    I work with start-ups, assisting the teams to handle their commercial launches. I was a hunter sales-man prospecting clients (through cold calling and e-mail marketing campaigns), and later responsible for product enhancement, sales training and account management mentoring. Working at a start-up showed me that regardless of your approach, things may not go your way all the time. I needed to be fluid and adaptable to the ongoing challenges that come with a young company and have advised 20+ companies over the past 6 years. I predominantly work with early stage start-ups but can provide sales tune-ups and sales training for larger companies. Looking to train sales staff, build commercial and marketing strategies, and help with product development.

    $𝟱𝟬𝟬𝗠+ 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗩𝗖𝘀: 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝘆𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗳𝘁, 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗩𝗖, 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹, 𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀, etc.. I've spent 25 years as Founder of 2 marketing companies and 2 funded SaaS startups. I’ve also helped 100+ organizations raise in excess of $500M in operating capital from leading venture firms. What I can tell you from these experiences is this: whether you’re raising capital or pitching new business, it requires an objective, strategic lens to transform intricate ideas into clear, compelling and digestible narratives. If you’re too close to the business, it's nearly impossible to take that critical step back. Which is why an objective business brain outside of your organization is crucial to creating an effective investor pitch deck or sales presentation that resonates with investors or corporate stakeholders. The bullet points: ☆ Outside Persective: I help my clients see the forest through the trees ☆ Proven Results: I've helped clients secure $500M+ in funding from top investors including Greycroft, Pear VC, and Drive Capital ☆ Expert Storytelling: I simplify complex concepts into impactful presentations that captivate ☆ Data-Driven Insights: I leverage research from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG to ensure your narrative has a rock solid foundation ☆ Diverse Industry Expertise: I've worked with 100+ companies across SaaS, Blockchain, HealthTech, Medtech, Real Estate, Robotics, Green Energy, Biomimicry, Insuretech, Industrial Machinery, Manufacturing and more ☆ Design: Solid storylines supported by elegant design 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿: ○ Investor pitch decks that stand out in competitive markets ○ Strategic CIMs for top-tier financial firms that include Lazard ○ Sales presentations that clearly showcase unique market value ○ Fully editable Powerpoint, Google Slides, Keynote or Canva docs 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗲: ✅ "STOP AND BOOK JOHN! I sent John a pitch deck that I knew needed some fresh eyes and TLC. I was expecting John to just respond to me with some design suggestions and make it look more professional. Instead, he dove deep into the subject matter, helped develop the over-arching story, and even dug up some relevant data from studies that I wasn't even aware of. He even redesigned my logo and tag line along the way. The 'before' and 'after' looks like it belongs in a Miracle Hair informercial." ✅ "If you're looking for a true thought partner that takes pride in researching and then telling a compelling story via a sales presentation, then I can't imagine anyone better than John. He was also a complete pleasure to work with. Extremely organized, prompt, reliable, and the kind of guy you would like to have a beer with." ✅ "John’s ability to understand our complicated vision and translate it into an easy-to understand and (most of all) interesting sales presentation was amazing." ✅ "John enthusiastically embraced multiple (many multiple!) editing suggestions from our team, always taking the essence of our ideas and finding a way to creatively translate them into the pitch deck." ✅ "John is endlessly patient. He has a gift for getting to the core of an idea quickly but also for pushing back on bad suggestions in a positive way." ✅ "John was amazingly responsive to communication from any member of our team and on time with his work, quickly turning ‘next iterations’, even over nights and weekends."

    I know firsthand what it takes to turn an idea into a thriving business—because I’ve done it myself. From building and scaling my own small-scale family farm to leading high-impact teams in healthcare, operations, and business strategy, I’ve built a career around figuring things out, solving problems, and getting things done (often with fewer resources than ideal, because that’s just how business works, right?). Clients hire me because I don’t just hand them a strategy—I execute it. They trust me to build business plans that actually secure funding, develop workflows that make operations smoother (not more complicated), and coach leaders who want to inspire and drive results. The feedback? They see measurable growth, increased productivity, and a clearer path forward—without the fluff. Where I Bring the Most Value: ✅ Business Planning & Development – Crafting actionable strategies that drive profitability and sustainable growth. ✅ Project Management – Keeping business initiatives on track, on budget, and moving forward with clear deliverables and accountability. ✅ Process & Workflow Optimization – Designing efficient systems that help businesses scale without chaos. ✅ Business Writing – Creating clear and compelling business plans, SOPs, RFPs, and reports that provide direction (and actually get read). ✅ Data Analysis & Strategy – Using AI tools and analytics to uncover gaps, optimize workflows, improve KPIs, and enhance overall efficiency. ✅ Leadership Coaching – Helping emerging and established leaders build confidence, motivate teams, and get real results. I believe that every great business starts with a vision—but success comes from execution. If you’re ready to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, let’s connect.
