// About

Former Top Strategy Firm Partner.
Now fully independent.

I spent 10 years at a global strategy firm, the last three as a partner in the EMEA growth practice. I left to build a more focused, higher-quality practice working with fewer clients on problems I find genuinely fascinating.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. I don't just write the slide deck — I stay engaged through implementation and help teams make the hard decisions when the plan meets reality.
