Consulting for Startups & Small Teams

I fix the stuff nobody fixes.
I own what no one will own.

Throughout my career (and regardless of what the job title said), I've always been the person who jumps into the messy, ambiguous, slightly-on-fire situation and figures it out. Whether that's crisis messaging, a cross-functional project that nobody wants to drive, or just being the person who finally takes action on the thing the team has been marinating on for weeks.

I care about why we're doing something, and I'm at my best figuring out how we get there.

My services are geared towards startups, and touch product, operations, customer experience, and anything (and everything) in-between. If you don’t have a team or name for it, it’s probably something I do.

Who I Can Help

There are a number of teams I can help, and ways I can step in and help to meet your needs. Startups need flexibility and fluidity, afterall. Have something else you need? I’d love to work with you to help solve whatever is going on. If it’s no one’s job, it’s probably my job.

  • I audit processes, help prioritize your roadmap, and can step in and drive strategic planning. I take on 0 to 1 projects and can tackle research, UX prototyping, and creating requirements for when your team is ready.

    I can help find the gaps in your workflow and find ways to infuse AI into what you’re doing (being having an LLM write your PRDs…)

  • You need a Chief of Staff with Product sense, who also has a deep understanding of customer needs.

    I can audit your current state to help uncover your problems, or solve the problems you know you have.

    You’re building something and the in-between work is piling up. I can help manage priorities, own internal communication, handling the operational stuff that keeps falling through the cracks — whether it be managing App Store listings, helping with Product Marketing Plans, creating FAQs, or anything else you don’t have an owner for.

  • You have questions. You like the places I’ve worked, what I’ve done, and want to learn from me. You could be a founder or an early-career PM.

    Either way, something about my experience resonates. I offer ‘pick my brain’ sessions to help offer clarity or dig into your questions.

How I work

My favorite way to work is on retainer, in a way that is flexible to your needs. Monthly commitments and flexible scope go hand in hand. I embed with your team enough to understand context, but I'm not here to sit in status meetings (unless that’s where you need me). I can also work on a per-project basis if your scope is more defined.

I mostly do my work remotely, but am happy to meet in person in NYC from time to time. I care about doing good work with kind people.

I Listen

I listen to what you’re struggling with and the pain it’s causing. I bring my decade-plus experience in product and experiences to read between the lines. Users are historically bad at solving their own problems. I believe founders are no different.

I Collaborate

You and your team are part of the process. Communication is open and decisions are shared. I don’t work in a vacuum, and instead work with you to figure out what level of communication and collaboration is right for your team.

I Plan

Every project is different. I identify solutions and work with you to create a loose plan. I stay flexible and responsive. I know things will come up, and I’ll be ready to pivot.

I Deliver

I get you and the team what you need. I tweak as needed. Often, when one problem is solved, another rears its head — I’ll be ready to take that on.

Where I've Been

Need help?

Think you might need help but don’t know what you need? Book a free 20-minute call with me. You describe your problem, I offer insights on how to solve it. If we think I can help longer-term, we can talk about what that looks like, too.
