Where I most often come in
When a venture moves from grant-funded R&D to capital-ready scaling
When investor conversations need a commercial story that stands up to diligence
When expanding across borders means earning credibility with regulators and partners
When leadership must transition from technical authority to market credibility
Who I Work With
I work with founders, executive teams, and boards in scale-ups, mid-caps, and public innovation institutions.
Private Sector
Public Institutions & Clusters
Cross-Sector Ecosystems
Industrial, automotive, energy, deep tech and applied AI companies scaling beyond their first market.
Innovation clusters and public programmes building international positioning and partnerships.
Automotive, battery, hydrogen and energy transition ecosystems. Where capital, regulation, and commercial logic have to line up across multiple stakeholders and borders.

Strategy & Commercial Architecture
Three interconnected disciplines. Designed to work together, not in sequence.
1
Where to play
Which markets to enter, in what order, with what regulatory and competitive position. Decided before scale exposes the wrong choice.
2
How to win commercially
Customer segments, channels, pricing, and the commercial team you actually need. Working together rather than fighting each other.
3
Why investors and partners trust you
The investor story that survives diligence, the institutional credibility that opens doors, and the governance that holds it together.
