Summary
As a strategic consultant focusing on cloud businesses and channels advising some of the world's top enterprise software firms, I’ve been writing about and analyzing why businesses choose and how they use enterprise software since 2000s. As an analyst and consultant I’ve interviewed and surveyed thousands of tech decision-makers, developers, and executives as well as partners, GSIs and software vendors. I'm fluent in technology development and deployment, strategic alliances and partnerships, and digital transformation, with a very strong sales alignment. Over the years I've been a multi-domain consultant and sales partner, and I've been lucky enough - with great teams, and great leaders - to build an excellent track record in guiding executive decision-making. I'm a lifelong analyst, and I love the beginning, middle, and end of a huge project - I'm ready to start another! My thing? I genuinely like to help other people and companies, do what they do best. So if it's as simple as taking time over a weekend to help a pal with moving, giving advice about a great spot for dinner in Dupont Circle, or digging into a project to help a tech company find new routes to market, or a new pricing model, I'm in. If I can't help, I know many people who probably can - just ask. My business partner and I have been using Times+Roman as a platform for advising select clients, and now I'd like to get closer to the execution, helping a single firm grow and expand into new partnerships and channels. I'm looking forward to connecting with you, working with you, and being of service - that's what it's all about.
