Well, this is new.
After years of helping companies build Sales, GTM, and leadership teams, I officially launched my Fractional Talent Leadership service here on Contra.
Because sometimes a growing company does not need another stack of résumés.
It needs someone who understands the business, asks the right questions, builds the hiring strategy, and stays close enough to make sure the right people actually get hired.
That is the work I love.
Human-first. Relationship-driven. Built around the company—not a recruiting formula.
If hiring is starting to feel bigger than the team managing it, I would love to talk.

Launching a product is expensive enough without discovering packaging, sourcing or fulfillment problems after production starts.
I put together a 23-page interactive Packaging Development Workbook to help founders and small businesses organize the entire process before those problems become expensive.
It covers product and packaging requirements, supplier RFQs, quote comparisons, domestic vs. overseas sourcing, POP/retail displays, sampling, production approvals, quality control, fulfillment, logistics and retail readiness.
It also includes 400+ fillable fields and checkboxes plus an automatic landed packaging cost and margin calculator, so it can be completed digitally and reused for different projects.
I built it around the same types of real-world decisions I’ve dealt with in packaging, printing, sourcing, production, ecommerce and fulfillment.
Available now on my Contra profile.
currently working on a new project, and it reminded me why the strategy phase is probably my favorite part of the whole process.
whether it’s for a website or a full brand identity, i love going beyond the brief and trying to understand the business as deeply as possible.
the client call, the brief, the old website… those are just the starting point.
then comes the fun part: researching, asking questions, digging deeper, understanding how the business works, who they sell to, what they stand for, how they communicate, and why people should choose them.
sometimes, you even discover things the client knows internally but hasn’t fully articulated yet, or things they’re simply not communicating clearly enough.
that’s what i love about strategy: taking all that information, finding the patterns, and bringing clarity and structure to everything.
honestly, this might be my favorite part of the whole process.
Awesome!
