I built eVirtual Roundtables, letting executives meet face-to-face online, across time zones, in real peer groups—no travel, no conference rooms, just screens and accountability. Seven years later, Zoom became a household name; by then I had already shut the doors. That failure taught me more than my MBA ever did: being right about the future doesn't protect you from bad timing.

Maestro Suite Advisors draws on me when strategic or fractional CFO skills are needed. I go beyond clean books. I use the ScaleUp methodology developed by Verne Harnish to help founders anticipate what breaks during growth before it becomes a crisis — cash flow, margins, decision-making rhythm, team alignment. Where most financial advisors remain cautious about AI, I guide leadership teams from tech fear to confident, practical adoption.
