What I actually do
This is a working profile, not a brochure. I help companies and startups solve the growth problems that don't have an obvious answer — the messy, first-of-its-kind work where there is no playbook yet.
Whether you are a startup finding your footing or a large company trying something new, I move into the problem and find the leanest way through — a finance degree, fifteen years across very different fields, and a bias for the shortest path that still solves the whole thing.
