Helping Innovative Leaders Navigate Complexity
The hardest strategic challenges rarely fit neatly inside one function, organization, or sector.
I work with executives, boards, and organizations navigating consequential decisions at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and growth — particularly when the path forward is not obvious.

Where I Can Help
-
For organizations facing a consequential decision, new direction, growth opportunity, or period of change. I help leaders clarify the problem, challenge assumptions, evaluate options, and determine what comes next.
-
For organizations evaluating a new opportunity, launching a major initiative, or trying to move an ambitious idea toward execution. I help leaders assess what is viable, identify what has to be true for it to work, and align strategy, stakeholders, and resources around the path forward.
-
For CEOs, senior leaders, and boards who want an experienced outside perspective on complex decisions, organizational dynamics, emerging opportunities, or strategy execution.
-
For challenges that cannot be solved by one organization alone. I help leaders build cross-sector partnerships, align stakeholders with different incentives, and create structures that can move from shared ambition to action.
-
For international organizations entering the U.S. market — and leaders outside the U.S. looking to apply American experience to strengthen their own innovation ecosystems.
A Different Kind of Perspective
My career has given me the opportunity to learn from very different vantage points. Over the past 30 years, I have worked across technology, life sciences, healthcare, corporate strategy, finance, venture, economic development, and executive leadership — from startups to large institutions.
That range shapes how I think about problems.
I connect strategy, people, capital, markets, and execution in ways that can be difficult to recognize from inside an organization. I ask questions, challenge assumptions, and help leaders make sense of complexity before deciding what comes next.
