Solve the science, build a credible path to product and get the R&D team moving in the same direction.
For founders, investors and R&D leaders in chemistry, advanced materials and deep tech.
Bring a fresh technical perspective to the science, data and experimental plans. Challenge assumptions, determine why results do not add up and develop creative solutions. Compare technical alternatives and identify the strongest approach.
Identify the main technical risks, what still needs to be proven and how to meet product requirements. Design experiments that reduce those risks and close the gaps, then build a clear path from promising lab results to a reliable, scalable process.
Reduce noise and clarify priorities, roles and accountability. Help R&D leaders grow, improve collaboration and trust across functions and create an environment that supports honest, respectful technical debate and the difficult decisions needed to accelerate R&D.
Get an independent view of what is holding R&D back. Examine the technical work, team capabilities and leadership practices to determine whether the bottleneck is technical, organizational or both. Identify the decisions and changes most likely to improve performance.
Get an independent assessment of what has been proven, what remains uncertain and which technical risks matter most. Challenge assumptions, clarify the evidence and identify what needs to happen next throughout product development and commercialization.
Use a focused review to get an independent perspective before a major technical, product, investment or organizational decision. Test assumptions, compare options, understand the trade-offs and choose the strongest path.
Work through a defined technical, product-development or R&D leadership challenge, or a connected mix of them, with clear scope and goals. Move from diagnosis to practical recommendations and support as the team puts them into practice.
Bring in senior R&D support and an experienced outside perspective across technical, product and leadership challenges as they evolve. Connect decisions across these areas, keep priorities aligned, work through difficult choices and strengthen the leaders and teams responsible for delivery.

I advise founders, investors and R&D leaders on turning deep science into products, especially when the usual technical approach is not working. My work connects technical problem-solving, product development and the leadership and teams needed to deliver results.
I am a Ph.D. organic chemist, R&D leader and inventor on more than 40 patents, with postdoctoral research experience at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California. For over 15 years, I have solved complex technical problems and led multidisciplinary R&D teams across energy storage, smart glass, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, polymers, coatings and advanced materials.
I help teams diagnose why development is stuck, develop new solutions and design the experiments needed to resolve critical uncertainties. I also help R&D leaders set clear priorities, apply practical agile methods and strengthen both technical and people leadership.
Use a free 30-minute introductory call to discuss a difficult technical problem, a challenge in turning science into a product, R&D performance or an upcoming technology decision. Clarify the situation, explore where an independent perspective could help and decide whether there is a useful way to work together.
