Growth and sustainability. Speed and rigor. What the market wants and what the moment demands. The strategies that hold don't pick a side. They find the shape that carries both. Whether you're starting from a blank page, restarting a strategy that stalled, or picking up the pieces of one that didn't work, the hard part isn't the idea. It's getting every function, every stakeholder, and every priority aligned behind it. Pull up a chair with me and let's build the version that finally lands.
Recent client work, and a portfolio of applied research and venture design.
Strategy and research for Simudyne, whose agent-based simulation engine runs at HKEX, LSEG, Barclays, and SGX, now aimed at enterprise supply chains. Built the regulatory demand thesis, developed the use cases where profitability and sustainability outcomes move together, and contributed to the TAM and enterprise ROI models used with partners including Kinaxis and Genpact.
Nine projects across new-venture design, transformation, ecosystem strategy, and integrated policy. Click any project to open the full case.
Every engagement starts with a real conversation about what you're navigating. From there, we pick the shape that fits, from a focused workshop to an ongoing advisory relationship.
A focused one- or two-day session to map where the opportunity fits your business, surface the right first moves, and leave you with a clear point of view. Best when you know the direction matters but aren't yet sure where to begin.
Fractional time on a defined engagement, whether days, weeks, or a few months. I work alongside your team to build the program, choose partners, and put cadence and governance in place. Requires at least one internal owner driving the motion.
The tangible outputs: partner strategy, value proposition, program frameworks, recommendations, and research you can act on after the engagement ends. When you need the artifact, not just the thinking.
Getting a product or service launched on the right technology partner's marketplace, paired with a narrow, well-defined go-to-market and a plan to put it in front of the right people.
The full sequence, run as one engagement. It takes a company from "we should partner" to a live, launched motion with a narrow value proposition and a plan to catalyze it.
A 30-minute call to hear what you're working on, what's making it hard, and whether I'm the right person to help. Free, no pitch, just a real conversation.
A short written proposal covering the shape of the engagement, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. Usually within a week of the intro call.
Signed agreement, kickoff call, and the work itself, with regular checkpoints so you always know where things stand and what's coming next.
Final deliverables, a working session to walk through them, and everything you need to carry the work forward.
Global alliances and partner ecosystems, built and run at scale inside the companies that depend on them.
Strategy work at the intersection of what works, what lasts, and what's next.
I've spent my career learning to hold two things at once. Growth strategies that don't ignore what they cost the world. Sustainability plans that don't ignore what they cost the business. Big ideas that don't ignore the twenty smaller ideas they depend on.
The strategies that hold are the ones where those things fit, and my work is helping teams find that fit, whether they're starting from a blank page, restarting something that stalled, or picking up the pieces of a plan that didn't land the first time.
I most recently worked with Simudyne, a London-based enterprise simulation company, on strategy and research for their supply chain intelligence platform, the same agent-based simulation technology used at HKEX, LSEG, and Barclays, now aimed at enterprise supply chains, Scope 3 compliance, and network resilience.
I'm currently building an independent practice around the questions I care most about, and I'm selective about the work I take on.
"The opportunity is not just in the model. It's in finally unlocking and connecting what we already know, so that insight can turn into action."
The best conversations start with a real question worth working on. Tell me what you're navigating and what's making it hard. I read everything and reply personally, usually within a couple of days.
