> Healthcare AI & medical-device startup advisor (Serial, ex-Elevance VP, Stanford GSB Ignite mentor)

Hi, I'm Chris. I work with B2B software and AI founders from pre-seed through Series A. I help with three connected questions: who to sell to, what to build next, and how to win customers.

I've spent 20 years in Silicon Valley's tech and AI scene. I created SAP Connected Goods, led product work at Cognizant and Elevance Health, and have mentored 500+ founders, including through Stanford GSB Ignite, Alchemist, and German Accelerator.

Bring a decision you're working through. Maybe customers like the idea but won't pay. Maybe every prospect wants a different feature. Or you have a promising pilot and need to turn it into a paying customer. We'll work through the options and identify your next step.

First-time founders are welcome. You don't need a polished deck. When booking, tell me what you're building, who it's for, and the decision you'd like help with.

## Example Questions

- I'm an early-stage founder thinking about validation — how should I structure customer interviews so I actually learn something?
- We're raising a Series A — how do I sharpen our pitch around our healthcare AI moat?
- We're a medical-device startup — what does a realistic NIST 800-53 timeline look like, and when should we start?
- My co-founder and I disagree on hiring our first PM — how do we resolve this?
