About Me

Background

My career hasn't followed a straight line—and that's the point. I've co-founded a direct-to-consumer brand, launched software products, and invested in a restaurant concept. I've also led as CEO through culture transformation and a successful exit, built M&A integration capabilities that became repeatable and scalable, and stepped into distressed portfolios as a turnaround leader.

What connects all of it is an obsession with how organizations actually work—the gap between the org chart and reality, the incentives that drive behavior, the systems that either enable or prevent execution. I've seen these patterns at every scale, from three-person startups to 1,000+ person enterprises, and the underlying dynamics are more similar than most people expect.

Philosophy

I believe that most organizational challenges are structural, not cultural. Fix the structure—clarify roles, align incentives, streamline decision-making—and culture follows. I don't believe in grand visions disconnected from execution. I believe in making things work.

Why Work Together?

I bring operational rigor, strategic pattern recognition, and the ability to see systems clearly when others see only chaos. If you're navigating growth, transition, or complexity—and you need someone who understands both strategy and execution—I can help.

I'm most useful when organizations need someone who can see the full picture and translate that perspective into decisions that move. I help leadership teams cut through noise, build lasting structure, and move forward with confidence.
