I understand how to commercialize technology and bring new products to market. I am competent in business planning and strategy. I am financially literate and can help clients assess company finances, create budgets, and understand risks. I'm skilled in communication, management, conflict resolution, group dialogue facilitation, and negotiation. I am adept at identifying unfounded assumptions, gaps in logic, flaws in business plans, and uncertainties that increase liability and failure potential.
