Networking

If you reach out, chances are I’m open to helping—but help me help you.

I value clarity. Small talk and prolonged pleasantries tend to slow things down, so I prefer direct, concise communication that gets to the point quickly. The more focused you are, the more evidence you show of having done your own homework, and the clearer the ask, the more likely I am to engage.

What matters most is substance: a well-defined problem, a thoughtful question, or a concrete proposal. Prior collaboration, past or future, also goes a long way. Whether we’ve met before is far less important than whether the interaction is useful and respectful of time. Please understand I'm not looking to be sold any product, service, investment opportunity or anything similar.

If you believe that I may be a great fit in your organization someday, contact me at my e-mail address or on LinkedIn. I'm not looking to move at the moment but life has also taught me the value of serendipity. And who knows, maybe I may convince you that you're a great fit for my organization instead.
