About Kristy Tupper

I help executives and founders make sense of complexity across organizations, products, and growth and turn it into forward momentum.Through Open Concept Strategy & Innovation Consultants (OCSI), I partner with founders and leadership teams on business strategy, product strategy, and planning, helping them define what to build, why it matters, and how to execute without overengineering. This includes executive strategy engagements, operating model design, and hands-on workshops that align teams around real priorities.I’m often brought in when leaders are asking:Why isn’t this product or offering landing?How do we turn data and AI into real business value?How do we scale product, delivery, and GTM together?My work sits at the intersection of business strategy, product leadership, and AI-enabled delivery, translating ambiguity into clear roadmaps, decision frameworks, and execution-ready plans.I specialize in build, fix, and scale moments:Early product and business model definitionProduct or GTM resetsAI and data strategy clarityOrganizational and delivery model transitionsToday, I work through OCSI as a fractional product and AI strategy leader, while also supporting micro and early-stage businesses with business modeling, planning, and facilitated workshops that create focus and momentum without the overhead of a full-scale operating team.
