I’ve been in startups for over a decade — across sales, marketing, growth, and operations. I’ve worn most hats, sometimes all at once.
Over the years, I’ve been everything from an individual contributor to a Head of Growth, Director, and Founder. Most often, founders bring me on as their first commercial hire — full-time or fractional — to help get traction, build a function from scratch, and scale up.
I know what it’s like to be a team of one. I’ve built the systems, run the experiments, talked to the customers, and eventually, built out the team.
And I won’t sugarcoat it: building a company is hard. It’s rewarding, but also brutal — limited resources, shifting markets, daily fires. I’ve seen the wins and earned the battle scars.
Through all of it, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to get from pre-seed to Series A — and to set things up for long-term, sustainable growth.
I’ve helped startups go from $0 to $5M ARR and raise over $50M in funding (though you won’t see those numbers plastered everywhere — I value my clients’ trust more than public bragging rights).
These days, I spend my time helping early-stage founders navigate the messy, high-stakes, high-reward early days.
