About

I help tech leaders and their teams write, design and deliver the presentations they can't afford to get wrong. For 10+ years that's meant working with companies like Accenture, Bosch, myPOS, Paysafe, Ampeco, Chaos Group, Schwarz Digits and many more — on investor pitches, all-hands, keynotes, product launches and the internal presentations that get people promoted. Here's one example. Visionaries Tomorrow — an industrial deep tech fund backed by some of the world's most influential unicorn founders — came to me and our team mid-raise with an otherwise beautiful investor deck. After just one call, we knew the problem. And no, it wasn't their slides. It was the story. We rewrote it and redesigned the slides. 3 months before their fundraising deadline, they closed their $100M fund. That's one. More are below in Featured. My story starts in tech. I'd presented in 25 countries before I turned 25, top-rated speaker at most of them. The obsession with what makes a great presentation great is what made me start 356labs in 2015. Today, 356labs offers three things: Presentations We write, design and coach you to deliver the presentations you can't afford to get wrong. For sales & marketing leaders who want to grow pipeline, founders raising, and execs rolling out a new strategy.
