Board & C-Suite Advisory
Clear-headed counsel for high-stakes decisions. Drawing on decades of building and exiting technology ventures across media, streaming, and defense.

I work with founders, executives, and boards navigating the moments that define what comes next. If you're facing a problem that needs clear thinking and honest input, let's talk.

My background runs from the founding team at AudioNet / Broadcast.com (Yahoo acquisition, $5.7B) through enterprise consulting at KPMG and AT&T, large-scale OTT deployments on AWS, and building SportsBug from concept through signed MLB and Learfield partnerships.

I've operated in streaming, sports media, publishing, medical supply, and defense, and I write about industry dynamics in detail. That context is the consulting.
