FAQ

Do you work remote, hybrid or on-site?

All three. I’m flexible across Europe. Remote works well for governance and cadence; on-site workshops help during critical phases.

How do you price engagements?

Depending on needs: assessment sprint (fixed scope), part-time delivery leadership, or critical phase support. Expert calls and speaking are priced per session.

Can you support expert networks (GLG-style) and due diligence?

Yes — for payment processing, mobile gaming delivery context (incl. Scopely experience), and AI program framing/governance at executive level.

Can you deliver web/mobile development?

I can lead the delivery and coordinate trusted engineers/designers (partner-led build). This keeps quality high while maintaining strong governance.
