Every engagement is built around outcomes, not hours. Pick the shape that fits the problem.
How I Work
THE SEAT
I take the chair (strategy, technology, or commercialization) inside your organization until the full-time hire makes sense.
FOR
Organizations that need an executive lead now, but aren't ready for the full-time hire.
THE SHAPE
Roughly 2-3 days a week, inside your operating rhythm. Your meetings, your team, your P&L.
YOU LEAVE WITH
A commercial engine being built, and the hiring spec for my replacement.
The Sprint
Two to six weeks on one hard problem, and you leave with a plan you can run without me.
FOR
A pricing decision, a go-to-market, a launch, a deal on the table, a build-versus-buy call.
THE SHAPE
Working sessions, not presentations. We tear it down and build it together.
YOU LEAVE WITH
A plan you can run without me, and the numbers and plan behind it.
The Partnership
I join your operating rhythm: weekly, hands-on, accountable for a number.
FOR
Operators who have picked their number (revenue, conversion, retention) and want it owned.
THE SHAPE
A quarter or longer, weekly, inside the work.
YOU LEAVE WITH
A number that moved, and a machine that keeps moving it after I'm gone.
How it starts
Every engagement starts the same way: one 15-minute working session on your actual problem. Not a pitch, and not a deck about me. If we're a fit, you'll know before it ends.
What I don't do
No junior team behind the curtain; you get me.
No hundred-page decks; you get decisions.
No hourly billing; you get outcomes.
And no engagements I don't believe in, because my name is on the door.
Quietly, I also hold a small number of advisory seats with early-stage sports companies. A few hours a month, an operator in your corner, structured simply. If that's you, say so when you write.
