Founder · Level 101
I founded Level 101 in 2000. It has been my channel of operation ever since: sometimes my job, sometimes my bona fides, sometimes dormant.
Today Level 101 is scaled down on purpose. Clients work with the senior person directly. The judgment they are buying has a name and a face.
The short version
I started in solutions delivery, building websites and web applications. That work put me close to customers and close to the business.
Agile project work taught me how decisions actually move through a company. It also taught me to speak with a corporate executive and a small nonprofit leader in the language each one uses.
That path led to leadership rooms and the C suite. The work became strategic planning and product development. In my world, the product was the customer experience, or it was a startup.
Now I advise founders and operators who are operating well but not innovating enough to make the next move.
