Strategy people can actually execute.
Good strategy creates choices people can understand and execute. I connect research, positioning, channels, campaigns, and internal teams around the business problem that matters most.I define how each brand should compete, communicate, and support the wider portfolio. At ETI, this meant creating distinct market roles across two subsidiaries and four brands without losing the strength of a 50 year industry history.
I translate market shifts into an offer, message, channel plan, and sales motion. The strategy considers buyer risk, competitive gaps, technical requirements, adoption barriers, and the time required for a complex B2B decision.
I build connected programs across email, search, referrals, events, content, and sales follow through. Campaigns are segmented by role and buying stage, then adjusted through testing instead of rushed for short term activity.
I combine customer conversations, industry research, keyword behavior, sales feedback, and competitive analysis. The result is a practical view of ideal customers, buying committees, motivations, objections, and the journey toward an RFQ.
I design partner programs around volume, potential, technical needs, and customer coverage. Distributor tiers, incentives, training, campaign materials, and sales coordination create a structured path toward stronger channel performance.
I align leadership, sales, engineering, operations, finance, agencies, and contributors around shared priorities. Clear direction, practical training, and visible results help teams adopt new programs when confidence is low or expectations conflict.
How the work gets done.
-
01
Investigate the Business Reality
I begin with people, process, customers, and evidence. Interviews and research reveal where the stated problem differs from the real barrier to growth.
-
02
Make the Strategic Choice
I define the audience, market position, offer, channel, message, and success measures. The plan gives teams a reason to prioritize one direction over another.
-
03
Build Connected Activation
I connect creative, digital, automation, partner activity, and sales follow through. Every touchpoint has a role in moving the buyer or enabling the team.
-
04
Learn and Scale
I monitor response, pipeline movement, partner behavior, and team feedback. Strong signals are expanded while weak assumptions are revised before more resources are committed.
