What I Do

I help organizations developing capital-intensive technologies navigate the challenges of scale-up, pilot plants, manufacturing strategy, and commercialization.

My experience spans industrial biotechnology, chemicals, renewable fuels, electrochemistry, and advanced manufacturing.

I work with founders and technical leaders to identify critical decisions, understand risk, and build practical paths from laboratory success to commercial deployment.

Let’s stay connected

Whether you're evaluating the move to a pilot plant, refining a manufacturing strategy, developing a commercialization roadmap, or simply want to discuss scale-up challenges, I'd be glad to connect.
