Founded a product strategy and research consulting practice built as a reproducible system, not one-off advice. One engine, three stages – research to answer a high-stakes question with rigor, managed intelligence to keep that answer current as the market moves, and product strategy to turn evidence into a direction teams can defend – with 20+ years of senior judgment layered on top. Client results: 3x productivity, 8x cycle-time reduction, and teams shipping within 90 days of engagement.
