Turning Plans into Profits

For more than 30 years I've been instrumental in the success of F500 companies, SMBs, and more than 150 startups. I'm highly recommended on Upwork, and have a high percentage of long-term and repeat clients. Expertise: - Business plans, financial models and pitch decks - Business coaching - Strategic planning - Pricing models - Term sheets for partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, funding - Launch plans - Design, critique, improve websites – customer journey, text, art direction - Marketing strategies and plans - Sales presentations and marketing materials - Messaging, value propositions, mission & vision statements - Branding from logos and tag lines to packaging and positioning - Trade journal and media articles - Product and explainer videos - Radio and TV commercials - Trade show booths, signage and sales materials For startups and early-stage companies, I’ve written business plans and developed financial models, pitch decks, and funding strategies. I also co-founded a startup that my partner and I sold to a F500 company. I have developed strategic plans for a wide range of organizations in the US and Europe from companies like Intel to non-profits, usually implementing the plans with Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) or Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). I’ve also coached/mentored numerous individuals and teams, that improved their skills, and increased their productivity and effectiveness. If you are starting a new venture, launching a product, or raising capital, you must have a concept that the market needs and a clear plan. If you are growing, diversifying, pivoting, or re-engineering an existing business, you must have achievable goals and an executable plan. Whether you are starting or growing, I’ll work with you to develop strategies, plans, and materials that work. Some Major Accomplishments In the corporate world: as Manager of Commercial Systems Marketing with Intel, developed strategic plans for US and European growth, and set up a marketing group in Europe; as co-founder and Executive Vice President, started an international company that my partner and I sold to a Fortune 500 company; as VP of Marketing & Sales, took a small company from losing $1M/yr. to profitability and a buyout in less than 12 months.
