I Can Help You Grow
I help the leaders of medium/small-sized science & technology-based B2B companies quickly increase their capacity and capability to drive growth and innovation without the high cost or long-term commitment of another full-time hire. I serve as a part-time, fully embedded growth and innovation leader in your organization (a fractional growth leader). You get the high-level expertise and experience that I bring in leading new business and new product exploration, development and commercialization programs without the hassles, high cost and long-term commitment involved in hiring a full-time leader of my caliber. This enables you and your team to work directly with me to identify, validate and de-risk uncertain new growth opportunities before you invest in a full-time growth leader.
As for me, I am widely recognized for taking “fuzziness” out of new business growth opportunities and translating them into fundable business cases. I utilize best practices and a value-growth mindset, coupled with laser focus and out-of-the-box thinking, to lead new business development programs. I have extensive experience in creating and leading new business efforts as an “intrapreneur” within Dow Inc., and more recently I have added to my portfolio experience with creating and advising entrepreneurial start-up companies.
My expertise can help you address these challenges:
