I work with defense-tech and dual-use startups that have real technology and an underpowered story, stepping in as your head of marketing without the full-time hire.

You're in the right place if:

• You're a Series A or B company whose next raise or program office meeting matters more than your last one and you know your current materials won't carry it.

• You're an early-stage founder with a high-stakes moment coming: a program office briefing, a prime pitch, a pilot you need to convert. You don't need a marketing team. You need the room to go well.

• You already have marketing leadership but need someone who's sat on the government side of the table for a specific push: a repositioning, a launch, a funding narrative.

I also take on select engagements with established dual-use companies entering or expanding their defense business — the translation problem is the same; the starting point is different.

You're probably not in the right place if you're looking for demand-gen execution, a logo refresh, or someone to run your ads. I build the positioning, messaging, and materials that help you earn the room — with program offices, defense primes, and investors.
