Discovering Your Product Path
Product Consulting Inspired by Resilience
My mission is to help product founders bring innovative ideas to market. As a founder, your daily energy is committed towards running the business. It takes complete focus to constantly solve problems and make payroll. I will partner with you to create a strategy for product expansion and manage all steps in creating the new product lines.
It takes someone determined, focused, and creative to withstand the daily ups-and-downs of product development. I have spent years directly launching products and supporting founders. Let me roll up my sleeves to help you grow!
My consulting is inspired by the Capulin Volcano [Cap-u-lin] in northeast New Mexico. The lush volcano displays strength and resilience in the middle of a barren desert. Each time I visit, I'm reminded of the strength required to settle this harsh land. Just like the entrepreneurial journey, it required resilience, vision, and a sense of adventure. Time to get to work!
