About Bryan

I have spent most of my career working at the intersection of strategy, technology, startups, and international business. Originally from Houston, Texas, undergrad at University of Pennsylvania in their Management and Technology Program (M&T). I worked across M&A, venture capital, corporate development, and startup operations, helping technology companies grow, commercialize, and expand across markets. Much of my work has sat between the U.S. and China, which has shaped how I think about business: not just as strategy on paper, but as execution across different customers, cultures, teams, and market realities. I have worked on transactions, partnerships, commercialization plans, and operating problems across sectors including enterprise technology, clean tech, energy, and industrial innovation. I went back to school at MIT Sloan because I wanted to (1) go from the general tech world and focus in energy/cleantech and (2) get a refresh on current trends and deep learning tech. MIT also gave me the chance to step back, connect the different parts of my experience, and learn more about myself and leadership Since then, my work has continued to focus on helping ambitious people and companies make sense of complexity: how to enter new markets, how to position a business, how to commercialize technology, how to tell a credible story, and how to turn scattered experience into a coherent direction. In many ways, that is the through-line of my career. I am drawn to messy, high-potential situations — startups, career pivots, new markets, technical products, non-linear stories — and I like helping people find the structure, strategy, and narrative that move them forward.
