The Arc

The same kind of shift, twice.

In the 1990s I helped businesses rethink their operations, and some of them their whole business model, around the Internet. AI is the same kind of shift. The companies that win won’t add it to how they work today. They’ll redesign the business around it.

1

The Internet years

Consulting with companies rethinking their operations and business models around the web. The lesson: understand the business, the customer, the operations and the data before the technology.

2

Product leadership

Leading product from pre-seed startups to UnitedHealthcare, then advising digital health companies on product, go-to-market and operations.

Building AI-native

Building an agentic health startup with PBA: one leader carrying the business model, the product behavior and the handoff to coding agents.

My view: AI-native companies will replace old business models rather than improve them. That is what I’m building, and what I help clients do.

Why PBA Exists

Execution isn’t the bottleneck. Decision speed is.

Across startups, a Fortune 20 company and advisory work, the same thing slowed products down: decisions made late, or never. AI made the build fast and exposed it. PBA is how I make those decisions first, and it’s what I bring to every engagement.
