Forward Deployed Storytelling is a collaboration between Jamie McNeill and Ira Ko.

Jamie spent a decade in Hollywood working on feature films like Dune Part 2 and Godzilla.

While Jamie was in LA, Ira was in SF, building (and rebuilding) GTM with the CEOs at Pave, Portable, and Speakeasy.

In the noisy age of AI, we pair Hollywood storytelling with B2B expertise for pipeline leaders who value craft, speed, and founder-like thinking.

The team now maintains a long distance relationship in NYC, with Jamie on the UWS and Ira in Brooklyn.
