BIG IDEA STRATEGIST WHO LOVES THE DAY-TO-DAY GRIND OF GETTING IT DONE

I’ve always been fascinated with stories about brilliant people who come together to do something profound and long-lasting. This fascination, an obsession really, has driven my quest to find the perfect place to tell stories that move people to take action.

For most of my career, I’ve been a rebel, the geek advocating for less marketing-speak and more raw human-centered interactions that make people stop and take notice. I believe stories are the most powerful but most underutilized human-technology available to organizations. Wherever I’ve been I’ve urged stakeholders to take a chance and tell a story.

But...storytelling isn’t enough. Over the last 23-years, I’ve watched brilliant ideas fail due to poor execution. This is why I am equally obsessed with getting sh*t done. Details, timelines, budgets, briefs, contingency-planning, constructive conflict, and thick-skins are the ingredients of world-class execution. Everyone that has worked with me, will point to my comprehensive execution ability. Great stories deserve no less.

When we meet, you will notice that I like to listen. I’ll ask about your product, your team, and your processes. I’m looking for problems to solve and stories to tell. Let’s get started.
