Two ways to work with me.

Bringing the right people to the table, and helping decide what to do once they're there. Both rest on the same idea: build for the long term and keep the whole system in view.

Connector Mandates
Who this is for:

Founders, investors and industrial companies looking for the right counterpart in Europe, whether a partner or an investor. I make the introduction, prepare both sides and stay with it until it holds.

What we do together
  • Finding the counterpart: investors, industrial partners or licensees that genuinely fit. A short list, not a long one.

  • Preparing both sides: a brief up front, so the first conversation starts at the right level.

  • Making the introduction: personally and with context. Never cold.

  • Staying with it: until terms are agreed and the relationship stands on its own.

Where I connect:
How it works

Aerospace & mobility · Digital sovereignty & cloud · Energy infrastructure · Industrial technology · Capital & investors

Every mandate starts with a conversation about what you need and who would genuinely fit. If I can't see the match, I'll tell you. If I can, we agree terms in writing before the first introduction.

Strategic Advisory
Who this is for:

Leadership teams entering new markets or partnerships in regulated industries: automotive, energy, aerospace, financial services. Analysis first, then one clear recommendation. AI comes in where it actually helps, not because it's expected.

What we do together
  • Market entry: which markets, which entry point, and when.

  • OEM and Tier-1 partnerships: from first contact to commercial nomination.

  • Long-cycle pipelines: opportunities that convert over 12 to 36 months.

  • Regulation as part of the decision: EU AI Act, NIS2 and DORA, read for what they mean commercially.

  • AI with a reason: an honest check of where it helps your business and where it doesn't.

The approach

I've spent my career on the commercial side of complex industrial business, working with companies like BMW, Rolls-Royce and Bosch. That's the lens I bring: what a decision means for the business, and who needs to be in the room for it to happen.

How I work

Long-cycle, not transactional

Systems first

Honest, not comfortable

Embedded, not distant

The best outcomes take time. I work with clients who know that patient, structured effort lasts longer than quick interventions.

Every engagement starts from the whole: market, organisation, technology, people. Then the recommendation.

I'll tell you what I see, including what you may not want to hear. That's what an outside view is for.

I work alongside your team. The goal is to build your capability, not dependency on me.
