HOW CAN I SUPPORT?
A non-exhaustive list of ways I can facilitate your organization’s ecosystem.
Human Experience
’Humans’, over simply ‘Users’ — Developing technology, products, or processes side-by-side with the brains that make your operation function.
Scaling Strategy Augment & test your strategic thinking, team structure, and find break points as you grow.
Consumer Packaging
Provide informed guidance on packaging design & material lifecycle
Systems & Data Optimization
Design or enhance digital (and analog) systems that serve as the core of your operation — touching sales, operations, finance & accounting. Allowing balanced & useful information to flow smoothly between teams and systems.
Operations & Financial Modeling Building (or testing) a financial or operational model that can be used to compare high-level and integral decisions for your business
Sounding Board Tap me as an external partner to help test assumptions and mitigate bias. Gain an objective & balanced perspective for big decisions.
I’ve worked with core founding teams, ran departments of 40+ FTE, and built systems for companies that are achieving $5M up to $100M+ Annual revenue today.

SOME WORDS ON MY APPROACH
I won’t assume I have all the answers. Yet, I have the tools & network to find them (or those that do).
I bring a diverse industry perspective, scrappy optimism, and pragmatic execution to help teams build structures that work alongside their technological ecosystem—not against it.
To achieve that, I work to actively solicit varied feedback from people at all levels—especially field, floor, soil level— while also having a read on useful emerging technologies. I feel that this flywheel of communication is key to building resilient, holistically beneficial tools and teams.

I enjoy finding the symbiosis between technological infrastructure & human insights. Well implemented systems can provide the knowledge and tools needed to make better decisions and thrive through adaptation.
Personally, I admire the brands & people who are serious about the benefits of technology, give a damn about the world, are conscious of their impact in the communities they serve, and love what they’ve built.
