspective and focus on helping teams execute what matters most.
Leadership Without the Learning Curve
Global Scale
I’ve led businesses from $400M to $2B, and from $20M to $100M, both to number one worldwide market share
Investor Readiness
I’ve helped raise over $100M across ten companies by building the value proposition, business model, and platform story that investors want to believe in, and be a part of
Functional Depth
I’ve developed deep core competency across GTM, product, operations, finance, customer experience and engagement, and scaling high-performing teams
Commercial Results
I’ve driven billions in commercial outcomes at scale and helped startups reach first revenue, first customers, and first strategic wins
Exits
I have extensive experience with capitalization strategies including fundraising, strategic partnerships, M&A, and IPOs, with over $2B in realized transactions
Customer and Investor Readiness
Great strategy starts with a deep understanding of the problem you're trying to solve and only then, how you solve it. I help leadership teams validate what’s real, reframe what’s possible, and shape the business model, positioning, go-to-market, and customer experience to build real traction. This isn’t about brand polish. It’s about building conviction that travels from early adopters to investors, employees, and partners.
Problem Clarity
Most teams spend 95 percent of their time selling the solution. I help rebalance the equation by rigorously validating the problem and aligning the business around what really matters
Beating Giants
I’ve led customer strategy and GTM efforts that beat global leaders like Intel by building teams deeply attuned to customer needs and how to show up differently
Investor Magnetism
I bring a point of view and a story that makes people want to follow. A passion, a mission, a movement, and a business model they want to back
Digital Engagement Mastery
I created a master’s degree program built on a dozen-plus core competencies in digital marketing and engagement, from first click to purchase to long-term community and retention
Network Effect
I bring an extensive network of operators, partners, and domain experts to close gaps, unlock growth, and drive critical outcomes
The Work Behind the Growth
I’ve led operations from blank-sheet startups to complex global supply chains. Whether launching a first-of-its-kind product or driving multibillion-dollar execution, I build systems that scale with purpose and are grounded in real customer demand, business logic, and operational discipline.
First to Scale
Built a manufacturing platform from scratch at Kovio, integrating novel materials, electronic printing processes, productization, and commercialization
Systems Thinking
Created the AMIR system at AMD to automatically optimize customer demand, inventory, and service, decades ahead of its time
Global Execution
Managed a 3,000-person ops organization and led global factories, foundries, and subcontractors at AMD, enabling record revenue and profitability
Demand Discipline
Deep understanding of customer behavior from macroeconomics to segmentation to business process. At AMD, our Flash memory market forecasting was so accurate that Gartner asked us to review their numbers before publishing
From Scratch to IPO
Partnered with founders at Entropic to build a global supply chain from the ground up, secured preferential access to constrained manufacturing during shortages, and supported IPO-scale growth
If the world were according to me
Strategy wouldn’t live in a deck. It would show up in how your teams operate, how your product sells, and how customers feel.
You’d lead with clarity, build with intent, and scale without losing what made it great.
And you wouldn’t just keep up with change. you’d drive it.
