Interests: I look for businesses with strong unit economics, scalable models, and defensible advantages, companies that either generate healthy cash flow today or have a clear, data-backed path to profitability. We are especially drawn to niche DTC brands, recurring-revenue platforms, and profitable service businesses with consolidation potential. I tend to avoid inventory-heavy retail with weak turnover, overvalued pre-revenue startups, and models reliant on single products or channels. Ultimately, I focus on ventures where discipline, scalability, and a realistic exit path are built into the DNA.
Background: I transform uncertainty into clarity by providing bespoke strategy, growth planning, and investor readiness for founders, small businesses, and government entities. Born from banking and strategic operations, we offer hands-on consulting that cuts through complexity without the corporate fluff, whether it’s refining your growth road map, aligning strategy with financial goals.
