About

I work with founders and leadership teams who want marketing to actually drive revenue, not just likes and leads. As a Fractional GTM Leader, I help US startups and growth-stage companies put the right growth systems in place: the plays, channels, messaging, and sales funnel. The result? Targets get hit, customers grow, and revenue goes up. All without the cost of a full-time hire.

I’m currently open to new collaborations and have availability to support founders and teams looking to scale demand generation, optimize CAC, or unlock new growth channels.

With 10+ years in Demand Generation and Growth, I’ve scaled multiple startups, including helping a US tech unicorn reach $400M ARR and delivering $25M+ pipeline in FY25 through multi-channel campaigns, CRO, ABM, and lead-to-opportunity acceleration.

I thrive at the intersection of strategy + execution: designing GTM plays, scaling Paid Media, aligning marketing with sales, and building systems that scale pipeline and revenue predictably.
