Over a decade as EVP & CTO at Clear Channel Outdoor. M&A, platform migrations, team scaling, technical debt. Thirty years of lessons in what works and what doesn't. Now I use those lessons and AI tools to build productized services that used to take many more people.
Dropsignal
Podcasters have plenty of ways to promote their show. Guest swaps, social posts, paid ads. All of them live inside the same feeds and algorithms, competing with millions of other shows for the same attention.
Out-of-home was never on the list. Billboards were for big brands with agency budgets and six-figure campaigns. Podcasters didn't even consider it.
Dropsignal changes that. Pick your markets. Subscribe. When you publish a new episode, your show appears on real-world screens across the city. Automatically. No agency. No creative production. No minimum spend. A new growth channel that gets your show in front of people who'd never find it in the feed.
It's the kind of product that only exists because I spent twelve years in OOH and know what's actually possible with the infrastructure, and because modern AI tooling makes it viable to deliver as a self-serve subscription instead of an agency engagement.
Tasuki
Tasuki is an agentic AI consulting practice for PE-backed companies and operating teams. The work starts with a broken process, described in the company's own language, and ends with software the company owns.
Most enterprise software is built for the buyer, not the operator. Companies spend years configuring SaaS to fit how they actually work, or they bend their work to fit the software. The work Tasuki does runs the other way around.
Currently delivering selective advisory in enterprise AI deployment, PE diligence, and platform strategy. Pre-launch on the broader productized practice; recruiting and certifying a founding team of consulting veterans.
Bordmappe
Every enthusiast car has a story buried in its records. Bordmappe pulls it out. Upload the service history, we organize it into a visual timeline tied to the VIN, and the story travels with the car through every owner.
Starting with Porsche. The community that cares most about provenance and has the records to prove it.
Advisory
I also work selectively with PE firms and growth-stage companies on technology diligence, platform strategy, post-close execution, and AI readiness.
I'm most useful when teams need an operator's perspective, someone who's built and lived with these decisions, not just reviewed them. OOH and media tech are the deep specialty, but the pattern recognition translates across media and platform businesses.
If that's what you're looking for, let's talk.
