Strategist & Spin Doctor for Startups toTurnarounds. I help businesses reach their full potential.
San Francisco Bay Area
I've consulted for over twenty years (wow), helping companies grow.
For the last 10 years I’ve specialized in turnarounds/start-arounds. Companies with great value.They've just hit wall and must reinvent to survive. There's so much opportunity in these businesses - I appreciate the chance to help them soar again!
I also work with start-ups & early stage clients.I love helping young companies get off ground.I’ve helped 30+ start-ups in company & product strategy, business development/M&A'/channels and market launches.
I also help companies who are humming along.There's always another opportunity just ahead. I help these companies find and capture that next updraft.
This is the 3rd economic down and up I’ve experienced. I have a good handle on how to define and create actionable strategies to drive short term profitable revenue that leads to sustainable growth.
My clients tell me I’m great at identifying opportunities, then creating a strategy to quickly leverage them. You can read about my clients, in their own words, on my website.
Prior to starting my consulting business in 1989, I sold PCM mainframes and software to the Fortune 500, primarily in the financial services and aerospace industries.
I've launched over 100 products and/or companies.
I know how to spin a story that compels prospects to buy.
I understand complex technology.
That's a rare combination of skills. Or at least that's what clients tell me.
I've been exclusively creating strategies, driving market launches and helping fund companies for over twenty-five years. My clients tell me not many people have that depth of focus or level of hands-on experience.

Need your launch to sizzle? Searching for expansion markets?
Seeking to capitalize on your IP? Need funding for growth?
You've come to the right place. Just ask any of my clients.
The bottom line is that I know how to identify and transform your differentiation - your crown jewels - into compelling, customer-centric value that sells.
I've personally helped to define, position and launch over 75 individual products and companies. My clients - technology companies and venture firms - tell me they hire me for my strategic, positioning and go-to-market expertise.
I work with you to quickly identify what sets you apart from the rest– your company experience, your technology, your people. We then map that value to available markets and high-priority customer challenges. We define a winning product and position with the evidence to prove it – then spin a customer-centric story that resonates with your prospects and stops the competition in its tracks.
Horses, horse and more horses. Skiing, kayaking, ice skating, writing novels and business books, gardening and my greenhouse, reading great books, listening to great music - living every moment to the ultimate and smelling ALL the roses along the way!
