About

AI made it easier than ever to build. It also made it harder than ever to matter. I’m building Gallium: a Marketing OS that helps companies own their narrative in a world where AI commoditizes building, but not belief. When shipping software is close to free and every feed is flooded with “AI slop,” generational companies will be the ones that can consistently craft and distribute a story that earns trust. That makes people care. At Gallium, we’re building the infrastructure to do that at scale: a system that captures a founder's voice, company's positioning, customer pain points, and market story, then turns it into content that actually matters. We work closely with founders and marketing teams to shape their stories into founder-led content turning LinkedIn into a real go-to-market channel. For founders exploring LinkedIn for distribution, always happy to chat!
