Let’s find your
next move.
30-minute call. No pitch deck. No discovery questionnaire. Just a direct conversation about where you are and whether there’s a fit.
Reach out directly.
No contact form. No auto-responder. You reach me, I respond.

Best for project scoping, NDA requests, or anything that benefits from a paper trail.

Best for warm introductions or if you’d like to see the full background before reaching out.
Response time: All inquiries are read same-day. Non-urgent responses within 24 hours. For time-sensitive situations — active M&A process, board meeting in days — say so in the subject line and expect a same-day response.
What to include.
The more specific your first message, the more useful my response. Here’s what helps:
The decision you’re facing
Not the background — the actual question. “We have a board vote on an AI acquisition in 6 weeks” is more useful than “we’re exploring AI strategy.”
Your timeline
When does this need to be answered? Timeline shapes everything — scope, depth, engagement model, even whether I’m the right fit.
What you’ve already tried
If you’ve already done an internal analysis or had a consulting firm in, I don’t need to cover the same ground. Tell me what exists so I can build on it.
Budget signal (optional)
Not required, but helpful. If I know the rough budget envelope, I can propose the right scope rather than guessing. No judgment on size.
What Happens Next
From first message to first deliverable.
Most engagements move faster than people expect. Here’s the sequence.
Day 1
You Reach Out
Email or LinkedIn. Include your decision context. I read it same-day.
Day 1–2
Diagnostic Call
30 minutes. No prep required. I learn your situation; you decide if there’s a fit.
Within 48 hrs
Scoped Proposal
One page. Deliverables, timeline, fee. Take it, adjust it, or pass — no pressure.
Week 1–2
Work Begins
Kick-off, hypothesis set, first working document. We move fast.
