Work with me

Whether you need a tactical sprint, help unblocking a launch, or a recurring advisor to guide your product strategy, I plug into your team to turn data into competitive advantage.

Four ways to work together.

  • Sprint

    3 to 4 weeks, fixed scope.

    You have one clear problem and you want it solved. I build it, document it, and hand it over to your team.

    Telemetry design, a launch war-room dashboard, or a competitive teardown.

  • Retainer

    On-call, monthly advisory.

    Your team has the people, but you need a senior expert to stress-test your strategy.

    Board deck reviews, build-vs-buy analysis on AI vendors, and KPI sanity checks.

  • Head of Data (Fractional)

    Two days a week.

    You have no data roadmap or vision. I define the strategy, the hiring plan, and the metrics your leadership team runs on.

    The data roadmap for a new title, hiring your first analyst, or reviewing AI spend.

  • Ad Hoc

    One week, fixed fee.

    You’re not sure what is blocking your numbers, or where to start.

    A diagnostic read on why retention dropped, or a ‘fix this first’ plan.

How I work

  1. Intro call.

    Thirty minutes, free. We strip away the jargon to find the actual problem. We define the specific goal, the constraints, and whether I am the right partner to bridge the gap.

  2. Defined scope.

    A one-page summary with accompanying details. We define what we’re building, what ‘done’ looks like, and the timeline. No corporate red tape: just clear expectations so we can start.

  3. The build.

    I advise and I execute. You see the work as it happens: daily updates, live models, and functional reporting. I iterate in the open so you are never surprised by what comes next.

  4. Built to last.

    I don’t leave you with a PDF deck that collects dust. Everything I build is documented, production-ready, and fully owned by your team. We decide the next step, or I finish the job.
