Advisory

Advisory for people and companies

I build communities that make the right introductions happen. For most of my career I've worked between founders, operators, investors, and enterprise buyers: running Insight Partners' enterprise briefing network, building the introduction system at On Deck, and supporting early-stage companies at an accelerator and venture fund.

Today that work is an advisory practice, for people looking for what's next and for companies that are growing.

For people

Personal advisory for operators, founders, and investors, built on community and warm introductions.

  • Personal advisory

    One-to-one advice on career moves, positioning, and where to focus next.

  • Building community

    Bringing the right people together around shared goals, events, and conversations.

  • Building connections

    Growing a network that is useful, with context on who to know and why.

  • Introductions

    Warm, double-opt-in introductions for people looking for their next opportunity: roles, cofounders, advisors, and investors.

For companies

Hands-on help for scaling startups, enterprise teams, and venture funds.

  • Hiring

    Introductions to top operators and in-market talent from my network.

  • Business development and partnerships

    Paths to design partners, enterprise buyers, and channel partners who need what you build.

  • Advisory

    Go-to-market, operations, and growth advice from someone who has done the job.

  • AI services and implementation

    Scoping, selecting, and implementing AI in real workflows, from first pilot to rollout.

Areas of interest

  • Robotics

    Robotics and physical AI companies moving from pilots into real deployments, and the enterprise buyers figuring out where they fit.

  • Data

    Data infrastructure and the data layer that AI products depend on, and the teams putting it to work inside large organizations.

  • VC partnerships

    Working with funds and their platform teams on portfolio support: enterprise access, hiring, customers, and co-investment relationships.
