Services

Three ways to work together. Each one is run by me, personally.

Business Development & Partnerships

Retained monthly

For companies with a product worth buying that need the right buyers, partners or sponsors to say yes.

  • I build the target list: who decides, who influences, and who is actually buying this year.
  • I open the rooms, sometimes on a relationship I have had for decades, sometimes with a cold call.
  • I build the deck, the CRM and the follow-up, and I run them.
  • I work each deal through negotiation to signed paper.

What that has looked like A $500,000 Yahoo sponsorship sold against a tour I conceived. $250,000 in festival sponsorship, including Subaru and Whole Foods. 20+ enterprise partners onboarded under LOI from a standing start. And Putumayo's Events Division, built from one idea pitched to the CEO.

CEO Advisory

As little as an hour a week

For founders and CEOs who want an experienced executive outside the company following the story week over week.

It covers partnerships, market entry, go-to-market, fundraising narrative, M&A, and whatever else is on your desk that week.

What that has looked like Fifteen months of weekly strategy with the CEO of an immersive technology studio, through to its acquisition by a publicly traded company. Nearly four years reporting directly to the CEO of a publicly traded technology company.

Interim Event & Festival Leadership

By the engagement

For festivals, live events and brands staging large-scale experiences that need an experienced operator in the chair.

I can take ownership of programming and talent, production, budget, permits, sponsors and the team, or step into only the parts you need. I have hired and run the teams behind my own festivals and concerts, so I can build one or work inside yours. I also produce conferences: stage, sound, light, speakers and logistics.

What that has looked like 7 multi-day and 40 single-day festivals a year at Wanderlust, booking 750+ artists against a seven-figure talent budget. Co-founding Tadasana Festival. Advising on the production of the largest concert in Cuban history, the 450,000-person Major Lazer show in Havana.
