Who's behind Mental Desk?
Mental Desk is owned and opearted by James Crosswell and has no other employees. My core competencies are product management, software engineering and building/managing teams. So I can fill gaps in any of those spaces to complement an existing team. I'm a generalist who can lead product inception, strategy, design, creation and early marketing... well enough to bootstrap an idea, test and refine it until you know you're onto a winner. I don't carry the overhead of hiring and managing a team of specialists. So I can move at pace and leverage AI to fill the gaps. I have also hired, formed and managed 20+ cross functional teams over the last decade, including senior managers. So once the initial idea has been validated, I can help you build a rockstar team and an enduring business around it.
