Strategy

Strategy should come from a dialogue, not just be a prescription that you pay for. i work with people who are facing complex questions; the kind that don’t have obvious answers and deserve better than a cookie-cutter solution. whether you’re building a platform, refining a research pipeline, or trying to articulate something that doesn’t quite have a name yet, i want to help you get to the sharper questions or explore broader possibilities.

i work best when we’re in it together, clarifying direction, surveying blind spots, and refining the thinking behind your work. We might reframe the original question entirely. We might map out what’s possible. We will certainly end with a concept note or loose plan, but the work happens in the conversation and dialogue that we have.

The process is open ended. Sometimes the insight arrives in the first 20 minutes or we follow a thread for as long as it needs. Keeping a dynamic and open process allows us to be flexible.

My background is in chemistry, one of the most creative sciences. i hold a phd in synthetic methodology and have worked in academia but love liminal spaces where people often feel unsettled or lost, it’s where i feel the most joy. Whether you’re in pharma, deep tech, or the arts if you want someone who can think with you and speak your language, i’m here for that too.

The classic problem–complication–solution framework is boring and doesn’t provide you with the right framework to create meaningful change. i believe in asking better questions. Strategy is a creative endeavour, where we move toward something clearer and more aligned with how you actually work.

If you’re looking for a collaborator who listens and responds dynamically, offers paths you may not have seen yet, and who helps you make sense of what you’re building, get in touch. i’m open to anything…
