Speaking & MC
Talks for businesses building hard things
From founder offsites and accelerator cohorts to industry stages, I help teams cut through noise, challenge default thinking and turn clarity into measurable action. Audiences walk away with practical frameworks they can use immediately, and the conviction to make bolder decisions. Available for keynotes, MC'ing, podcasts and workshops.

Three talks, each built for a room that has to act on it
End-state planning
Most teams are busy but not moving. A dead-simple framework for defining where you're actually going, and building the habits that get you there.
Keynote + Q&A · 30 min / Workshop · 60 min+Gap marketing
Every company has a gap between what it has built and what the market wants to buy. That distance is measurable, and closing it is a system rather than a slogan. The framework I use with deep tech founders, in a form you can run on yourself.
Keynote + Q&A · 30 min / Workshop · 60 min+Sales is a system
Most deep tech pipelines are a founder's calendar and a prayer. The unconventional, repeatable ways technical companies create demand, from field notes and trade shows to the introductions nobody thinks to ask for.
