The story
What I'm good at — and what I'm still learning.
Who you'd be dealing with, in my own words. The factual record — roles, dates, numbers — lives in the résumé below.
I know data and analytics cold — a dozen years of it inside large banks and financial firms. Advising owners directly is the newer seat. What carries across both is a program manager's habit of getting hard things done on real deadlines, and a genuine interest in how businesses actually work.
The range. I'm an international transplant, and much of my career has been translating between people who don't share a language — the analysts building the models and the executives who need a decision. I'm as at home across a BNI table from a tradesperson as in a room of PhDs. That breadth is the point: I'm the generalist who keeps the whole board in view.
Why business owners. Because small businesses are the most interesting classroom in commerce, and advising owners lets me learn one from the inside. These engagements are transactions — mine just run longer than a broker's and aren't contingent on a deal closing. Relationships get built by closing a lot of them well. My fees are flat and disclosed; where an incentive would conflict, I step aside.
Why travel. The advisory work is intense; travel is the counterweight. Through Hithkari Travels I plan unhurried, done-for-you trips — I carry the logistics so the trip doesn't become a second job. Same instinct in both ventures: take the hard, detailed parts off your plate.
The record is below — dates and numbers, not adjectives.
