I plug in to your org and team on a fractional basis, owning strategy, prioritization, and execution alongside your founders or exec team. We get the roadmap legible, the team unblocked, and the bets defensible.
Most teams have AI tools and no operating model. We map the work, identify where AI changes the unit economics, redesign roles and rituals around it, and ship a pragmatic 90-day plan you can defend to your board and your people.
You know what should exist. You just don't have the vocabulary, the spec, or the trust to hand it to a developer. I sit with you, pressure-test the idea, and produce the artifacts an engineering partner can quote and build against. No new language required.
Human-centered talent systems: leveling frameworks, hiring loops that actually predict performance, performance and growth rituals people don't dread, and the org design behind them. Calibrated for small teams; no enterprise theater.
For teams whose product is the content itself: a curriculum, a catalog, a recommendation engine. I build on the science of how people actually learn and make meaning, so the system reads signals, not just clicks, and helps someone move forward instead of just showing them more of the same.
What you get
Content, copy, media, and learning architecture
Adaptive, personalized, and recommendation system design
Monthly or bi-weekly cadence for founders, product leaders, and exec teams navigating a hard chapter (a pivot, a reorg, a first hire, a thorny strategic call). Confidential, direct, and accountable.
