After a successful corporate career, you’ve reached the point where you’re ready to build something of your own.

You have the deep expertise, the reputation, and the drive. But you've likely discovered the skills that made you a brilliant executive aren't the same skills required to launch a profitable independent business from scratch.

I understand this transition because I've lived it from every angle—from the inside of a major corporation, from the trenches of a bootstrapped startup, and from the boardroom of a VC-backed company.

I’ve co-founded and scaled businesses to 7 and 8-figures, generating over $20M in revenue.

As Co-Founder and COO of a portfolio of e-commerce brands, I built the operational engine that allowed us to scale. This included growing our customer success team from 1 to 15 agents in just 6 months and managing a global supply chain shipping to over 120 countries—all while maintaining a 4.8/5 Trustpilot score.

As the COO of a VC-backed tech company that raised $3.5M from top-tier investors like Accel and Seedcamp, I built the operational systems—recruiting, HR, culture, finance, customer experience, and business operations—from the ground up.

And at Shopify, I guided over 900 founders through the complexities of building a profitable online business.

Through these experiences, I discovered a fundamental truth: successful ventures aren't built on passion alone. They are built on a strategically engineered market position. The most successful founders don't just pick a niche. They deconstruct their deepest experience and build a potent Niche of One that is impossible to copy.

That's why I created Nicheology. It’s the strategic framework I developed over a decade of building companies and the methodology I've used to guide hundreds of others.

It’s designed to help you translate your decades of hard-won corporate experience into a premium signature program and a go-to-market plan that gives you the clarity and financial return you deserve.
