How I Work
Three focused practice areas. Every engagement starts with a clear scope and defined deliverables — no vague retainers, no open-ended advisory.
AI Strategy & Advisory
You already know AI matters. What you need is a clear framework for where it fits in your product, what it genuinely costs to build right, and what your organization must change before the investment pays off.
- Structured assessment of where AI can generate real business value — not where it’s technically possible, but where it’s strategically right
- LLM integration roadmapping: use cases, build-vs-buy analysis, risk assessment, and phased rollout planning
- AI readiness audits for executive teams: what your organization needs to change before AI investment pays off
Example: Identified and led LLM integration that directly contributed to $3M in VC funding.
Software Architecture Review
Most technology debt doesn’t announce itself — it accumulates quietly until it becomes a growth ceiling. I review your architecture from a business perspective: what’s holding you back, what’s a real risk, and what can wait.
- Architecture assessments for CTOs and technical founders who need an outside perspective on scalability, technical debt, or build-vs-buy decisions
- System design review prior to major investment, rebuild, or acquisition due diligence
- Evaluation of existing tech stack against business goals — written for executives, actionable for engineers
Example: Architected systems that scaled to 10K+ users and supported enterprise-level client acquisitions.
Product Management Advisory
Roadmaps built around features rarely generate the outcomes executives expect. I help product organizations align strategy to business outcomes, build the cross-functional habits that make execution predictable, and develop the leadership capabilities that let great teams scale without losing focus.
- Product strategy and roadmap development aligned to business outcomes, not feature lists
- Go-to-market strategy, customer onboarding design, and retention frameworks
- Cross-functional alignment coaching for product, design, and engineering teams
- Fractional CPO engagements for companies that need senior product leadership without a full-time hire
Example: Drove 250% revenue growth and tripled company size as a hands-on product leader.
How Engagements Work
Every engagement starts with a clear scope and defined deliverables. I don't do vague retainers or open-ended advisory. You'll know exactly what you're getting: a strategy document, an architecture review memo, a roadmap workshop, or a training program — with milestones and outputs agreed upfront.
I write for executives: no jargon, no 80-slide decks, no recommendations that require a technical background to act on. My deliverables are designed to be presented to boards, used to make real decisions, and handed to teams to execute.
Available for: project-based engagements (1–4 weeks), short-term advisory blocks (5–10 hours), and ongoing fractional work.
