Why me?
I’ve been in the IT space for over a dozen years and have seen this industry evolve from the desktop space to the online world and now to the mobile devices revolution.
I’ve seen promising companies fade out because they focused on the wrong things or did not have the power and expertize to speed up development and growth when it was needed.
I’ve helped online and offline companies launch and grow from a position of leadership, management, advisory or boots on the ground.
I’ve had my fair share of failure and success. I’ve surrounded myself with people way smarter than I am to help me grow.
I’ve understood that entrepreneurship can be a lonely game and you need all the support you can get to get to and stay at the top.
I can do that for you, too.
Product Creation
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
Peter DruckerYou’re onto something and you’re ready to grow. But you need to do that in a smart and cost effective way. There are many ways to build a successful product and many mistakes first time entrepreneurs make. Let me guide you through them.
There are many methods and methodologies for product building. And depending on your product and sector there’s one that works best for you.
You need to start with an MVP – Minimum Viable Product. Why? Because otherwise you might end up spending your time and money on features your customers don’t want, need or know how to use.
Regardless of your own ideas about the product, your customers will know best and will be able to guide you to build the best product for them. You’re not Steve Jobs. Even the mighty Steve got a few things wrong and the customers got him on the right track. Like the AppStore. He initially thought it was a bad idea.
Each new release of the product should fix the main bugs, bring new useful features, but increasingly important nowadays is to bring delightful features that don’t have a lot of priceless functionality but instead make your users smile, or wonder at your product’s beauty.
You want your product to be delivered on time, on budget, with a good quality and have a product / market fit.
What can I help you with?
- Iterative planning and product building
- Build surprising wow moments into your product
- Finding a high quality, cost effective development partner

Launch Strategy
If a tree falls in a forest and nobody’s around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Some ancient philosopherYOLO – You Only Launch Once.
If done properly, you can turn your launch into a massive, profitable event. But orchestrating the perfect launch is not easy. There are many moving pieces you have to know of and know how to best use. Don’t you want to do it right?
If you just hit the publish button and don’t do a proper launch will anybody hear about your book, product or service?
You Only Launch Once so make sure you take full advantage of this unique event.
It’s a moment when you can get your friends and followers to rally behind your book, product or service to create a large momentum.
It’s a moment when you can get the press – be it traditional or modern digital outlets – to take an interest in you and amplify your story.
It’s a moment when you can step into the business world with a big bang or when you will hear crickets.
There are many tools, tips and tricks that can be used in a successful launch. I’ve used many of them in the launches I’ve been a part of, or seen other successful businesses use.
Choosing the right tools from this large toolbox and using them properly is no easy task.

Business Coaching
If your business depends on you, you don’t own a business—you have a job. And it’s the worst job in the world because you’re working for a lunatic!
Michael E. GerberThere are countless areas you need to master nowadays to be successful in business. Having somebody who’s seen a lot of businesses work with you on your challenges, strategy and implementation will save you endless frustration, time and money.
Most businesses start because the founder is passionate about a subject he is really good at and loves to do.
You turn your passion, your craft, your skill into a business. But soon you find yourself taken away from your core competency and doing many other tasks you don’t really enjoy or are particularly good at.
You will probably learn, by trial and error to push through it and make it work. But it won’t be efficient, effective or fun.
You won’t have the systems and procedures in place to set you up for success.
You will be moving slower than you could and should, leaving money on the table or gathering losses. This might mean that others will take your front and depending on your business or sector not moving fast enough can be fatal.
I can’t offer a strategy or advice for any business. But try me out and let’s see if I can help yours.

Don’t take my word. Take theirs.
Ovi helped me think outside the box. Without his creative thought process InspireLink wouldn’t have the clarity it has today.
Brian BensonReaching out to Ovi was one of the best moves I made. Having a face-to-face call with someone to keep me focused, expand my marketing scope and challenge my current strategy has been one of the healthiest things for my startup.
