On stage, where I show up live
I speak to operators — not technology generalists.
Conferences, closed-door exec roundtables, and podcasts. I do not read slides. I tell stories from active engagements — including the mistakes — and give operators something they can use on Monday morning.
01 Topics
Five things I talk about — well.
Short on purpose. Each topic comes from work I am doing now. If it is not one of these five, the honest answer is usually: ask someone else.
01
Agentic AI
The operator's view — what actually ships for mid-market companies, why most initiatives die in the deck phase, and the decisions that separate reality from theater.

02
Entrepreneurship
Building a small giant — boutique, senior-led, intentional. The lineage from Burlingham's Small Giants to what I am building as CEO of Vstorm, and why that shape still wins for operators who refuse to scale by headcount alone.

03
Strategy
Positioning, bets, and focus inside a category that changes every quarter. Why narrowing is the competitive advantage, and how to decide what not to do when everything feels urgent.

04
GTM
Mid-market go-to-market for services and products. Founder-led sales, first enterprise deals, and the move from hero deals to a repeatable motion without losing the margin.

05
Personal energy
How I operate as a founder — systems for time, attention, and energy. Running transformations, building a company, investing, and writing in public without burning out.
