Available for consulting & full-time roles

I help people and teams automate the tedious parts of their work so they can focus on what actually matters.

Product leader and operator turned AI workflow consultant. I spent 15 years building teams and shipping products. Now I help people reclaim their time by automating the repetitive stuff that eats their week.

Problems I actually solve.

I'm not going to tell you I've run billion-dollar P&Ls. I'm going to tell you what I'm genuinely good at.

01

Your people are capable. Something's just creating drag.

Unclear ownership, too many meetings, decisions that don't stick. It's rarely a talent problem. I help teams find the hidden friction and remove it.

02

You're building a product org from scratch

Hiring your first PMs, setting up rituals, figuring out what "agile" actually means for your team. I've done this multiple times and can get you to a working rhythm fast.

03

AI should be saving you time but isn't yet

You've played with ChatGPT but haven't crossed the gap to real workflow automation. I help people find their highest-ROI automations and actually build them.

04

You're shipping in a regulated industry

HIPAA, SOC 2, enterprise procurement. I've spent years building products inside compliance constraints. I know how to keep shipping without cutting corners.

05

Your pilot worked but can't scale

The demo was great. Customers loved it. But turning a proof of concept into production is a completely different problem, and one I've solved 20+ times.

06

You need someone between strategy and code

Too senior for hands-on engineering, too operational for pure strategy. I translate business goals into roadmaps engineering teams can execute.

I care more about the team than the title.

The best work I've done has never been about my job title. It's been about building conditions where people do work they're proud of.

01

I start by listening

Before I change anything, I need to understand why things work the way they do. I talk to the people doing the work, not just the people managing it.

02

I find the real bottleneck

It's rarely what leadership thinks it is. The standup that wastes 40 minutes. The approval chain nobody questions. The handoff that drops every sprint.

03

I fix it with the team, not for them

I don't swoop in with a framework and leave. I work alongside people to build habits and systems they'll actually maintain after I'm gone.

04

I stay until it sticks

Whether it's consulting or full-time, I don't move on until the new way of working is genuinely embedded, not just announced.

Where I've built.

The through-line: building teams in complex environments and helping them ship.

The tedious stuff that eats your week? Let's automate it.

I work with you one-on-one to find the workflows burning your time, then build automations that actually stick. You still drive. The machine handles the busywork.

01

Status Updates & Reporting

That Monday morning report that takes 90 minutes? Let's get it to 12. I'll show you how to pull from your existing tools and draft it automatically.

02

Email & Follow-up Triage

Sorting, prioritizing, drafting responses. The inbox doesn't need to own your morning. We build a system that handles the predictable stuff.

03

Meeting Notes to Action Items

You leave a meeting and everything discussed evaporates. I set up workflows that capture decisions and put them where your team actually looks.

04

Proposals, Briefs & Documents

First drafts from templates, discovery notes, or previous work. The writing still needs you, but the blank page problem disappears.

Honest disclaimer: I can't automate everything. AI still needs a human in the loop. But I can usually find 5–15 hours per week of work that doesn't need to be you.

Book a Free Call

Let's figure out what you need.

Whether it's a team that needs unblocking, a workflow that needs automating, or a role that needs filling, I'd like to hear about it.

Not sure where to start?

That's fine. Most of my best conversations start with “I'm not sure exactly what I need, but here's what's going on.” Tell me the situation and we'll figure it out together.
