Strategic Guidance for High-Stakes Growth

Behind every great company is a founder (or board) faced with tough decisions, fast pivots, and moments of doubt. I’ve been there—and I still am.

Through my work building multiple companies and advising top-tier leaders, I offer select advisory partnerships for founders and boards navigating the complexities of growth, positioning, and long-term vision.

This isn’t surface-level advice. It’s deep, strategic support from someone who’s built, failed, rebuilt, and scaled.

Areas I advise on

Strategic decision-making

Business model and growth audits

Talent, hiring, and leadership development

Brand and product positioning

Who it’s for

Startup founders seeking clarity during inflection points

Boards and leadership teams needing outside perspective

High-growth companies looking for grounded, actionable insight

I only take on a few advisory roles per year and work best with founders who value honesty, speed, and execution.
