I'm selectively engaged in board, advisory, and operating opportunities. If you have a situation that might be a fit — or want to explore that question — I'd like to hear about it.
Board seats · Advisory board roles · COO and fractional operating roles · Strategic investor relations · Founder advisory engagements
A brief description of the situation — company, stage, what you're trying to solve, and what kind of engagement you have in mind. No deck required. A direct explanation is better.
I respond personally. Typically within 48 hours for initial inquiries.
Note on fit: I'm selective about what I take on because I operate with full engagement — not surface-level involvement. The situations that work best are ones where the challenge is real, leadership is open to honest feedback, and there's genuine work to be done. If that sounds like your situation, reach out.
The business model is working but the narrative isn't. Or the narrative is working but execution isn't. Or the strategy needs a harder look before the next raise or exit. That's the zone where I add the most value.
Not consensus-building. Not rubber-stamping. If the board is willing to hear hard things and management is open to being challenged thoughtfully, the governance dynamic is usually very productive.
Companies where the investor story is muddier than it should be, analyst coverage is thin, or the gap between management's self-perception and the Street's perception is larger than anyone wants to admit.
Not founders who want validation. Founders who want to know whether they actually have a business model, whether their customers care as much as they think, and what they need to stop doing to make the company work.
COO or fractional operating engagements where someone needs to build infrastructure, execute strategy, and be held accountable for outcomes — not just advise from the outside.
