Advisor and board roles

I take a small number of formal advisor roles each year, and am selectively open to board appointments where my CPO experience and AI-native product expertise are directly relevant.

The best way to reach me is a short email. The pre-qualifying filter is below, read it before you send.

Looking for

  • AI-native or AI-transitioning companies, Series A through C
  • Teams building product for the agent era, not bolting AI on SaaS
  • Founders and CEOs who want an operator-advisor, not a figurehead
  • A clear, specific question where my CPO experience moves the needle

Not looking for

  • Pre-product, pre-revenue companies (I can send you to someone better)
  • Consumer, hardware, or deep infrastructure (outside my zone)
  • Equity-only arrangements without a defined scope
  • “Advisor” calls on calendar that produce nothing

How to send the email

Three lines is enough:

  1. 1.The company and stage
  2. 2.The specific thing you want help with
  3. 3.One line on why me

I reply to every fit. If it isn't a fit, I'll say so quickly and point you elsewhere if I can.
