Founder Story

Strategic partner to startups navigating product-market fit, team growth, and operational clarity

Hi, I'm Dustin. Founder of Parnell Strategy Inc. and a strategic partner to startups navigating product-market fit, team growth, and operational clarity.

Over the past 15+ years, I've worked across engineering, product, and leadership roles. From building MVPs and leading dev teams to guiding key decision makers through the complexity of early scale. I've been a consultant, contractor, technical lead, and co-founder. That range gives me the pattern recognition to plug in where momentum is blocked, whether that's your roadmap, architecture, or culture.

People I've worked with often say I'm approachable, grounded, and bring a contagious energy to the team. But where they say I bring the most value is at the solutioning table.

With a background in mechatronic systems engineering, product strategy, and business leadership, I see across disciplines and connect the dots quickly. Whether we're solving a technical bottleneck, a product gap, or a team misalignment, I bring creative, full-system thinking that unlocks progress fast.

I'm the person founders want in the room when the problems are messy and the stakes are high.

I launched Parnell Strategy Inc. to do exactly what I love: work closely with ambitious teams, help build high-trust systems, and guide startups into sustainable growth without burning out their founders or their teams.

Let's build something that works, scales, and feels right.
