Life is about choices and tradeoffs. This is especially true when building new things. I have spent the better part of my career helping people build new things, be it products, businesses, or rehabbing old houses. My expertise is in helping people make these tradeoff decisions when budget, resources, and time are at a premium, and let’s face it, they always are! While each product and industry is unique, there are common patterns and scenarios that trip people up when investing in new and maintaining existing products. I have lived through many of these scenarios and am passionate about helping people avoid or minimize them and their impact on your business, customers, and most importantly - your employees. I am also passionate about transformations and a lover of 'Before and Afters,' constantly driven by the impact of meaningful change. However, I understand that transformation takes time. I am well-versed in getting started, aligning on desired outcomes, identifying which steps to take first, and building frameworks to keep the team on track to achieve stated business goals.I have been fortunate to facilitate the creation of many new products during my career, which has given me a deep understanding of balancing existing commitments with the desire to lean into the future and focus on differentiation. This is the work I enjoy most. I love helping teams incorporate deeper market, buyer, user, and technology insights into R&D planning to ensure their products evolve as the market shifts.Whether mentoring a team, advising a startup, or refining a product portfolio, my goal is to create impactful, lasting change that benefits both the organization and its people.Let’s Connect!
