Career
From national sales to enterprise growth to building my own.
Capability matrix
Where to find the proof.
Ten projects, seven capabilities. Dots mark what each project proves; the brass ring marks its primary capability.
Selected work
Ten projects. Four institutions and my own firm. One through-line.
How I work
Three habits, every engagement.
Diagnose with data
Baseline the funnel, the field, and the numbers before prescribing anything.
Pilot, then scale
Prove it with one cohort and a scorecard before asking the enterprise to move.
Make adoption the metric
A launch is not a result. Usage, consistency, and funded accounts are.

Noticed by the industry.
