My Message

Over 15 years, I launched, grew, and sold an Internet business to a large private equity firm. The company, OnSIP, serves voice and video communications solutions to thousands of SMBs. With a background in consulting and an MBA, I took the lead in multiple critical areas at OnSIP, including:

• Business Strategy – Developed a successful business strategy and financial model.
• Finance – Built and led an entire finance function. 
• Marketing – Envisioned and executed an industry-leading inbound marketing program.
• Business Development – Landed vital partnerships, including MSFT and Panasonic.
• Corporate Development – Led the entire process of selling the company. 

Whether you are in the early stages of your business journey, considering a sale or investment, or maybe somewhere in between trying to hack growth, I can help. I’m open to coaching, advising, and investing in entrepreneurs and young businesses. I’d love to talk to you about your opportunity, growth challenges, new product, you name it.

Can I help you?

I’ve worked in all business lifecycle phases, from idea to exit. So if you are considering a business launch, a new growth strategy, starting a new division, or running into growth challenges, I can help. I have relied on intelligent and experienced people for independent advice throughout my career, and I hope to deliver the same value to you.

How do I work?

I’m open to consulting and advisory roles. Most importantly, I will only work on projects that help you achieve your goals. I am honest and will steer you elsewhere if I think someone else is the right person to help or if you need to head in a different direction. I’m looking to have a significant impact on your business in as little time as possible. It is NOT my goal to maximize billable hours!

Current Work

#Business Launch, #Strategy

Problem: Pre-launch, a founder needed a concrete market understanding and a refined customer target for a new SaaS product.

Solution: I created a market testing methodology to allow the founder to understand better who the earliest adopters of the product might be, the value perceived by those early adopters, and a strategy to reach them. 

Recent Project

#Strategy, #Leadership, #Finance

Problem: After several years of limited growth of a SaaS and consulting business, a founder and CEO sought a strategy to accelerate growth. 

Solution: With experience in both SaaS and management consulting, I worked with the founder and CEO to establish a future course for the business, implement a financial model to support a growth phase, and energize the leadership team to focus on the most promising growth opportunities.
