Multiple Companies

After a decade in the CEO seat I am exploring new possibilities and expanding my horizons. 

I partner and consult with founders and leaders to navigate their most pressing challenges with urgency, clarity, and bias towards action.

If you have worked with me, you know I am endlessly energized to dive into complex problems spaces and emerge with crystal clear articulation of the vision, design principles, and strategy. It would be a pleasure to connect If you are working on a bold vision with tangible impact on quality of human life.

I’ve been having a great time consulting on venture validation with FutureSight Venture Studio. Working with an idea-driven, low-ego, collaborative crew is one of the best launchpads for true discovery.

When I asked John Carbrey why he founded a venture studio, he put it perfectly: to play matchmaker between founders and their life’s work.

And that’s exactly what happens at FutureSight every day. We validate and stress-test venture concepts, shape them into high-conviction opportunities, and line them up for an EIR who’s ready to take the reins and build.

On that note—we’re always looking for exceptional builders with the conviction and curiosity to create the next generation of B2B SaaS companies. It’s an incredible moment to build software; the long tail of this tech transformation is just beginning, and the ride ahead looks wild in the best way.

If that sounds like you, let’s connect.
