About Ebony

I help health, impact, and mission-driven organizations make confident product and strategy decisions when the problem is complex, the users are hard to reach, and the cost of getting it wrong is high.

I work as a product and strategy consultant at the intersection of product discovery, user and patient research, and stakeholder alignment. Clients bring me in when they need clarity on what to build, who to build for, and how to translate insight into action—especially in regulated or multi-stakeholder environments.

With 15+ years of experience across digital health, biopharma, NGOs, and public-interest programs in Europe and the US, I bring a rare combination of system-level understanding and hands-on discovery work. I translate qualitative and quantitative insights, lived experience, and organizational constraints into clear product direction, prioritization, and engagement models that teams can actually execute.

What differentiates my work is the ability to align diverse stakeholders—patients, clinicians, internal teams, and partners—around shared goals and evidence-based decisions. I design engagement and insight systems that scale beyond a single workshop or report, supporting sustainable product and program development.

Alongside my consulting work, I am the founder of FoodStorii, an early-stage digital product focused on reducing household food waste. This keeps me closely connected to real-world product discovery, user testing, and early decision-making, and directly informs how I support clients navigating similar early-stage or transition phases.

Typical projects and deliverables include:
- Product discovery and problem-definition sprints
- User and patient research (qualitative, mixed-methods)
- Insight synthesis and strategic recommendations
- Stakeholder and advisory framework design
- Early product and engagement strategy in regulated contexts
