Accelerating Innovation into C-Suites of large corporate enterprises..from scratch..no leads. "Special-Ops" role. An extension of your senior management team to close deals with C-Suites. The problem I solve is most technology/solutions providers have no idea how to do this effectively and they mostly follow up on "unqualified leads" never connecting with C-Suites. More importantly, clients lack the skill set to interact with these senior levels while gaining sponsorship to streamline the process through to a transaction. In my model, I become an extension of the client senior management team and am involved with all key steps throughout the entire process while coordinating technical resources when needed. Secure start-up funding (Seed + Series A) with effective long-term revenue plans. Over 20 years of domestic and international sales, strategy, business development and operations experience at venture-backed start-ups. Some start-ups have grown to $100M+ including 2 IPO's and 4 acquisitions while leading operations. Pioneered and scaled multiple disruptive technology and solutions areas that have now become validated markets. Specific areas include AI, deep learning, neural networks, mHealth devices and cloud engagement platforms | Digital health | Big data, analytics | Mobile business and consumer apps | IoT | Medical devices | Enterprise software | Supply chain innovation | Robots | Generated over $100M in new business revenues.

You are an entrepreneur at ideation, pre-seed, seed or series A who has something really great in mind, and need a bit of help bringing all the pieces together. That's what I do for entrepreneurs like you as a resident mentor at 500 Startups I provide strategy for startups (over 1,000 so far) and have designed and built over 300 business models. These turn ideas into a solid strategic foundation for execution and growth. I started my first business the day my wife and I flew across the world to Malaysia. 2 weeks later our first child was born. Then as we started to get everything under control all of customers went bust in the great recession. We had a great business model, but it was 100 years out of date. Ever since I've been helping people find ways to use their business models to gain competitive advantage. Over the years I have created 5 startups, worked at a YC back startup and worked with or at hundred of others. Why? The results - hundreds of great testimonials and happy customers. I know about: - business model design and the business model canvas - value propositions - business strategy - operations strategy - marketing strategy Along the way I've been an engineer, computer scientist, politician, soldier, writer, philosopher, entrepreneur, triathlete, volunteer, changemaker, technocrat and strategist. For fun I study historical entrepreneurship, referee Ironman races, do ultra marathons and plot to save the rainforests. I also make the best bacon in Malaysia What you get from me is a bubbling boiling spring of insights and ideas that will open your eyes and let you see the wood for the trees. I'm great at helping you find an approach that effectively delivers your dreams from your initial concept. Call me :)
