I'm a strategist, revenue generator, problem solver, and the founder of Flint & Forge.

I've spent my career helping businesses figure out where to go next and how to get there. Sometimes that means identifying new opportunities for growth. Other times, it's untangling a complicated business challenge, building a compelling case for a new initiative, or simply helping a leadership team turn a good idea into a successful business.

Before launching Flint & Forge, my career took me through the tech, media, healthtech, energy, and investment worlds. I've worked with companies of all shapes and sizes, from helping incubate startups to holding leadership roles at Amazon. Along the way, I've helped launch new businesses, develop growth strategies, build strategic partnerships, and lead cross-functional initiatives that turn ambitious ideas into commercial opportunities.

At Shout! Factory, I led the cross-functional launch of a new business division, driving significant growth in revenue and modernizing the company for long-term success. At Wondery, I built and managed strategic partnerships that accounted for over half of our annual revenue. This partnership portfolio was a centerpiece in Amazon’s acquisition of Wondery.

After becoming a part of Amazon, I led the integration of multiple functions into the global Amazon ecosystem. This expanded our partnership capabilities, allowing me to negotiate landmark content and distribution agreements (including with the SmartLess and Wow In The World podcasts). I also directed corporate development initiatives involving strategic partnerships and M&A opportunities, collaborating across global teams to expand into new markets and distribution channels.

My experience also includes leading partnerships and business development operations in healthtech, building capabilities that expanded access to clinical trials for underrepresented populations while doubling our opportunity pipeline. More recently, I've advised angel investors and family offices on evaluating investment opportunities, developing financial models and business cases, incubating startups, and implementing growth strategies across a diverse portfolio of businesses.

One thing I've learned along the way is that organizations inevitably face periods of ambiguity, where the path forward isn't clear. Sometimes the challenge is figuring out which opportunity is worth pursuing. Sometimes it's finding the resources, relationships, or capabilities to make it happen. And sometimes, organizations just need someone with a fresh perspective to find the way forward.

That's why I became a consultant: to help businesses navigate uncertainty, seize opportunities, and achieve sustainable growth.
