Work With Me
How engagements typically start
We start with a short conversation to get clear on what you actually need. Not just the presenting problem, but what's underneath it. I'll ask directly what you want from me, what constraints you're working with, and what success looks like on your end. I'll tell you the same in return: what I need to do the work well, and where my limits are. No engagement starts until we're both aligned on that.
From there, I look at the market, the competitive landscape, the political and financial context you're operating in, and the assumptions baked into your current story. I'm as interested in what's already working as what isn't; strategy built around only fixing problems misses the assets you already have to build on.
What comes back to you is focused, not exhaustive — a small number of issues that are actionable, not a research report. And the conversation doesn't end at delivery: I ask for your feedback within 72 hours so we can move quickly, and I'll check back in down the line to see how the work actually landed.
