Speaker bio:
Wes Wheless helps solo consultants “bottle their secret sauce.” As founder of Develop My IP, he turns deep corporate expertise into magnetic positioning and visual IP that attracts dream clients.
Before going solo, Wes worked in the strategy and tech trenches — at BCG, Expedia, and most recently at Reforge — helping top tech executives transform their know-how into signature frameworks and premium learning experiences.
These days, he partners exclusively with solo professionals to sharpen their niche and make their thinking visible. Wes holds degrees from Wharton and Kellogg, and is the voice behind 💡 The Lightbulb, a daily email packed with frameworks for monetizing your corporate expertise as a solo consultant.
