The question that reframes the room.
My edge is pattern recognition: I've led the product, the deals and eventually the entire company, owned the P&L and now invest — so I connect dots across the whole business that most people miss. I'm direct, I move fast and do my best work in a t-shirt and hat, not a suit and tie.
I find the one move that changes your trajectory — and help you make it.
One operator who's been in the seat.
The next curve of growth, and the partnerships that unlock it.
Rebuilding legacy companies around AI — by design, not under duress.
Developing the operator, not just the business.
How I think, in my own words.
A garden sun map, agents earning their independence and a client's automation hub. The system, not the hype.
Intelligence is becoming infrastructure — and you can't rent a moat. The scarce asset is organizational intelligence.
It's not failing because the technology isn't ready — it's failing because the organization isn't. I've seen this movie before.
Conversations, in my own voice.
With Jeff Adamson — when everyone has the same AI, you win on brand trust, proprietary data and frictionless experience.
Narrow AI vs. AGI, and the test that separates a trend from a tectonic shift: ask what it can't be applied to.
With Greg Sterling & Mike Blumenthal — marketer plus machine, and why vertical data beats horizontal models.
My best work is with teams at a growth inflection, a transformation they can't see around or an AI-first rebuild they know is coming.
If that's you — let's talk.
