Work with me

I'm a consultant and analyst working at the intersection of media, technology, and culture.

I work with tech and media companies to help them navigate fast-changing competitive landscapes; identify business opportunities and partnerships; and create and capture cultural and economic value. My focus is on market research, strategy, technology scouting, and partnerships.

Select clients include corporations (Meta, TF1), institutions (Marché du Film), startups (Seeker Music, Ircam Amplify, Kinetix), VC firms (BITKRAFT, Level-Up, Delphi Digital), consultancies (Naavik, Wonderhop LLC), and more.

I’ve:

  • Helped the partners of a $25M gaming-focused VC broaden their investment thesis through market research and mapping

  • Identified growth opportunities across the music technology landscape to drive a $300M music royalty fund’s strategy

  • Worked closely with 3 startup founders to help them improve their storytelling before and during the fundraising process

  • Conducted competitive analysis and market sizing and devised go-to-market for 5 B2B audio technology products

  • Produced 10+ market research reports that helped identify business opportunities and prioritize product roadmaps

For ways to work together, I offer hourly consulting, fee-based projects, and monthly project-based retainers.
