I help leaders turn brand into their most powerful lever for growth. For more than three decades, I’ve operated at the intersection of strategy and competition, guiding Fortune 500s and high-growth startups to create brand advantage. My work spans industries from technology and finance to luxury, healthcare, and CPG. I've advised companies like Coca-Cola, Verizon, and Walmart, as well as VC-backed disruptors from Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, and Google Ventures. As Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Fazer, I've pioneered De-Positioning, a hard-strategy methodology that renders competitors irrelevant by solving customer pain points better than anyone else. I believe differentiation is dead. In today’s hypercompetitive markets, white space disappears instantly. The new era of marketing is the era of problem-solving. Dominant brands like Apple prove this repeatedly. They win not by chasing difference, but by solving customer pain points with relentless clarity and discipline. This is the true engine of market dominance. At Fazer, we work direct-to-leadership, helping executives sharpen their competitive position in markets where rivalry is relentless and advantage is fleeting. De-Positioning is the framework that turns brand into a system of advantage. It's a discipline that unites business, brand, marketing, and sales into one strategic force. I am the author of "De-Positioning: The Secret Brand Strategy for Creating Competitive Advantage", which codifies this methodology into six principles for building brands that don’t just compete, but control the terms of competition itself. We live in a new era where brand is not a marketing function. It is a strategic lever for growth, trust, and leadership. The companies that embrace this truth will define the future of their industries. The rest will be de-positioned.
