My Advisory Philosophy

A strong advisory relationship is built on trust, clarity, and shared context. I work best with founders and teams who want a thinking partner to help pressure-test decisions, highlight blind spots, and make progress on what matters most. I help untangle what feels messy, ask the right questions, and keep the focus on what will drive the business forward. Most of my advisory work falls into 5 to 20 hour per month retainers depending on the level of support needed.
