I'm a SaaS Fractional CMO with 20+ years of experience driving growth for B2B technology companies. I specialize in AI marketing automation and full-funnel digital marketing - from GTM strategy through execution - helping SaaS and AI companies scale faster without adding headcount. My biggest career win was taking an AI automation enterprise SaaS from seed funding through a $41M Series B - where I personally drove 90%+ of pipeline through digital strategy and hands-on execution. I've built my own AI automation platform with agent workflows and design systems that compress delivery timelines, test rapidly, and let me execute with speed at scale. I raise the ceiling on what a single strategist can deliver and operate as an entire marketing team independently. My services span the full marketing function: - Multi-channel campaign builds and optimization: Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Facebook Ads, X Ads, Reddit Ads, AdRoll, display & retargeting - ABM strategy and execution - Messaging, positioning, and ad & landing page copy - Keyword research and persona targeting - Market research & competitive analysis - Funnel creation, segmentation, and conversion rate optimization (A/B testing) - Sales and marketing collateral: white papers, case studies, datasheets - HubSpot email automation, workflows, and performance dashboards - Spend, KPI, and pipeline reporting with automated dashboards (Looker, Supermetrics) Notable Clients: - Glean AI - NinjaTech AI - Data AI - KinectAir - Saviynt - Softbank Robotics - SigmaComputing - Dataknox - Navis CRM - Parsable - Versapay + many others What can I do for you? 🔄 Build your GTM and marketing strategy: I craft and implement go-to-market and digital marketing strategies that drive growth through deep understanding of target personas, product-market fit, and compelling messaging, content, offers, and creatives — built on years of rigorous testing and optimization. - Run your campaigns: I've managed hands-on millions of dollars in paid search, paid social, and retargeting ad spend - producing funnels that drive qualified leads, opportunities, and ARR. - Generate sales and marketing collateral: I've developed a strong proficiency in brand messaging and positioning, landing pages, sales decks, and marketing collateral that complement and amplify digital marketing campaigns. - Guide long-term strategy: My blend of executive experience and hands-on technical depth across all paid media channels has helped companies from early-stage startups to Fortune 500s navigate significant growth milestones and complex marketing challenges.

I help DTC and ecommerce brands convert more of the traffic they already have and turn first-time buyers into repeat customers. CRO, Klaviyo email marketing, and growth strategy are my core, and I approach all three as an operator who has owned a P&L, not just run one channel. I co-founded an ecommerce apparel brand, scaled it from 0 to 30,000 customers and $1.2M in annual revenue, and sold it. Along the way I owned conversion rate optimization, the full Klaviyo lifecycle, paid acquisition across Meta, Google, and TikTok ($660K+ in ad spend driven to positive ROI), Yotpo loyalty and referrals, and the Shopify Plus storefront itself. That retention work produced a 40% repeat-purchase rate and 4.8/5 reviews. Because I've sat in the founder's seat, I think about your revenue and margin first, tactics second. Today I consult for DTC and B2B brands on that same playbook. WHERE I CAN HELP Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) • Funnel audits from ad click to checkout to find exactly where you leak revenue • Landing page, product page, and cart/checkout optimization • A/B testing and analytics-based decisions (Google Analytics, GA4, GTM) • UX and website UI improvements that lift conversion, not just looks Klaviyo, Email & SMS • Full lifecycle flows: welcome, abandoned cart and browse, post-purchase, winback, replenishment • Campaign strategy, segmentation, and list growth • Deliverability, A/B testing, and revenue attribution • Klaviyo + Shopify + Yotpo integrations Growth Marketing • Multi-channel acquisition and attribution (Meta, paid search/SEM, TikTok, SEO, affiliate) • Referral and loyalty programs • Retention and LTV expansion • Marketing automation and AI-driven workflows Marketing Strategy • Go-to-market and channel strategy • Budgeting, forecasting, and analytics • Product, pricing, and positioning • Roadmaps a lean team can actually execute Technical (so the strategy ships, not just slides) • Shopify Liquid development • HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and fully deployed web apps • Marketing and tracking stack setup: Klaviyo, GA4, GTM, Segment, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive • AI implementation across your marketing and operations Tools I work in: Shopify Plus, Klaviyo, Yotpo, Google Analytics / GA4, Google Tag Manager, Meta & Google Ads, HubSpot, Salesforce, Segment, and more. Most of my clients are founders and lean teams who want one partner who can both set the strategy and build it. If that's you, send me a note about what you're working on and what winning looks like. I'll tell you honestly where I can move the needle.

Graduated from the University of California, Berkeley. Studied economics & history. Worked with top YouTube channels: The Armchair Historian & Economics Explained. I'm your guy for script-writing, research, operations, and project management. Ideal next gig is working with another "edutainment" YouTube channel. Some professional experience in point-of-sale systems, payments, ecommerce, and retail technology.

Turning traffic into predictable revenue should not feel chaotic or guess-based. I work with growth-stage brands, course creators, and service-based businesses to build clear, scalable marketing systems that convert, retain, and compound. My role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution, bringing CMO-level thinking with hands-on implementation. I specialize in paid acquisition, funnel architecture, email marketing, and conversion optimization. This means I do not just “run ads” or “build funnels”, I design the full revenue ecosystem behind them so every channel works together. I have personally built and scaled digital products, led six-figure launches, and helped creators and companies move from scattered marketing efforts into structured, repeatable growth systems. What makes my work different is clarity. I tell you what matters, what does not, and what to prioritize first so growth feels intentional instead of reactive. Recent wins include Helping a tech client generate $100K in 30 days through a new paid funnel Scaling a course creator from early traction to 3,000+ students taught Increasing email-attributed revenue by 42 percent in under 60 days Rebuilding a SaaS lead generation funnel that converted 7x higher than the previous setup What I bring to the table Growth strategy and CMO-level oversight Paid ads across Meta, TikTok, Google, and YouTube High-converting funnels and landing pages Email and lifecycle marketing Launch strategy and offer positioning Clear KPIs, reporting, and decision-making If you are looking for someone who can both think strategically and execute cleanly, without hand-holding, we will work well together.
