I’m a SAFe Fellow and previously held P&L responsibility at Accenture. I also wrote The Performance Machine and Small Firm, Big Impact.

I build products and partnerships that help services companies turn their expertise into work they can deliver repeatedly. I built Scaled Agile’s partner ecosystem. Today I lead Product and Alliances at The Select Group, where I work on digital twins and services priced against measurable client outcomes.

What I’ve built

Scaled Agile. I built the partner ecosystem that helped Scaled Agile reach and support customers through other firms. It’s where I learned how much of a product’s success depends on whether partners can put it to work with their own clients.

The Select Group. I lead Product and Alliances, turning specialist expertise into services clients can buy and teams can deliver consistently. One example is the service we launched with Frenos to help operators assess security using a digital twin, without touching production.

Mattis & Co. Running my own consultancy taught me what it takes to earn a client’s trust and build an offering that can outlast any one engagement. That experience became the basis for Small Firm, Big Impact.

If you’re building a product or partner business inside a services company, or looking for an executive to lead that work, get in touch.

In October 2026 we launched TSG/ControlBurn with Frenos, a service that uses a digital twin of an OT network to test security without touching production.

I learned much of this running Mattis & Co. Later, I led Under Armour’s global military and tactical business, carried P&L responsibility at Accenture, and built Scaled Agile’s partner ecosystem. Owning Orion’s Kin Media put marketing strategy and production under the same roof. Today I also own 58 Nights Media.

At TSG, that experience comes together in the work of turning expertise into offerings we can deliver repeatedly. Current work includes a digital twins practice and engagements priced against measurable client outcomes. The work carries through delivery and adoption, where clients have to put what we build to use.

This site is where I write through those questions, alongside fatherhood, service, and whatever else I’m figuring out (there is usually something).

Digital Twins for Operational Resilience

My first experience with digital twins came in 2018 when I founded Valor Cycles, a project with the goal of winning a stage of the Tour de France with an American manufactured bike. The frames were made from carbon tubes, joined at lugs we 3D printed out of chopped carbon fiber. The commercial goal was to be able to create bespoke bikes that fit each cu…

The Discolored Square at Tide Point

I came to College Park, MD this week to visit a client who is doing some of the most innovative and important work on the planet (and no, it’s not AI). While here, I decided to visit my old neighborhood in Baltimore.
