Let’s Talk
I’m selective about commitments but generous with conversations. If you’re working through something real, I’d like to hear about it.

What to Include
The best emails I receive have three things:
– Who you are and why you’re reaching out
– What you actually want to discuss
– Why you think I’m the right person
I’m not looking for polish. I’m looking for substance. Tell me what’s real.
A Note on Consulting
My primary focus is my role as Director of Innovation at Navaide. I’m not running a consultancy or looking for side projects.
That said, I engage in selective conversations and collaborations that align with my interests. If you think there’s a fit, reach out and let’s talk. I’ll be direct about whether it makes sense.
