President
5/2012 - Present
I lead Daedalus Services, a boutique advisory business focused on growth strategy and business case planning for new ventures, as well as issues of economic development. We work with project sponsors and investors and our differentiating factors are tied to:
- a strong experience base developed from working on a wide range of engagements globally;
- a pragmatic and data-driven approach to our work; and
- a preference for iterating ideas through extensive modeling and logic exercises.
