They're decision problems.

I study how people decide.
Then build the strategy around it.

Known to build demand generation engines with a $0 budget, my background spans consumer psychology, behavioral economics, and marketing strategy as a decision system.

Secured multi-million dollar partnerships between startups and enterprise clients.
Achieved a 2 year growth goal in 3 months.
Doubled revenue via market research, and consumer insights.
My background in behavioral psychology enables me to notice patterns traditional marketers miss, and to translate those patterns into actionable strategy.

I write at uboweja.substack.com and am developing a podcast — Why It Works — applying decision science to business case studies.
