About

A cubicle-dweller-turned-startup operator with growth, analytics, product, marketing, customer success, operations, data engineering, AI and overall strategy experience. I created Zayer to solve a problem I encountered building AI agents at Crossbeam. I joined Crossbeam as the first marketing hire, and owned many functions including data/analytics, AI ops and growth. Prior to that I led growth at Perpay, helping it become the 5th fastest growing company in the country. Before that, I started another company, GuestOf - that was a learning experience.
