The work starts
with the right
conversation.

Advisory work for founders and operators. Speaking for conference organizers. Two paths. Pick yours.

Advisory

You have a technically complex product. The story is not working yet.

ThinkRoot offers fractional advisory engagements for technically complex enterprise software companies and AI-era founders — organizations where the gap between what the product does and what the market understands is widest, and most expensive to leave open.

What the engagement looks like

  • Positioning and messaging architecture built from the product outward, not from a template inward.
  • AI narrative workshops for PMM and GTM teams. Half-day, deliverable-backed, practitioner-taught.
  • Fractional retainer at 10 to 20 hours per month. Narrative architecture, analyst briefing prep, competitive framing, field enablement.
  • Scoped project engagements for specific launches, repositioning efforts, or GTM story development.

Speaking

A practitioner voice. Not a panel moderator.

Gartner IT Symposium, ServiceNow Knowledge, Service Management World, World Forums, CreatorCon. The talks that land best are the ones where the audience is technically literate and the speaker is not reading from a slide.

Topics that work

  • The AI arc — how enterprise IT narrative must evolve from feature announcement to transformation proof.
  • Making technically complex products impossible to ignore in market.
  • The architecture of a demo that actually changes how someone thinks about a product.
  • Building a PMM function inside an enterprise AI organization from scratch.
