I help senior decision-makers cut through complexity - turning multi-source data into research that directly moves C-suite, board-level, and investor decisions forward.
I am a Senior Research & Strategic Intelligence professional with 14+ years of experience delivering high-stakes research for global clients across the US, UK, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia. My work spans competitive intelligence (service mapping, marketing-channel and go-to-market analysis, competitor thought-leadership tracking, and leadership and organisational profiling), due-diligence-style research, investor analysis, market and industry research, survey-based insight generation, and research-backed business-development assets such as case studies and service-offering decks. I have deep expertise in extracting strategic signals from public and regulatory filings — including 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 20-F and DEF 14A to understand how companies really operate and communicate with the market. For eight years, I worked in PwC's Global Research & Insights practice, progressing to Manager and leading multidisciplinary research teams on international mandates that informed C-suite, partner-level, and board-level decisions.
What I bring to every call:
▶ Deep expertise in structuring competitive intelligence and market‑intelligence projects—from research design and scoping to executive‑ready deliverables and decision decks.
▶ Proven methodology for investor‑grade company analysis, including interpretation of filings (e.g., SEC/Companies House), financial narrative building, and strategic positioning assessment.
▶ Experience managing due‑diligence‑style research for M&A, PE, and VC‑backed transactions across emerging and developed markets.
▶ Practical knowledge of ESG disclosure expectations, sustainability‑related intelligence, and how to integrate ESG into a credible investor or client narrative (moderate depth, not legal advice).
▶ Big Four business‑development experience: partner pitch support, case‑study and win‑story development, service‑offering and capabilities decks, sales playbooks, and research‑backed sales enablement content (battlecards, one‑pagers, and executive presentations).
▶ Cross‑border research experience across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia, giving you a global view of how buyers and investors evaluate markets and competitors.
▶ Deep familiarity with research databases and primary/secondary research methodologies, helping you choose the right tools and approach for each question.
Who I typically speak with:
▶ PE and VC analysts who need structured due‑diligence‑style research, competitive‑landscaping support, and clear risk/opportunity mapping for business and portfolio decisions.
▶ Founders and CEOs who need focused market research, competitive intelligence, and strategic clarity to shape launches, pivots, or fundraising narratives.
▶ Strategy and management consultants who want a research‑methodology sounding board or support in building and scaling an internal research function.
▶ Professionals who want to understand how Big Four research practices are structured and how to replicate that standard in their own context.
▶ Business-development and marketing leaders at professional services firms who need research-backed content — pitch decks, capability statements, and case studies, that wins mandates.
On a call with me, you can expect:
▶ Direct, structured answers grounded in real‑world Big Four research practice, not theory.
▶ Practical frameworks and approaches you can apply immediately to your current deal, market question, or research challenge.
▶ Honest assessment of where your current research or due‑diligence process has gaps, and concrete ways to close them.
▶ Guidance on research design, sourcing strategies, and database/tool choices that fit your constraints.
