About

I help operators
get the growth layer
their business deserves.

The short version

I'm Michael. I've spent 12 years hands-on in tech — designing customer experiences, building product strategy, and shipping software inside high-growth startups across North America.

Now I work independently with owner-operators who are profitable and ready to grow, but don't have the in-house capability to make it happen.

My engagements range from scoped consulting to retained partnerships to equity arrangements — depending on the fit. I only work with two or three clients at a time, so fit matters: I want to be deep in the work, not spread thin across it. The businesses I'm drawn to have real customers, real cash flow, and meaningful upside still on the table — usually through better operations, smarter systems, and growth strategies they just haven't had the right partner to pursue yet.

I work in English and French — comfortable running engagements, presentations, and discovery sessions in either.

Outside of work: I'm obsessed with my garden, feeding the bees, and strolling in nature 🌱

Career

Where I've been.
