Akamai Strategy was born from two unique experiences. My consultancy practice from 2001-2014 was strategic; delivering strategy, planning and advocacy at the senior executive level.  

TEEM, my primary venture of the past 6 years, is a full-service marketing agency where I found myself in the weeds on implementation, including advertising, digital campaigns, and complex team assembly and management.

I loved consulting, but wanted to ensure that high level strategy and planning delivered results in the real world.  And in running an agency, I found myself so immersed in tactical minutiae that I couldn’t see the forest for the trees.

Akamai Strategy represents the best of both worlds.
