Pre-Sales Consultant

Hi, I'm Karsten.

I like diving deep into complex topics and finding the hidden order that keeps things together.

One of my most amazing side hustles was the Ph.D. thesis in communication science I wrote over the course of nine years developing a theory about the situational influence on decisions about media use. I dug through 1000+ sources and had to organize my findings as I sometimes wrote about my insights years after gaining them.

In my professional career, I have been responsible for IT systems for 20 years in roles such as product owner, sales rep, and consultant both in small and large organizations. Developing and handling IT systems is a matter of organizing information too.

I'm a pro at structuring, organizing, and sharing information. Not only in academics but also the business world. I've conducted market research for mobile phone manufacturers, medical devices, and software companies. The results were used for communication, sales, negotiations, and due diligence processes.

Sharing effective and efficient methods and developing tools is my passion. I'm working on, writing about, and consulting on gathering market information and handling it efficiently, especially for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and small teams who need to be efficient.

Can I help you too? Let's get in contact to discuss ways to work together.

Tristan Kelley, CFA

As part of a recent restructuring at Newell Brands, my role was eliminated. I’m grateful for the impact I made over the last two years; from managing FX exposure and cash flow strategy to supporting capital markets initiatives and improving treasury operations.
I’m now open to new roles in Treasury, Capital Markets, FX Risk Management, ALM, or broader finance roles where I can bring my experience in financial modeling, liquidity strategy, and cross-functional leadership.
If you know of opportunities or teams hiring, I’d truly appreciate any leads or connections. Happy to connect with anyone working in these areas or share more about my background.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out already I'm excited for what’s next.

I’m open to roles in the DC area, NYC, or remote.
