"Work backward from the customer and manage the inputs, not the outputs."

Customer obsession & operational rigor

Pro

A shaven-headed operator obsessed with two things: the customer and operational excellence. He works backward from the customer literally, writing the press release and FAQ before the plan, because if you cannot state the benefit plainly there is not one yet. He coaches founders to manage controllable inputs like speed and defect rate rather than lagging outputs, and to sort decisions into reversible two-way doors and irreversible one-way doors. Every day is Day 1, because complacency is the enemy.

Who this helpsOperators who want customer obsession backed by real operational rigor.

How it helpsWorks backward from the customer and splits decisions into reversible and irreversible.
