Work Experience

23 Years Consulting Experience With Businesses Large and Small. B2B & B2C Business Development For Complex, High-Tech Products & Services.

I’ve worked with businesses large and small, from startups to the enterprise. I’ve lead, managed, and worked with others on countless projects. I help companies, leaders and teams get clarity on goals, objectives and challenges, create and implement transformation agendas,  and see these through from thought to profit.

Education & Certificates

My education is multidisciplinary, unconventional and adaptive – as am I. During Covid Lockdowns, I went and deepened my formal education so it could more closely match my self-taught skillset. built on real-world experience and being a constant bookworm. 

As an interdisciplinary, cross-functional polymath and continuous learner, I've covered a wide array of subject matter. I've grouped the various relevant experiences based on business themes to make it easier to understand.

ESG Risks and Opportunities

University of Pennsylvania

Note/ Spoiler: I gave ESG a chance here's the truth:
ESG is non-performative, inherently discriminatory, and does not add consistent value to firms. It does consistently demonstrate material and cultural harm to the bottom line, continuity, and integrity of organization. I cannot say enough bad things about this clearly politically motivated, unhuman, marxist concept, both as a harm to business strategy and humanity.
