§ 01 · What I Speak About

Talks built from live client work.

AI-native operating models for marketing, product, and design.

How AI changes the unit economics of strategy and execution. What the operating model coming in three years actually looks like inside a marketing function, a product team, or a design org. I run this stack on live clients.

Futures as a working method.

IFTF-trained scenario planning applied to live GTM, product, and brand decisions. How to do foresight work without becoming a futurist on the side.

Story across modalities.

Same thinking, different artifact: written, product, framework, deck, cinematic film. This talk covers how operators carry one argument through every form the story needs.

Healthcare and AI.

Twelve years inside healthcare and healthtech, from payer innovation to blockchain to rare disease. What's actually changing, what isn't, and what the next three years look like for payers, providers, and patient experience.

Unfixed: the posture under adaptive careers.

Unfixed is the operating model under distributed, AI-augmented work. This talk covers why the fixed career is breaking and what replaces it.
