Are you launching a product without knowing if customers will actually buy it? Or spending thousands on marketing that doesn't resonate with your target audience? You're not alone. Most businesses guess their way through product development and market positioning—and it costs them time, money, and competitive advantage. I eliminate that uncertainty. With over 20 years of market research and business intelligence expertise across the energy, technology, and consumer sectors, I help startups and established businesses validate their products, understand their customers deeply, and make informed decisions backed by data—not assumptions. I don't just deliver research reports that collect dust. I translate complex customer insights into clear, actionable strategies tailored to YOUR specific business context—so you can confidently align your offerings with what your market actually wants. What You Get: ✓ Product-Market Fit Validation – Know if your product solves a real problem before you scale ✓ Customer Journey Mapping – Understand exactly how your customers think, decide, and buy ✓ Market Sizing & Segmentation – Identify your most profitable customer segments and market opportunities ✓ Competitive Intelligence – Discover gaps in the market and differentiation opportunities ✓ Actionable Recommendations – Clear next steps that drive engagement, revenue, and growth My Process: I begin by understanding your business goals and challenges, rather than just your research questions. Then I design custom research that delivers insights you can actually use to make strategic decisions with confidence. 200+ completed projects. Clients across 30+ countries. Proven results in driving product success and customer engagement. A sampling of testimonials from customers includes: ✓ For a creative agency seeking advice on pricing strategy: "Christopher did an amazing job. I valued his perspective as a thought partner throughout the project. I was impressed with his attention to detail and his ability to take the initiative. I will be working with him again in the future." ✓ For a legal services firm requiring personas and customer journey maps: "Christopher is a top-notch market researcher in the field. A consummate professional, he was always very thorough, communicative, responsive, and delivered outstanding-quality work. I have high expectations, and he exceeded them throughout the entire engagement. Additionally, I felt like I was working with a partner and team member, not a consultant, which I think is a testament to his 'partnering' mentality and work quality. I highly recommend him, and I look forward to working with him again." ✓ For a healthcare startup requiring market research: "Christopher is fantastic. He was diligent, extremely skilled, and genuinely cared about my project, always available for feedback and conversation. He went far above and beyond what I expected, and I very highly recommend him. A+++" Whether you're validating a new product concept, trying to understand why customers aren't converting, or looking to expand into new markets, I provide the clarity you need to move forward with confidence. Ready to stop guessing and start knowing? Let's discuss your specific challenge and how customer research can become your competitive advantage. Message me to schedule a brief consultation—no obligation, just clarity on your next best step.

I spent six years in the Grocery Retail industry helping billion-dollar companies build their brands and now I want to help smaller brands and businesses do the same. My experience starting from an analytical role, growing to marketing planning and execution, to working my way up to high-level strategic roles presenting to C-Suites allows me to see business problems from multiple angles. I can see high-level trends, quickly understand data, and see solutions through to the execution level. My favorite work includes building out long-term strategic business and marketing plans. These plans have the ability to drive sales growth within a company by focusing efforts, prioritizing initiatives, and breaking down big goals into bite-size steps. I also have experience building and executing social media marketing plans. I have a business & marketing degree from Cornell University and recently received three marketing certifications through their e-Cornell platform (Marketing Strategy, Data-Driven Marketing, and Digital Marketing). Yes, I'm a total marketing nerd and have been my whole life. I've been admiring and analyzing commercials since I was a kid. I currently own my own coaching business, Hello Velocity, and am looking for part-time projects to bring in additional income.
