I am a 30 year veteran of the enterprise software market. I have worked in almost every part of an enterprise software firm – Marketing, Product Management, Development, Sales, Customer Service, Professional Services, Business Development, & General Management. I have led teams as large as 135 people spanning 5 locations. I have led five major acquisitions and eleven divestitures. I have lived and worked in many places – Detroit, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Costa Rica. This background gives me a foundation to help organizations conquer any challenges or opportunities they may face.
I do project-oriented for a number of firms and publish a very successful blog on product management and corporate development. I travel to the United States and Europe frequently to support client engagements.
I primarily work on short-term, fixed-price projects. Some of the work I do includes:
- Market Analysis, especially for pre-seed and seed stage SaaS startups
- Competitive Analysis especially for pre-seed, seed stage, and enterprise software SaaS firms
- Support for the development and execution of Request for Proposals (RFP)
- Qualitative moderated research for SaaS companies
- Win-Loss Analysis for enterprise software companies
- Content development for blogs and podcasts
- Business Process Improvement for various parts of a global software company
- Training of product management teams in financial literacy, market analysis, competitor analysis and many other topics
- Acquisition Candidate Analysis
- Advice on the operational aspects of mergers, acquisitions & divestitures
- Advise and support complex corporate restructuring projects
I have a strong history of helping companies fundamentally grow their enterprise value. I am like a tool on a tool belt. I can be used to help conquer any challenge or opportunity that a global software could face. When finished, you can just put me back on the shelf until you need me again.
