How I can help you 🫵

✅ Strategy

I create and maintain a clear and defined growth strategy. I analyze the entire funnel and prioritize activities that offer the highest return on investment.

📝 Positioning & Messaging

I work with you to clearly articulate who you are and the value you offer to a specific group of people. Together, we will develop messaging that helps you connect with customers, investors, potential employees, and the press.

🤝 Org Chart & Hiring

I help you identify organizational needs, define roles and responsibilities, develop hiring assignments, and interview candidates.

💻 Executional Work

After setting the strategy and crafting the positioning and messaging, it is time to execute. I will either take a hands-on approach myself or build out the necessary team with full-time and/or freelancers.

📊 Marketing Operations

I’ll set your team up for success by ensuring there is a link between strategy and how your team drives outcomes. This involves tech stack selection, data management, reporting, automation, internal meeting cadence, and more.

What people say about me

My Story 📖

I've been working in the startup world for over ten years. I've worn many hats, including sales, marketing, growth, operations, and even founder.Along the way, I've experienced being an individual contributor, a Lead, a Head, and a Director.Usually, I've been directly hired by founders as the first commercially focused person in the company, either full-time or as a consultant. So, I know what it's like to start from scratch, be a team of one, and progress to building high-performing teams.I won't sugarcoat it. While building a company can be one of the most rewarding things, it can also be brutal. You have limited resources and an ever-changing market and competitive landscape. You will face daily obstacles. While I've had many successes, I also have many battle scars from the journey.Throughout the years, I've developed a deep understanding of what is required to take a company from Seed to Series A and set it up for long-term, sustainable success.I've helped companies go from $0 to $3M in ARR and raise a combined total of over $50M in funding.Now, I spend my time taking all my learnings and helping early-stage founders navigate the obstacle-filled road ahead of them.If you're an early-stage founder looking for some guidance, let's have a chat!
