Cover letter

Why this role, why now, why chess. One page. Why my CV reads the way it does.

CV

Three decades of commercial strategy and partnerships across media, fintech, retail, telecom, and HR-tech. Two pages. What I've actually done.

How I think about Chess.com

A 10-section outside-in deep-dive on Chess.com — company, financials, audience, media, marketing, partnerships, people, competitors, news. Prepared independently from public sources, with confidence badges on every claim. An artifact of how I'd already be working on Day 1.
