Strategy
& partnerships,
for technical AI.

I work with technical AI companies on GTM, market expansion, and partnerships. My path started in engineering and moved into commercialization: understanding the product, reading the buyer, and helping it work in a new market.

01POSITIONING

Before the funnel is obvious, I find the route in.

(01)

Markets still forming

When buyer language is unstable, competitors are blurry, and the category is still changing names, I write down the real problem first, then choose the entry point.

(02)

Partnerships with a reason

A partnership is not “let’s meet.” I look for why the other side should meet now, what can move after the meeting, and how distribution, trust, or capital can connect.

(03)

AI workflow leverage

I use AI workflows to speed up research, writing, and review. The tool is not the outcome; the outcome is seeing the important signal faster and missing fewer follow-ups.

02EXPERIENCE

From engineering to GTM. I work on how technical products enter real markets.

03SELECTED CASES

Three case studies: commercialization paths, market judgment, and AI-enabled operating workflows.

04ABOUT

The problems I am built to handle.

My base is engineering. Electrical and computer engineering, plus early work at a YC intelligent manufacturing company, trained me to understand both engineering systems and product constraints.

The commercial work came later: GTM, market expansion, and partnerships. That work taught me to read the market and the customer more carefully: who has budget, who is only curious, and which situations are worth pursuing.

So I am not the person for “send a few more emails.” I am better suited to questions like: who should the company meet, how should it explain itself, why now, and how do we turn that judgment into meetings, materials, and shipped outcomes?
