Hire the Best Go-to-Market Strategy Professionals

I am not a consultant who advises from the outside. I am a builder who stays until the system runs. Most of the clients who find me have already hired someone to advise them. They got a framework, a deck, or a set of recommendations — and then the person left. The system didn’t run. The problem is still there, compounded by the time lost. What I build instead: revenue infrastructure that operates. Outbound engines. AI automation pipelines. Voice agents. Full-stack web applications. Discovery frameworks that turn a 30-minute call into a scoped engagement. Each system is architected across three layers simultaneously — the data layer, the logic layer, and the human execution layer — because that’s the only way it actually runs when I’m gone. What this looks like in practice: For a managed security channel operator moving upmarket, I deployed a fully automated GTM engine in six weeks: 7,000+ enriched records, 8,000+ sequenced leads, subdomain isolation, bidirectional CRM sync, and proprietary prompt chains battle-tested through 20+ iterations. The client’s four-person ops team couldn’t keep pace with what the system generated in week one. For an enterprise AI automation platform, I designed the entire GTM system from first principles — vertical intelligence infrastructure, a four-bucket prospect psychology model, a 100-point live qualification scorecard, seven target verticals with full playbook mapping, and a channel sales recruiting pipeline with 28 calibrated interview questions. One architect. One engagement. Concept to C-suite handoff. For a behavioral frameworks client, I built a three-axis business case routing system that maps prospect psychology to the correct value argument post-discovery — then wrapped it in an AI-powered executive communication persona system that automates the output from client intake to polished deliverable. For a full-stack build, I designed, built, and deployed a production React 18 / Node.js web application on self-managed Linux infrastructure — Nginx, PM2, Let’s Encrypt TLS, Git-based deployment — concept to live in a single working session. Current proof: The Opportunity Hunter — my own proposal intelligence system, live on Upwork: • 53% open rate • 33% interview rate • Built on the same diagnostic-first architecture I deploy for clients This is what the system produces when applied to a contained problem. The same logic scales to a full GTM build. What I work on: • Outbound GTM infrastructure (Apollo / HubSpot / signal-based sequencing) • AI automation pipelines and prompt engineering systems • ElevenLabs voice agent design and deployment — inbound and outbound • Full-stack web applications (React 18 / Node.js / Linux VPS / production deployment) • Sales methodology and discovery framework design • RevOps architecture — CRM build, workflow automation, operational overhaul • GTM strategy for AI platform launches and vertical market entry What I don’t do: I don’t do implementation-only work. I don’t do template delivery. I don’t advise and disengage. If you need someone to click buttons in HubSpot, I’m not the right fit and I’ll tell you that directly. If you need the architecture built and running — I am.

I help startups, SaaS companies, and global brands grow through product marketing, go-to-market strategy, content marketing, and hands-on campaign execution. With experience across Samsung Electronics, Bain & Company, and fast-growing startups, I combine strategic thinking with execution - helping companies not only define their positioning and marketing strategy, but also create and launch the content and campaigns that drive real business growth. Unlike traditional consultants or strategists, I’m highly hands-on. I can support everything from GTM planning and messaging to social media content, copywriting, campaign execution, email marketing, landing pages, and short/long-form video editing. 🚀 Areas I Can Help With • Product Marketing & Go-to-Market Strategy • Brand Positioning & Messaging • Content Marketing Strategy • Social Media Marketing (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok) • Copywriting & Campaign Messaging • Email Marketing & CRM Campaigns • Launch Campaign Execution • LinkedIn Content & Thought Leadership • Landing Page Optimisation • Short-Form Video Editing & Content Creation • Cross-Channel Campaign Management • Marketing Project Coordination 📈 Experience & Results At Samsung Electronics (London), I worked on product marketing and digital campaigns across European markets, helping drive significant increases in user adoption, engagement, and active users across Samsung’s digital ecosystem.

Most brands know what they want to say. Few know how to make people care. That gap between what a brand believes and what a market feels is where I work. Top 1% Expert-Vetted Consultant on Upwork. $135K+ earned on the platform. 20 years built at Ogilvy & Mather and OMD, the most awarded creative and media advertising agencies in the world. I've worked on Amazon Prime Video, Coty Prestige, Frito-Lay/Doritos, Grammarly, Hilton, Pepsi Beverages, Jimmy Dean, Maker's Mark, Taylor Morrison, Tyson (to name a few), and I approach every engagement like I own a piece of the outcome. Award-winning strategist. Effie judge. What separates me from most senior brand strategists: I was trained on both sides of the briefing table. Ogilvy gave me brand strategy, creative development, and the discipline of a big idea. OMD gave me media planning, connections strategy, and how a brand idea actually travels across channels and audiences. Brand-side P&L accountability at Suntory grounded both. Most freelancers have one of these. I have all three as well as independent consulting experience (B2B, B2C), which means the strategy I build already understands how it will be distributed, and the creative I develop already knows who it's serving. I also bring performance creative fluency, developing hooks, creative angles, and paid social briefs that convert without losing the brand in the process. Currently completing Motion's Creative Strategy certification to formalize this in the DTC context, though performance creative and media thinking have been part of my practice for 20 years. What I do for clients: → Integrated brand strategy & positioning. Brand POV, messaging architecture, competitive positioning, campaign platforms. For in-house teams, agencies, and founders who need senior strategic leadership. → Performance creative strategy. Research-driven hooks, creative angles, and paid social briefs that carry brand equity into paid media. Built for brands whose creative is underperforming, not because of the budget, but because the brief wasn't good enough. → Fractional IMC leadership. Senior counsel for brands navigating go-to-market complexity, launches, pivots, category entry, and AI adoption across these disciplines. I act like an owner, bill like a consultant, and show up like I'm on the org chart. If your brand has a positioning problem, a launch on the horizon, or creative that isn't converting in performance media or ROI that keeps slipping, send me a message with what you're working on. I'll respond within 24 hours to learn more.
