Businesses

One industry, understood deeply — not many, served thinly.

I've spent nearly five decades in a single world: the building products industry. That depth is the point. I don't advise across sectors I've only read about — I work where I've actually built, sold, led, and learned.

The World I Know

The building products industry, end to end.

My work spans the architectural window, door, curtain wall, and building products industry — from the manufacturers who make the products to the distributors, dealers, and installers who bring them to market, and the architects, developers, and owners who specify and depend on them. I understand how the whole chain fits together, because I've worked at nearly every point along it.

FIG. — BRIDGING TWO MARKETS
A Distinct Specialty

Helping European manufacturers enter North America.

One area of my work stands apart: helping European manufacturers understand and enter the North American building products market. It's a path where strong products routinely fail — not on quality, but on the technical, cultural, and commercial differences that separate the two markets. I help bridge that gap, aligning engineering, certification, distribution, positioning, and sales into a practical long-term strategy.
