Fractional Chief Strategy Officer: Unique Expertise for High-Stakes Decisions
I've consistently found it impossible to pick a favourite between seeking to understand our physical world and our societal one. Since then, I've worked across the breadth of early-stage R&D to at-scale commercial deployment, and from strategy inception to tackling the growth pains of scale-up. After 20+ years, the various roles, technologies, and business models I've covered include: C-suite strategic leadership in M&A, venture capital, and market entry; deep technical understanding of the electricity system encompassing generation, storage, EV infrastructure, and industrial electrification; advanced financial modelling for asset and company-level investment-grade forecasting; hands-on data analytics for decision-making, including AI-enabled approaches; and cross-sector consulting that spans medtech, fintech, and innovation-led start-ups.
As agile as you are
Many innovative companies reach a point where the next stage of growth relies on making the right strategic moves quickly. However, hiring a full-time Chief Strategy Officer can often be premature and costly during these times. A Fractional CSO on retainer serves as a trusted senior leadership partner, providing the necessary expertise in cross-sector consulting and data analytics decision-making to tackle the challenges at hand effectively.

Additionally, I lead critical initiatives such as market entry, investment readiness, and product positioning, leveraging cross-sector consulting to achieve your goals — all without the cost of a full-time C-suite hire.
