About

I've spent 16 years in B2B SaaS doing work that sits at the intersection of how a product is understood and how a market moves. Positioning, narrative, growth architecture, demand, and the GTM systems that connect them into revenue. Most of that time has been in competitive markets where the product was genuinely good but not yet known for the right things. That's the work I'm drawn to: figuring out what a company should mean to its best buyers, and then building the systems that make that meaning compound, in search, in sales conversations, in review platforms, in how LLMs describe you to the next generation of buyers. The through-line across every role has been revenue. At Swym, I owned the full GTM from positioning to pipeline to partner ecosystem across four markets. Revenue doubled in 24 months. CAC dropped by half without increasing spend. Sales cycles went from 120 to 45 days. At Adapt, I built inbound into the primary acquisition channel in a market dominated by ZoomInfo and Apollo. Marketing influenced 90% of revenue. Win rates moved from 5% to 40%. I work AI-first, and mean that practically. I've built AI-powered demo workflows, vibe-coded marketing tools, assembled GTM engineering stacks using the current AI toolset, and run LLM visibility research to understand how language models describe products to buyers before those buyers ever visit a website. Before the Director roles, I co-founded and exited an AdTech startup. That experience shapes how I think about sequencing, resource constraints, and what it actually costs to make a market believe something new. The teams I've built have been deliberately lean and consistently punched above their weight. At Swym, a team of eight owned a market across five geographies. I hire for curiosity and range, build for ownership, and try to make the work genuinely interesting for the people doing it. Open to senior roles, Director or VP, in product marketing, growth, or full-funnel ownership at B2B SaaS companies scaling fast and looking to own their market.

  • Brand guidelines exist. Brand consistency doesn't always follow.
  • Agencies manage multiple brands, rotating teams, and daily deadlines. Something slips. It always does.
  • I'm building something to change that. Still learning. If you work in this space, I'd genuinely like to hear how you handle it.

Fractional Marketing Leader — Growth, Product Marketing & GTM Strategy

Jan 2026May 2026 · 4 mos · Remote

  • Since August 2025, I've been working with B2B SaaS companies on a fractional basis across GTM strategy, product marketing, and growth. The engagements have varied, but the underlying problem is usually the same: a product that's genuinely good, a market that doesn't fully understand it yet, and a team that needs someone who's done this before to help close that gap quickly.
  • The work spans positioning and narrative development, competitive strategy, LLM visibility auditing, GTM engineering using the current AI stack, and growth architecture across inbound, PLG, and partner channels.
  • I work with founding teams and marketing leaders who need senior thinking without the overhead of a full-time hire, or who are navigating a specific inflection point and want someone who can move fast and be hands-on.
  • Open to new engagements.

Swym

Marketing Director

Jan 2023Aug 2025 · 2 yrs 7 mos · Remote

  • Swym builds customer intent infrastructure for Shopify and Shopify Plus brands. The company was at an inflection point, ready to move beyond its original use case into a broader platform play for enterprise merchants.
  • I owned GTM across that transition. Repositioned the product, rebuilt the sales narrative, and stood up the growth engine across PLG, enterprise pipeline, and a partner ecosystem spanning five geographies.
  • Revenue doubled in 24 months. CAC halved. Sales cycles went from 120 to 45 days. Win rates from 17% to 67%. The agency ecosystem grew from 100 to 250 partners. A lean team of eight ran all of it across the US, UK, EU, AU, and JP.
  • The work I found most interesting was the vertical GTM motion across Apparel, Jewelry, and Home Decor. Getting the positioning specific enough that an enterprise merchant in one of those categories felt like the product was built for them. That specificity was what compressed the sales cycle more than anything else.

Jun 2020Nov 2022 · 2 yrs 5 mos · Tamil Nadu, India

  • Adapt is a contact and account intelligence platform. The market was crowded and dominated
  • by ZoomInfo and Apollo. Most of the work was competitive displacement.
  • I built the inbound engine from near zero. Programmatic SEO scaled from 700K to 7M indexed pages. Weekly traffic grew 6X. The funnel ran at 200 form fills and 100 meetings a week, supporting $2M in qualified pipeline per quarter. Marketing influenced around 90% of total revenue.
  • On the enterprise side, win rates moved from 5% to 40% through sharper ICP positioning, competitive battlecards, and ABM campaigns timed to ZoomInfo renewal windows. Rippling, Slack, Microsoft, and Wayfarer came through that motion.
  • Also launched the self-serve product. $5K MRR in three months. G2 Momentum Leader, number one in Market Account Intelligence.
