Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
I work with mid–senior professionals, founders, and growing teams in retail, e-commerce, and consumer businesses who want clearer decisions, stronger planning discipline, and better commercial outcomes.
Most clients come to me for:
- Confusion around planning, prioritization, and execution
- Weak linkage between strategy and daily decisions
- Margin pressure, inventory imbalance, or poor trade performance
- Lack of structured decision frameworks for teams
I don’t offer theory or generic advice.
My work is built on real operating experience — owning P&L, managing buying, trading seasons, inventory planning and leading commercial decisions across global markets.
Frameworks first. Clarity next. Execution always.
It’s a hybrid approach:
Consulting for business and team problems
Mentoring for professionals navigating growth and leadership
Advisory conversations for clarity and direction
The format depends on your need — not a fixed package.
Primarily:
- Retail & DTC
- E-commerce & marketplaces
- Consumer brands (fashion, lifestyle, sportswear)
That said, the decision frameworks apply across industries.
Both.
Individuals: Career clarity, decision-making, leadership growth
Companies / Teams: Planning discipline, commercial strategy, execution alignment
A strategy call is a focused, structured conversation where we:

The initial call is complimentary and designed to ensure mutual fit.
Yes — for the right fit.
This can include:

- Project-based consulting
- Leadership mentoring
All engagements are custom, not templated.
Yes.
I regularly share insights, frameworks, and thinking on LinkedIn, YouTube, and this platform to help professionals think better — even without working with me directly.
I’m based in Dubai, UAE and work globally with clients across regions and time zones.
