About

I help organizations turn analytics, AI, and innovation into measurable business outcomes.

With 17+ years across decision sciences, management consulting, and B2B SaaS, I work at the intersection of business transformation, value engineering, and go-to-market execution. My core strength is not just selling solutions—but designing how they should be sold, positioned, and scaled.

I am strongest in presales leadership and enablement:
building high-impact presales teams, shaping compelling value propositions, structuring ROI-driven narratives, and aligning sales, product, and delivery around real customer problems. I also work closely with partners—enabling them to sell, co-create, and win effectively.

Beyond enterprise consulting, I actively advise scale-ups and build micro-SaaS and AI-driven products, applying the same rigor: market clarity, value articulation, and execution discipline.

What I typically work on:

  • Business & digital transformation initiatives
  • Analytics and AI value engineering
  • B2B sales & presales strategy
  • Partner and ecosystem enablement
  • Opportunity engineering & funnel optimization
  • Innovation, business model & design-thinking workshops

My focus is simple: sustainable growth through clarity, data, and execution.

If you’re building, scaling, or re-thinking how value is created and sold—happy to connect.
