A Full Service Brand & Product Strategy Innovator, with a focus on business development!
My history
I work in four phases - Product Assortment Strategies that align with Brand Direction, Innovation Opportunities, Go-To-Market Concepts and Fiscal Management assistance.
Engage with me at any point, or all!!
My experience as a hard core user, salesperson and product creator has generated a unique vision and that product knowledge helps craft a logical strategy, and I deliver innovation injected design and development advice. All layered into margin models and resulting impact on financials and resulting business decision making.
