Markets/Industries/Sectors

As the former CEO of three consumer products public companies and a hands-on operator in dozens of industries, I specialize in high-impact growth strategies that defy convention and deliver measurable results. I’ve built brands from scratch, engineered corporate turnarounds, and negotiated complex private equity deals—always with a relentless focus on execution, creativity, and ROI.

My toolkit blends mergers & acquisitions, strategic outside-the-box marketing, product innovation, and e-commerce mastery, backed by deep expertise in infomercials, retail optimization, and digital monetization. I’ve raised capital through VC, PE, and IPO channels, and scaled businesses from concept to national distribution.

I also bring niche expertise in the booming pickleball industry, consulting on club development, growth strategies, and business models designed for long-term wins.

If you’re looking for a strategic partner who can move fast, think differently, and deliver results that stick, let’s talk.
