I help AI-era companies scale without automating away the only advantage AI can't replicate: human judgment and connection. I specialize in remote/distributed operations. Most companies are racing to implement AI. Few are asking what they're losing in the process. I specialize in the question everyone's avoiding: how do you transform with AI without destroying the human capabilities that actually drive profit? I'm a Fractional Executive who's spent 20 years applying behavioral science to business strategy across five continents. My clients aren't looking for generic AI implementation; they need someone who understands that the hardest part of AI transformation isn't technical. It's human. Where I focus: ● Strategic positioning for AI-era market shifts ● GTM architecture that leverages AI without commodifying your offering ● Leadership advisory for executives navigating technological disruption ● Operational design for distributed teams at scale I work with VC-backed scale-ups and global enterprises who are past the "should we do AI?" stage and into the harder question: "how do we do this without losing what makes us valuable?" My approach: Behavioral strategy meets bottom-line rigor. I don't do vision decks that sit in drawers. I build frameworks that turn insight into revenue. Before going fractional, I led operations across multiple continents, built remote-first teams before it was trendy, and learned that business complexity is almost always people complexity in disguise. I typically take 1-3 strategic engagements per quarter. If you're dealing with AI transformation, remote operations at scale, or market repositioning that requires both strategic thinking and execution capability, let's talk. 📩 Open to: Fractional executive roles, strategic advisory, and companies ready to compete on human advantage in the intelligence age. Message me on LinkedIn if you're making moves in Q1.

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.
