With 25 years of software industry experience, I help executives look differently at $1M, $10M, and $100M growth opportunities. Then, I roll up my sleeves to help teams on the journey.
Learn to Meditate
11 years ago… Today, my daughter is 10 years old – and will be 11 in a couple of months. I recorded this for her while she was still “in the womb.” At the time, I had been studying and practicing meditation for a few years. The practice greatly helped me overcome a deep, dark…

Hello LinkedIn Friends, Colleagues, Mentors, and Family, This post is really the first in my journal – to explain what has happened so far and what the next steps are (I launched my business 18 days ago). Here is a quick example if you don’t have time to scroll or read. My 8yo daughter is…
Happy New Year: A Gift of Gratitude and Abundance in 2022
To My Family, Friends, and Colleagues—With Deep Love and Affection, My Wish for You in 2022 is for—Life Changing Gratitude and the Abundance it Generates—Particularly with Self-Love—but also Financially. I can truly say—and I have experienced this personally—the practice of gratitude has been the greatest gift I’ve ever been given in my life. But, it…
I consider my life’s work and personal passions to be at the intersection of business design and organizational psychology, i.e., design thinking for growth and change.
Recent Results
In the past 6 years, I have been very fortunate to accomplish the following for my employers, clients, and investors:
1) Pitch, pursue, & triple a CRM-tech valuation from $35M to $110M
2) Pitch & pursue a $25M-100M PLG (product led growth) spin-off for a 4X SaaS founder & chairman
3) Help a $120M health-tech identify and pursue a $400M growth plan via value pricing (value capture and optimization)
4) Drive digital sales for a $4B-IPO unicorn in OSS/PaaS/AI
5) Raise a $500K seed/A and launch a big data encryption company.
Experience
I have worked for 12 software companies—many industry leaders. I have conceptualized and/or launched 50+ major business ideas at employers and independently. I have conceptualized and co-founded a business with 21 people. And, I have launched 5 businesses.
As shown below, my roles have covered all aspects of the customer experience for technology companies. My depth in software sectors is with customer experience, CRM, BI, artificial intelligence, and overall value optimization.
Lifelong Passions
My life long passions include growth leadership, mindfulness, and cognitive neuroscience. And, I am one of those people who would rather learn than watch TV.
I believe design thinking has barely become part of corporate DNA, and I am fascinated by the possibilities of its impact on humanity.
Life Philosophies
My personal philosophy is based on non-egoic mindfulness and acceptance of human imperfection. The prior is very hard!
I believe business is about a) treating your fellow human how they wanted to be treated and b) being self-aware of any habits of thinking that don’t line up to this mantra of serving others.
While I am on Earth, I want to help other people as much as I can, personally and professionally.
I am part of a consulting collective, combining my core skills with partner experts in value pricing and extended reality (e.g. VR). Together, we bring a network of independent consultants together to solve big challenges.
