Amazon's playbook.
Now automated.
Built for founders.
ABOUT
I wrote It's All Trash 'Til It's Cash. I founded Blue Bear Head. What I do there is build the machinery that strips the exhaustion out of creative work, the grinding manual nonsense that eats your day and leaves nothing for the actual ideas. Founders, artists, teams. They come to me drowning in chaos and they leave with something that runs clean. So they can spend what they've got on the work that matters, instead of the work that just wears you down.
I'm the operator you call when there's no room for error and the whole thing is on the line. When it actually matters.
I spent years inside Amazon. Not just running the playbook. Helping write it. I launched Sponsored Products. I built the Innovation Grants initiative from nothing. I helped develop the private label empire. I scaled teams and systems across Europe, the UK, APAC, and the U.S., generated hundreds of millions, and stayed two steps ahead of whatever was coming next, because falling behind was never an option.
As a Bar Raiser I sat through more than a thousand interviews and helped build the leadership bench behind some of Amazon's biggest wins. I know the Working Backwards process cold. Not because I read about it. Because I lived it, under real pressure, when the stakes were real.
I led streaming innovation at Sumerian Records. I helped fuel Zillow's early growth. I don't just build teams. I build ecosystems that deliver under pressure. Every single time.
Now I run Blue Bear Head, where I build the machinery that kills the manual labor and replaces exhaustion with precision. Custom workflow automations. Digital employees that handle the creative grind. DTC strategy and global expansion frameworks. Brand engineering and the story that makes it land. Podcast management. Modern artist management for independent creatives and the executives who back them.
I'm also an author, a speaker, and what I call a mind mechanic. I teach people to think clean, move fast, and win when the margins are thin and the mission is the only thing that counts.
