Fractional & Consulting
Help without the full-time hire.
I work with leadership teams who need someone to find the actual problem, design the operating model, and get the work moving. Sometimes that means a fractional role. Sometimes it means a focused sprint. Usually it means both over time.

- AI operations design
- Map how work actually happens, find where AI helps and where it hurts, and build the decision framework so the organization does not default to 'automate everything.'
- Product leadership, part-time
- Act as the product brain for a team that needs direction, prioritization, and cross-functional alignment without a full-time executive hire yet.
- Operating model teardowns
- Bring the messy system into the room: processes, tools, ownership gaps, and the unspoken rules. Then redesign it so it holds when I am gone.
- Advisory sprints
- A focused engagement to answer one hard question: should we build this? Where does AI actually fit? Why do our numbers not match our narrative?
A good fit
- You know AI is part of the answer but not the whole answer.
- The mandate is fuzzy and the scope has to be invented.
- You need someone who will ask the awkward questions early.
- You want systems and judgment, not just a slide deck.
Not a fit
- You want a vendor who executes a fixed spec without questioning it.
- The organization is not ready to let the actual problem be named.
- You need full-time coverage for an already-running team of fifty.
I do not sell a package. I start with what you are actually trying to solve and we shape the engagement around that. Here are the forms that tend to work.
Fractional
A steady slice of my week over a few months. Best when the work is ongoing and the team needs a consistent thinking partner.
Advisory retainer
A set number of hours per month for questions, reviews, and escalation. Best for leadership teams who want a second pair of eyes.
Sprint
Two to six weeks on one well-scoped problem. Best when you need clarity fast and a clear handoff at the end.
Someone who treats your operation like a system, not a story. I will map the real workflow, name the assumptions that are costing you, and build something that works after I leave.
I am especially useful when the work sits across functions: product, engineering, operations, legal, finance, customer support. That is where the real friction lives, and that is where I tend to operate.
I am based in Little Rock, AR (US Central time) and work with teams across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Most of the work is remote and async-first, with live sessions reserved for decisions that benefit from real-time conversation.
A typical cadence is one or two standing video calls per week, daily async updates in Slack or your existing tool, and shared documents that stay current between meetings. For kickoffs, workshops, or moments when the team needs to be in one room, I travel. I have run engagements this way for years, and it keeps the work moving without eating the calendar.
I am selective about engagements because I stay hands-on. I currently have room for one fractional or advisory relationship alongside my work at honeycomb.io. I am based in Little Rock, AR and available globally. The best way to start is to tell me what is not working.
A few questions so I know whether I am the right person, and how to reach you.

Let's get into it.
Ambiguous problem, AI adoption that stalled, an operating model that stopped scaling, a support function that should be a product. That is the conversation I want.
