I work with leaders who need go-to-market systems and AI to actually compound — not pilot, not slideware, not vendor parade.
Most engagements start the same way: a CEO, CRO, CDO, or board member asks a version of "what does it cost us to not do this?" That question — the Cost of Doing Nothing — is where my work begins. Read the CODN framework →
Engagements are delivered through Stravonvale, the advisory firm I co-founded with Josh Carter.
Three engagement shapes
Fractional advisor — 3 to 9 months
Embedded in your leadership team, 10 to 20 hours per week. Best fit when you're rebuilding a go-to-market motion, standing up an AI program, or the existing team needs senior pattern-matching, not another headcount.
Equity-eligible for venture-stage. Direct Slack and email access — no gatekeeping.
Transformation sprint — 6 to 12 weeks
Defined deliverable, fixed scope. Best fit when you have a specific build — agentic outbound stack, CODN business case, ICP refresh, RevOps rewire, AI lead-scoring agent, AI-native measurement layer — and a deadline.
Outcome-priced or scope-priced.
Expert call — single session, 60 to 90 minutes
For founders, PE and VC diligence teams, or peer executives who need a gut-check on a specific decision. One-time engagement with a written summary deliverable.
Available through GLG, AlphaSights, Guidepoint, and Third Bridge — or directly.
Who I work with
- B2B SaaS — Series A through public, where the GTM motion is the company
- Enterprise retail — Tier 1 through Tier 3, including specialty and DTC
- CPG and retail-adjacent manufacturing — global brands and emerging challengers
- Private equity and venture firms — portfolio diligence, GTM efficiency audits, fractional placement during growth-stage transitions
Stage fit: $5M ARR through public-company scale.
What to expect
- Thirty-minute discovery call. No commit. We figure out whether the work fits.
- Written engagement brief. Before any work starts — CODN framing, success criteria, deliverables, cadence.
- Artifact-driven progress. Weekly deliverables, not weekly status calls.
- Direct access. My Slack, my email, my calendar — not a coordinator.
- Independent advice. I take no vendor referrals or affiliate dollars. The recommendation you get is the one I'd run myself.
What I won't do
- Slideware-only engagements
- Vendor-financed advisory work
- Pure body-shop fractional roles where the work is execution-only with no strategic latitude
- Engagements where the answer is preordained and the consultant is hired to launder it

Stack and methodology
I run the stack I advise on. Production fluency in Claude (Code, API, MCP), n8n, Supabase, Clarify CRM, Reply.io, Clay, HubSpot, Stripe, Vercel, plus 35+ MCP-connected services running in active client engagements.
Where the market is moving in 2026: Production LLM deployment, context engineering, AI cost optimization, AI governance. These are the four skill areas the AI labor market is repricing fastest — and the four I build against in every engagement. Compensation now correlates with production experience, not tenure; this is the work I'm hired to do, not the work I describe.
CODN — Cost of Doing Nothing — is the methodology I use to frame investment decisions, governance reviews, and program prioritization. Read more on the CODN framework →
