As a practical-strategist specializing in competitive strategy, I have the unique ability to create and translate a strategy into a realistic execution plan that derives relevant outcomes and solves problems. I do this by applying my breadth of experience in business development, marketing, international trade, sales operations and a 15 yr tech career in Silicon Valley as well as incorporating geopolitical and political influences.I have repeatedly throughout my career been visionary in identifying the next big market shift or industry transition early in the lifecycle, and have acted quickly to capitalize on the opportunity by creating a competitive strategy and optimized position for a company or for government organizations. My unique knowledge set is the intersection of technology innovation, geopolitics, global affairs, which serves a range of stakeholders from private sector firms to national government agencies – the importance of which has manifested as of late with the heightened global trade dynamics and national security concerns. I am also a speaker, thought leader, educator on innovation, digital transformation, 5G, generative AI, global competitive strategy, China trade challenges, geopolitics & supply chain risks, emerging markets.

I connect the dots between politics, economics & business outcomes. See advisory input to UK Parliament S&T Committee.
