SERVICES

Innovative Tech Advisory Tailored to Your Needs.

At Tech Biz Advisors, I offer rapid, executive-level assessments within a single day, delivering unvarnished, actionable insights that AI alone cannot replicate. No strings, no fluff—just plain facts and clarity.​

What I Do

1-Day Executive Assessment

I dive into your strategy, messaging, and materials to identify:

  • What’s missing
  • What’s unclear
  • What’s superfluous

 

You’ll receive:

  • Actionable recommendations tailored for decision-makers
  • Honest, unvarnished feedback: I call it like I see it
  • A clear path forward
01
Core Approach
  1. Quick Entry, Quick Exit
    • One-day, high-impact assessments.
    • Delivering value fast without overstaying my welcome.
  2. Unvarnished Truth
    • No sugarcoating: You’ll get clear, candid insights.
    • Calling it like I see it—even when the “emperor has no clothes.”
  3. AI-Augmented Analysis
    • I combine AI-driven data analysis with human experience, intuition, and expertise.
    • Ensuring innovative solutions that are also practical and actionable.
02
Why Tech Biz Advisors Stands Out

At Tech Biz Advisors, I leverage 40 years of cross-functional CxO-level experience across:

  • Executive Leadership
  • Business Development
  • Marketing
  • Operations
  • Product Development

 

I’ve worked in both startups and publicly traded companies, giving me a unique ability to think like an executive who has led and scaled organizations of all types. My holistic perspective ensures strategies that are:

  • Innovative and practical
  • Aligned with your business objectives
  • Free of fluff or follow-on commitments

 

AI alone cannot replicate this. I empower decision-makers with the clarity to move forward confidently.

03
Why Choose Tech Biz Advisors?

AI + Human Expertise
Generative AI is powerful, but it lacks judgment, experience, and intuition. I integrate AI tools, then enhance them with decades of business leadership:

  • Company and product positioning
  • Raising capital: Investor-ready clarity
  • Corporate and product messaging refinement
  • Re-thinking and improving presentations and materials
  •  

AI complements humans—it doesn’t replace us.
