I Do Strategy. Differently

Clarity, pattern recognition, and momentum for people building things that matter.

For decades, I’ve worked with founders, entrepreneurs, and organizations to bring clarity to complex challenges—translating vision into momentum, navigating ambiguity, and helping people move things forward.

That part hasn’t changed.

What has changed is how I choose to engage.

I’m no longer chasing scale, retainer work, or conventional growth paths.

These days, I take on a small number of strategic projects when they feel aligned, meaningful, and human.

Where I Do My Best Work

I’m most effective in industries where the product isn’t just a tool—it’s an experience.

Where the emotional, social, and sensory elements matter as much as the functional ones.

That often includes:

  • Hospitality, wellness, or experience-driven services

  • Consumer and creative brands

  • Purpose-led or mission-driven ventures

  • Founders at inflection points or navigating uncertainty

If the work includes shaping how something feels to a customer—not just what it does—I’m in my element.

What I Say "YES!" To

I say yes when the project is:

  • Meaningful. The work matters—to you, your team, or your audience.

  • Murky. You’re not just executing—you’re figuring something out.

  • Human. This isn’t about frameworks for their own sake. It’s about clarity, alignment, and growth.

I’m especially drawn to:

  •  Refining vision and articulating a strategy that sticks

  • Positioning your brand and shaping a value story that resonates

  • Turning messy ideas into momentum and movement

  • Making clear decisions in complex, uncertain moments

How I Work

 

  • No retainers. No slide decks unless they’re actually needed.

  • Sometimes it’s a conversation. Sometimes it’s a map. Sometimes it’s a few weeks of working alongside you.

  • I ask a lot of questions—and help you ask better ones.

  • I bring structure, calm, and pattern recognition.

This isn’t coaching. It’s not full-scale consulting. It’s clarity work, tailored to the moment you’re in.

Still Curious?

If you’re stuck on something big—or standing at a crossroads—reach out.

If it’s not a fit, I’ll try to point you toward someone who is.

I usually respond within a few days. If I’m underwater—literally—I’ll reply when I resurface.
