Product Development Expertise
Bringing innovative mechanical products to market is no easy feat. It's a journey filled with challenges and potential pitfalls. As a seasoned founder, I've raised over $2M in funding and reduced product costs by 64% though supply chain / design improvements in my own appliance manufacturing venture. Now it's my goal to help Entrepreneurs and SMEs accelerate their product to the next stage of growth. Particularly with clients in the renewable energy and consumer appliance industries. Specializations include: • Product Launch: Flexible guidance for entrepreneurs through all stages of growth including product market fit, research, rapid prototyping, operations planning, venture capital and exit strategy. • Mechanical Engineering: Product specification, CAD modeling, prototyping, product testing, design for manufacturing, product certification, product support, and patent development. • Supply Chain: Manufacturer sourcing, supplier relationship management, production planning, product protection strategy and design for manufacturing. I see my clients as partners in a shared journey to success. Let's connect and take your product to the next level together!
