The right research doesn’t just answer questions—it sharpens decisions. 

Whether it’s shaping a product launch, aligning a brand, or forecasting EV adoption, strategy starts by asking the right questions—and using the right method to answer them. Sometimes that means a well-crafted survey. Other times, it’s in-depth interviews, behavioral data, or A/B testing. I match the approach to the decision at stake. 

Over the past decade, I’ve helped teams move beyond data for data’s sake. I focus on turning insight into action—clarifying what matters, aligning stakeholders, and mapping the smartest way forward.
