Dangerous

Relentless in

Commercialization

I’m an executive operating at the intersection of strategy, narrative force and commercialization.

It’s common

to rely on three different
leaders to do this well.

1.

AN ARCHITECT

Builds brand architecture, product pipelines,
and market-facing systems.


2.

A PROVOCATEUR

Makes innovation legible, emotional,
and impossible to ignore.


3.

A BUILDER

Turns ideas into adoption, partnerships
and revenue.

These capabilities are usually covered by a mix of internal teams
and external agencies.
I pilot all three.

The reason is

SIMPLE

I’m not very good at performing
professional personas.

Instead

I have a principles-based operating system
that informs how I build, lead, and choose
where I work.

1.

Extraordinary is the minimum

Life and work should
be above ordinary.


2.

Peace is a practice

Clarity, calm and
coherence matter.


3.

Be reliably gritty

Do it, with resolve, until it’s done.


4.

Relationships are meaningful

Creating a cohort of deep, loyal
relationships really matters.

The
Operating
System

in practice.
