Meet the Founders
We're the strategic consulting duo that bridges the gap between founder vision and technical reality.
Marie helps visionary founders turn big ideas into focused product strategies with clear roadmaps, impactful AI integration, and investor-ready narratives.
For 15+ years, she's built and scaled products across consumer tech, health tech, and enterprise SaaS, from early MVPs to enterprise platforms. At Jasper AI, Mindbody, TripAdvisor, and multiple startups, she shipped products that drove adoption, closed six-figure deals, and secured funding.
Marie specializes in working with mission-driven founders who are inundated by product decisions and ready for clarity. She crafts roadmaps, defines metrics, and integrates AI strategically, so founders can focus on fundraising, growth, and impact.
Henry helps visionary founders understand what they actually built and what it will take to scale it.
After 5 years as an engineer across 4 startups, he kept seeing the same pattern: visionary founders who built something remarkable (with agencies, contractors, or early teams) but weren't sure what they actually had technically. The gap between their bold vision and technical reality was blocking their ability to fundraise, scale, or make confident decisions.
Now he bridges that gap by translating complex technical reality into clear business decisions.
Former mental health counselor turned engineer. Currently helping founders close the gap between vision and technical reality.

Marie is quite possibly superhuman. She’s doing the work of a small team of people, while balancing that with a series of significant changes in product, and being a new parent. Her singular dedication to doing things right, and her affable, thoughtful approach to doing so has inspired me in my own role, and made me better. Marie’s secret power is that she can do just about anything, and make it look like she’s been doing it forever.
Coming back from leave, Marie skipped exactly 0 beats in getting fully into AI’s product needs. She balanced everything we needed, while working with everything for the other 3 platform teams as well. It has been a night and day difference in communication patterns, direction, support, technical product expertise and assistance since she has stepped back into her role.
By driving alignment at the very top level with execs, helping AI button up its value vectors, making clear the initiative work that needs to be done, and working with each of our dependent teams (in platform and engineering), Marie has had a massive uplift in her time back. Her helpful ‘can do’ attitude, willingness to roll up her sleeves and work side by side with whomever to get it all done has changed the game for the AI team the last few weeks. Q4 will be successful because of her hard work.
Technical PM leadership is one of the most valuable things a dev team can have, and we value her contribution so much. Thanks Marie!
In such awe and admiration over the work ethic, teamwork, and customer obsession from Marie. I had the privilege of getting to work with her for the first time on the usage report project and she was truly inspiring to work with. Marie was an incredible lead, keeping our project focused and on-track with high-conviction, confident decision-making and providing thorough documentation to executives, CSMs and our team to ensure clear and consistent communication…I’m so proud of the value we were able to provide to customers thanks to her work and am thankful to get to work with such an impressive woman. Thanks Marie!
Marie and I were both introduced to the Enterprise Capabilities team with limited context and high expectations. Every moment of working with Marie has been exceptional. Even in the brief period we have collaborated, I’ve learned a tremendous amount from her. This includes her perspective on projects and timelines, her exceptional communication skills, and her extensive knowledge about our customers and how to manage an effective team. Her impact has been clearly observed and directly communicated to me by engineers on our team, who have thoroughly enjoyed working with her.
Proactively, Marie scheduled one-on-one meetings with every engineer on the team to foster stronger relationships and gain a deeper understanding of their roles. For the Roles & Permissions project, she transformed a concept into some of the most detailed and effective user stories I’ve ever encountered, all within a very short timeframe. Throughout this process, she has been meticulous in communicating with stakeholders and managing expectations.
Marie’s skills are not just evident; they are exceptional. Beyond her professional capabilities, she is an incredibly kind individual. She has achieved all of this while managing product for all of the platform teams, in addition to Enterprise Capabilities. I love showing up to work when I get to work with you everyday, so thank you for everything you do Marie!
I had the privilege of working with Marie at imaware and Jasper, and I would eagerly do so again.

Marie consistently goes above and beyond in her role.

Her ability to connect deeply with customer needs and translate them into actionable insights sets her apart from every other Product professional I have encountered.
What impresses me most is Marie’s dedication to fostering a collaborative environment. She works seamlessly across various departments, enhancing interdepartmental relationships and driving forward initiatives that benefit the entire organization. Her commitment to diversity and inclusion ensures that diverse perspectives are not only welcomed but also integral to the decision-making processes, and every coworker we have shared would sing her praises. Marie also deeply cares about the success of her team and has mentored myself and others directly and indirectly, leading by example as a true powerhouse leader.
Marie’s thorough, data-backed research informs her strategies, enabling her team to make decisions grounded in solid insights, and I learned so much about data collection and analysis by collaborating cross-functionally with Marie on multiple Product Support data projects. This meticulous approach, combined with her exceptional leadership skills, has significantly improved products and enhanced customer relationships.
Marie exemplifies the commitment to customer success and innovation that defines her work in every role she has held.

I had the opportunity to work closely with Marie during our time at imaware. She is an incredibly hard-working, motivated, and innovative product leader with a talent for product documentation that effectively aligns cross-functional areas of the business to the strategic vision for the product. She demonstrated her agility in her ability to manage products and projects during any stage of the product lifecycle and exceeded roadmap expectations by leading development teams in surpassing most OKR deliverables for each product. Marie continues to be a wonderful mentor and I believe she will be a key asset for any company she has an opportunity to work with.

Why We Started Hyperfocus AI
We kept seeing the same pattern: brilliant founders with great ideas whose stories were getting ahead of their execution.
Through our combined experience in product leadership and startup engineering, we recognized that many founders struggle with the gap between what they want to build and what they actually have.
Some founders needed strategic clarity to turn vision into actionable roadmaps. Others needed technical confidence to understand what they’d actually built and whether it could scale. Most needed both.
So we combined Marie’s strategic product leadership with Henry’s technical translation expertise. We exist to help visionary founders bridge the gap between vision and reality because we’re doing it ourselves every day.
