Consulting

I help large large institutions (mainly in financial services, insurance and renewables) build new businesses and products – taking them from concept to market, through the organisational complexity that kills most initiatives before they launch.

I work with executives who are serious about getting something to market, which means I spend as much time managing the internal dynamics as the product itself.

Building the technical product is maybe ten percent of the challenge. The other ninety is everything underneath it — the governance, the compliance frameworks, the data isolation, the internal permissions, the stakeholder trust.

I come at this from two directions simultaneously. I've built companies with my own money, made every mistake worth making, and kept going. I've hired people and had to let them go. I've built products that reached millions of customers across some of the most prominent institutions in European financial services.

But I've also spent enough time inside large organisations like banks, asset managers or insurance companies to know exactly where new initiatives die. The governance cycles that outlast the original sponsor. The compliance review that quietly becomes a veto. The data isolation requirement nobody mentioned in the kickoff. The stakeholder who wasn't in the room but turns out to matter most.

That combination entrepreneurial judgment and enterprise fluency is what I bring to every engagement.

My core focus is financial services, insurance and renewable energy.

Depending on the engagement, I help with:

  • Researching and mapping new business opportunities

  • Aligning stakeholders and creating roadmaps through on-site workshops

  • Building and stress-testing business models, AI initiatives and product roadmaps

  • Creating the processes and structures for how agentic AI actually needs to operate

  • Managing execution across product, UX design, development and go-to-market

  • Working through compliance, data security and IT security requirements

  • Navigating legacy infrastructure and finding pragmatic ways to build around it

  • Managing vendors, external partners and procurement processes

  • Aligning stakeholders and keeping governance processes from becoming a bottleneck

  • Finding and hiring the right people and partners

  • Getting products to market
