At The Assist, we bring a fresh, human-centered approach to program advisory. We read the market, build the pipeline, and execute under pressure.
After 27 years, 15 as a player and 12 more as a Division I coach and Director of Basketball Operations, I pivoted into enterprise tech. I closed multi-million-dollar deals and built the go-to-market strategies that drove growth inside one of the largest SaaS ecosystems in the world. That same rigor is what we bring to your program’s branding, recruiting, and operations.
We get in the huddle with you, and we execute, together.
