About

My career didn’t start in a boardroom.
It started in a nursing home.

For 25 years, I wasn’t a consultant, I was the director of an elderly-care facility. I didn't just talk about strategy; I managed the daily, complex, and deeply human reality of healthcare delivery. I balanced budgets, negotiated with governements, comforted families, and worked side-by-side with frontline health care workers.
That experience taught me a fundamental truth: the most brilliant idea is worthless if it can't survive contact with reality. I learned to spot the difference between a solution that looks good on a slide and one that a tired nurse will actually use at 3 AM.

From care home to code: A builder's mentality

But I also saw the immense potential for technology to solve deep-seated problems. Frustrated by the clunky, off-the-shelf software available, I did something unusual: I decided to build my own.
I co-founded and built two early SaaS companies, JPLAN and CALBLOX, from the ground up. I went from zero-to-one, writing the first lines of code, pitching investors, and navigating the complexities of daily operations. It was in the trenches of software development that I learned how to turn a fuzzy concept into a functional, revenue-generating product.
This isn't a typical consultant’s background. I’m not just an advisor; I am a builder and an operator. I have been on both sides of the table; the healthcare executive demanding results and the tech founder trying to deliver them.

Hyperadvancer Philosophy:
Speed, Substance & Self-Reliance

Today, I bring that unique combination of frontline empathy and relentless execution to every client engagement.
I founded Hyperadvancer to solve the problem I saw everywhere: innovation that was too slow, too disconnected from the business, and too dependent on endless consulting retainers.
My approach is different.
I compress timelines. By orchestrating high-intensity accelerators, workshops and hackathons, I help you achieve in days what often takes months of wrangling.
I cross-pollinate ideas. My work spans healthcare, pharma, F&B, and big tech, allowing me to see opportunities others miss.
I make myself redundant.
My goal is not to create dependency. It is to embed the skills, processes, and mindset your team needs to carry the torch forward long after our engagement ends.
Whether you're a hospital C-suite, a pharma R&D team, or a government agency, you need more than just another strategy document. You need decisive progress.

About

Before I was a consultant, I spent 25 years running a care facility.
I know the realities of frontline staff and C-suite pressures.
I also built SaaS products from the ground up.
This unique blend means I don't just give you a strategy;
I help you execute it in the real world.
