I help teams and leadership align on complex ideas.

I have been asked to speak at events across the globe to share insights on building delightful and innovative products.

I also run training and intelligence sessions for funds, investors and consultancy firms.

As an advisor, I bring this same clarity to your boardroom, workshops, and team meetings.
