I’m a senior research analyst and former VP of Operations with 30+ years of experience delivering sharp, actionable insight to help companies make smarter strategic decisions. As a market researcher, I’ve completed over 200 projects across SaaS, industrial equipment, construction, legal tech, consumer goods, and logistics, covering everything from demand forecasting and competitor benchmarking to international distributor identification. My work is detail-oriented, source-verified, and tailored for real-world decision-making, not just surface-level summaries. Before freelancing, I spent more than a decade as VP of Operations at a legal eBilling company, where I led internal workflow redesigns, software QA testing, and invoice process optimization. I’ve mapped and improved systems across legal, finance, procurement, and vendor compliance — and I bring that same operational discipline to every research project I take on. Core Capabilities: • Market and industry research (U.S. + international) • Competitor benchmarking and pricing analysis • Lead generation and buyer identification • Demand and TAM sizing (including niche B2B segments) • Workflow and process mapping (especially legal ops and back-office) • Documented SOP development and operations audits • Research for private equity, startups, and internal strategy teams I work well with clients who want thoughtful, source-backed insights and value clean, professional deliverables. Let me know what you’re working on — I’m always up for a challenge.
