  My strength is to combine strategy, technical visionary and business go-to-market together. I understand when a technology has industry-changing potential. Afterwards I design a multi-step lean startup plan to solve a critical industry problem. In phase 1 I use open source to drive competitors out of the market but in phase 2 there is always a massive revenue plan. Finally I teach sales and BD how to sell solutions by closing the first deals and signing up the first partners. From there we scale up.
