Who retains me

Startups

that might need help completing a business plan, or launching a prototype or beta for an investor presentation.

Companies

What I can do for you

Assess project viability

My strength is evaluating the viability of technology acquisitions and investments; managing the process of technology related turn-arounds; and developing new products and services.

Devise workable solutions

I am an expert at distilling business requirements into technical requirements, and have the ability to effectively communicate with you, in the languages of both business and technology.
