I help enterprise clients and investors identify high-impact technologies, navigate complex product ecosystems, and translate technical priorities into actionable business strategies. Recent Engagements:*Facilitated a subsidiary/partnership arrangement between an AI-driven climate tech startup and a fortune 50 emitter.*Provided wholistic \"product commercialization\" support to two growth-stage startups, one Direct Air Capture (DAC) and the other Point Source Carbon Capture. I helped founders to de-risk commercialization, secure key customer and partner relationships, and win government funding for pilots.*Supported a hyperscale cloud provider’s datacenter R&D team in assessing and progressing their portfolio of next-generation power and cooling systems as well as climate tech integration. We leveraged technology assessments, competitive research, vendor due diligence, and market forecasting to make long-term partnership recommendations and product development roadmaps.
