About

I’m a product-led growth guy who’s seen both sides of the SaaS coin - tried building my own thing, joined rocketships, made more mistakes than I care to admit, but learned faster than most. I’ve helped scale AI & SaaS products from zero to thousands of paying users. Along the way, I got addicted to asking uncomfortable questions and running experiments nobody else wanted to own. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it bombed. The only thing that stayed constant: my belief that ideas, not titles or egos, are what move the needle. People who’ve worked with me say I’m annoyingly persistent about finding “the why” behind user behavior and rarely accept “that’s how we’ve always done it” as an answer. Sometimes I work with founders and teams as a growth advisor, but only if there’s something genuinely interesting (or broken) to fix. Outside work, I read widely (tech, psychology, history, sometimes bad sci-fi), run, and spend most of my best energy with family and a few close friends. If you want to challenge my assumptions or share a contrarian take, my DMs are open.
