The longer version
I've spent twenty years inside commercial teams — challenging strategies, running campaigns, launching products, brokering partnerships. I've worked with global brands and lean scale-ups. I've seen plans that worked, and plans that didn't. I know the difference.
Here's what I've learned:
The best strategies aren't written by consultants. They're written by the people who have to execute them. My job isn't to hand you a plan and disappear. It's to challenge yours — pressure-test the logic, expose weak assumptions, bring a creative strategist's eye to the angle — so your team walks away with something sharper than they started with, and still their own.
Most founders and CEOs don't lack ambition or ideas. They lack someone who takes the full chain — from challenging the strategy, to bringing the people, to running the execution — and treats it as one job.
So that's what I do. I don't sell hours. I don't write strategies. I sharpen them, bring the creative angle, and organize the outcome.
