I focus on substance over small talk. My sessions are consistently praised for being “clear, on point, smart, and thoughtful.”
I move beyond theory to deliver practical frameworks that fundamentally “shift your thinking” about value and strategy. Your team will leave with essential clarity and approaches they can use to invest their time strategically.

my story
My work is driven by a deep respect for time, a conviction born from a first job spent guarding an empty pool, watching the clock tick life away. This led to a career in strategic roles where I discovered a frustrating truth: even the smartest teams with great strategies struggled to be strategic. They were trapped in a cycle of hyperactive drift, working hard but failing to gain real traction.
I founded Point:Value to change this reality and developed the frameworks I now share on stage. As the author of the WTP Substack and a sought-after expert on the value economy, I've delivered talks for curious teams at places like Babson and the Ascent Conference.
Each talk I give is designed to replace hyperactive drift with focus and give your team the tools to make the most of their time.
