I can help you turn your business ideas and challenges into positive business outcomes. I am a good listener - if you are starting, buying, growing or selling a business then I can help you frame your problem statements and work together to create a plan of action and to find solutions. I am a former aerospace industry corporate executive, a former professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at a top business school and currently a small business owner. My degrees are in engineering and business administration.
