I’ve spent my career at the intersection of innovation, capital, and execution — building companies, leading teams, and working inside the real pressures founders face when vision meets reality. Over two decades as a founder and CEO, I’ve operated in the difficult middle terrain where promising technologies either break through or stall.
Today, I work as a Venture Architect, partnering selectively with founders, investors, and boards at critical inflection points. My focus is helping align capital, strategy, and execution so complex ventures can move deliberately from early promise to durable scale.
I work most often with:
• Venture-backed founders navigating the path to commercialization
• Investors evaluating technically complex opportunities
• Boards facing consequential inflection-point decisions
• Emerging companies crossing the commercialization valley of death
My approach is grounded in operator experience, financial discipline, and long-horizon thinking — not trend-chasing or surface-level advisory.
If you are building something that matters, you’re in the right place.
I work alongside founders, investors, and boards at moments when companies reach consequential inflection points — when the next move will materially shape the venture’s trajectory.
My role is not to provide generic advisory or step into day-to-day operations. I work at the level of venture architecture — helping leadership teams clarify the structural constraints of the business, redesign the path where needed, and deliberately sequence the moves required to build durable scale.
This is hands-on business building, not surface-level guidance. Engagements are typically focused and situation-specific, most often beginning with a Strategic Review and, where appropriate, deepening into ongoing involvement as the company executes its next phase of growth.
