About me
You're an entrepreneur. You have an idea, a start-up, or an established business. You want to create a killer product or service but you're stuck with what to do next and how best to do it. I GET IT Innovation is HARD. Doing it by yourself is HARDER. That's why I'm here. I've helped 100+ start-ups � Build Better Business� and I can help you do the same. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU? ✅ You want to innovate by reducing uncertainty, achieving focus and make progress through learning ✅ You want to execute effectively and reduce cost by experimentation and better use of technology ✅ You want technology to serve your business by aligning technical requirements with business strategy ✅ You want to be productive, efficient and deliver value I'm a specialist in the creation, design and build of innovative technology-led businesses, products & services. I can help you do all these things. TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP AND IMPLEMENTATION You know business. Specifically, you know your business. Do you also know technology? Are you well-versed on all of the latest trends? Can you manage your business and manage the technology that drives your business? Can you afford to have a CTO? The better question is can you afford *not* to have a CTO? A Chief Technology Officer can be a very expensive hire. It can be out of reach of many companies. A Virtual CTO is technical leadership on-demand. It enables companies to harness the skills and experience of a full-time CTO but at a more manageable cost. With an on-demand CTO you are paying only for the technical leadership effort you need. One of the keys to success is to understand where you are and where you need to be, which are often two very different things. My Virtual CTO services help start-ups get where they need to go in the most efficient and effective way. BUSINESS DESIGN You're busy building your business, so you need an effective approach for reducing uncertainty and achieving clarity. There are some questions you don't know how to answer and some you don't want to. What you need is a structured process to help you navigate your way out of the start-up fog: - Customer Personas/empathy maps - Value Propositions - Assumptions & Hypotheses - Business Canvasses - Unit Economics - Service Design Blueprints I ask the questions that founders can’t or don’t want to ask of themselves but which must be asked to avoid costly mistakes or delays.
