Hi! I’m Teak (like the wood) and I’m a senior strategist based in New York.

In my work, I use powerful storytelling, deep user understanding, and collaboration across disciplines—with designers, architects, PMs, engineers, and more—to define and drive effective change. I partner with senior client partners to flex horizontally and vertically across projects, teams, and roles to define creative, actionable strategy.

In past lives, I worked at an early-stage VC helping founders go zero-to-one, I wrote and directed an award-winning short film, and I played tenor sax in a jazz quartet. In current life, when not strategizing at my desk, I’m strategizing: climbing walls, word puzzles, concert floors, and my next dinner party.
