About

I’ve spent my career turning strategy into something teams can actually execute. I’ve run GTM planning, rolled out company-wide OKRs, led executive offsites, and managed $30M+ global marketing budgets. My sweet spot is finding the narrative and building systems around it that speed up decisions, sharpen ROI, and give leaders real leverage. I've helped fintechs and SaaS companies scale from Series B to E by fixing positioning, simplifying the story for highly technical products, honing product fit and building growth engines that actually work in the real world. My expertise spans product-led growth, developer relations, enterprise and SMB sales, rebranding, comms, fixing demand, over-hauling messaging, and more. My mix of planning, executive leadership, go-to-market strategy makes me a unique partner for any CEO at the inflection point where they are ready to deploy marketing as the enterprise-wide growth engine.
