Unique Differentiators
What makes this combination of strategy + implementation so rare and valuable
Strategy + Implementation Bridge
Most executives are either strategic thinkers OR technical implementers. I uniquely bridge McKinsey strategic methodology with hands-on technical capability.
“Review your code architecture in the morning and present to your board in the afternoon.”
Proven + Practical
Every recommendation is backed by real-world success. From MVP to $100M ARR at Green Chef, to leading 60-person teams managing $50M investments at McKinsey.
“Co-founded Green Chef: Month 1 paying customers → $100M ARR → HelloFresh acquisition.”
AI Pioneer + Current Developer
Not just talking about AI - actively building with 99% AI-assisted development. Proprietary Topic System creates AI advisors in 20-30 minutes.
“Current hands-on developer using modern AI tools, not legacy consultant.”
Current Focus: AI-Powered Fractional Leadership
Today, I'm pioneering the future of fractional executive services through AI-powered consulting methodology. My proprietary Topic System platform demonstrates what's possible when you combine McKinsey strategic thinking with hands-on AI development.
Unlike traditional fractional executives who are either strategic advisors OR technical implementers, I provide the complete package: I can architect your AI strategy in the morning and review your implementation code in the afternoon.
Current clients include growing companies ($1M-$50M revenue) who need strategic technology guidance, AI integration strategy, and engineering leadership development without the cost of a full-time executive.
