Areas of Expertise
Market Positioning
I've helped companies come up with optimal taglines, positioning statements, target markets, etc.
Go To Market Strategy
Should you target payers, providers, employers, universities, government programs, or go direct to consumer? Depending on the regulations, incentives, market opportunities, product design, and so on, I've helped companies find the best area to make their first foray into the market.
Competitive Landscape
I've put together numerous overviews of competitors, allies, partners, and other companies in a target market. These can be high level on a swath of companies, or more focused on one or two key competitors and their product/business differentiators.
