I'm accomplished at public speaking and presentation, informed in lean startup principles, experienced at ideation driven by facts, adept at operating in a pre and post acquisition environment, and an expert in managing budgets that range from $100-$1MM. I'm also interested... in pretty much everything. I helped guide the branding and strategy that got a one year old startup acquired for millions, traveled around the world for 15 months on a budget of $1000/month, and currently spend my days working on the next big thing while helping startups build theirs. Whether you're looking for advice on how to build a culture and brand out of an apartment office or what to see and do off the beaten path in Asia and elsewhere, I'm here for you. I'm especially skilled at finding gold nuggets in piles of dirt. In other words, if you don't have an elevator pitch, let's build one.
