John G.
Business Strategy Consultant | Excel, Research, EdTech & Learning
I’m a founder, CEO, and consultant with experience spanning business strategy, financial and operational analysis, market research, Excel modeling, education, curriculum development, and digital learning products. I help organizations take complicated ideas or messy information and turn them into clear strategies, practical systems, and better decisions. My background combines more than 20 years in education with curriculum development, instructional design, EdTech product evaluation, UX analysis, mathematics, business strategy, and organizational leadership. I’ve worked as a teacher, curriculum developer, education company founder, and product and operations leader, so I’m comfortable moving between learning, product, and business questions. I can help with projects involving: • Curriculum and course audits, restructuring, and development • Instructional design and learning experience improvement • EdTech product and UX review • Math and STEM content development and evaluation • Research, surveys, and customer insight • Excel dashboards, pricing, forecasting, and decision models • Process improvement and operational planning I also bring hands-on experience with budgeting, profitability analysis, market research, organizational planning, marketing strategy, and business development. My approach is practical and decision-focused. I look at what is working, what is getting in the way, and what should change next. I do not just organize information or point out problems. I help turn analysis into clear recommendations and, when appropriate, help implement the solution.
