For 22+ years, I’ve driven a single truth into every founder and team I work with: no company grows without an intimate, almost obsessive understanding of its buyer.

My work centers on the psychology behind decisions—what buyers trust, fear, believe, and ignore. I teach organizations to abandon internal bias, step into the buyer’s world, and build everything from that perspective outward.

I write, speak, and build tools like BuyerTwin to help companies hardwire buyer understanding into their daily operations—because the greatest competitive advantage isn’t product, brand, or funding. It’s how deeply you understand the humans you serve.
