I solve the "Scale Problem" for $100M+ ARR Enterprise SaaS.
Most product organizations stall during the transition from a single-product tool to a multi-product platform. I specialize in the structural, financial, and technical architecture required to bridge that gap.
The Track Record:
	•	Workiva (CPO): Scaled ARR to $1B and market cap to $5B.
	•	Smartsheet (VP): Drove growth from $120M to $730M in 4 years.
	•	Big Tech (AWS/Microsoft): Shipped Amazon Prime, Azure Compute, and GPUs. Currently, I advise Boards and CEOs on the three most expensive mistakes in tech: failed M&A integrations, stagnant multi-product pivots, and non-monetizable AI roadmaps.

Strategic Advisory Pillars
I am available for high-velocity decision support in the following areas:
	•	The $100M to $4B Pivot: Structuring the P&L and product org to support a multi-product portfolio without losing core velocity.
	•	M&A Product Diligence: Objective "under-the-hood" assessments of product stacks and team capabilities for PE and strategic buyers.
	•	AI Commercialization: Moving beyond "AI features" to building defensible, high-margin Enterprise AI products.
	•	Post-Merger Integration (PMI): The tactical blueprint for merging competing product cultures and codebases after an exit.
	•	Board-Level Product Strategy: Translating complex technical roadmaps into shareholder value and executive clarity.
Note: I prioritize sessions with Series B+ Founders, C-suite executives, and Investment Partners.
