Most negotiations don’t fail because people lack training.

They fail because the negotiation strategy is flawed.

I help leaders and organizations create measurable economic value in negotiations by shifting focus from tactics to structure, value creation, and trust.

Through the SMARTnership™ and NegoEconomics™ frameworks, organizations typically unlock up to 42% additional value in commercial negotiations—without damaging relationships or increasing risk.

What I Do Differently

I founded The SMARTnership™ Negotiation Organization to move negotiations away from confrontation and toward collaboration that delivers measurable results.

Our award-winning model, NegoEconomics™, helps organizations uncover value that traditional negotiations miss—often up to 42% additional value by redesigning how deals are structured, not just how prices are argued.

And yes—those results are guaranteed.

What Actually Motivates Me

Titles and trophies are not the point.

What drives me is helping people and organizations achieve more together—not at the expense of others, but with them.
