About

On a mission to help inception-series B technical founders build systematic, predictable marketing engines 🚀. I’ve been CMO, VPM, and advisor for nearly 50 software companies, have scaled new category creators from $1M - $70M ARR, and built teams from 1-20. I know what excellence looks like and I simplify it for you, so building and operating a highly functioning marketing organization is not a black box. I specialize in positioning, messaging, GTM market strategy, demand generation, growth, SDR optimization, team building, and quality execution. I have deep domain experience and a strong network in infrastructure, open source, and developer tool software.
