I help DTC and Amazon brands doing $3M–$25M in revenue turn marketing spend into profit and build the financial infrastructure to scale without surprises. Recent result: Led the turnaround of a DTC health and wellness brand from -$2.5M EBIT to a cash-positive run rate, contributing to a 25% CAC reduction through marketing mix modeling and channel-level spend reallocation. Three-year embedded CFO engagement, still ongoing. What I do: 1. Growth & marketing finance. Channel-level unit economics, blended LTV/CAC ceilings, marketing mix modeling, Amazon vs DTC spend optimization, retention cohorts. I sit between you and your media buyers and make sure every dollar can be defended on the P&L. 2. Ecom-native FP&A. 13-week cash forecasting tied to inventory cycles and ad spend, scenario modeling for launches and peak season, KPI dashboards your team will actually look at, and clean monthly close. 3. Multi-brand and cross-border. Built a modular financial model spanning 10 brands for a dropshipping operator. Comfortable across SKU-level margins, multi-currency, and cross-border operations (US, EU, GCC). 4. Investor readiness when you need it. Board-ready materials, valuation analysis, deal structuring. I've sat on the fundraising side of 120+ early-stage companies through direct work and agency partnerships (TribeFirst due diligence, Bitcoin Startup Lab pitch coaching), so I know exactly what investors will dig into when they see your numbers. 5. AI-native by design. I build Claude-based agents for transaction categorization, anomaly flagging, and forecast updates. You get senior CFO judgment plus automation, not a junior modeler at a higher rate. Background: MBA from IESE Business School, engineering by training, finance operator by choice. I've run finance for brands selling on Amazon and own-channel DTC, so I understand the unit economics tradeoffs between the two and how to allocate spend between them. If your finance function isn't giving you a clear answer to "is this growth profitable and can we afford it," let's talk. Happy to do a 30-minute call to look at your numbers and tell you where I'd start.
