Most cold email campaigns don’t generate meetings because they have poor copy, positioning, or targeting.
I help B2B companies build outbound systems that consistently generate qualified conversations instead of relying on guesswork.
My work combines strategy, positioning, campaign management, and copywriting to improve reply quality and booked meetings, not just open rates.
Over the past four years I’ve worked across both agency and SaaS environments:
• Built and managed outbound campaigns across multiple industries
• Helped scale a B2B/B2G SaaS startup from early customers to more than $1M ARR (and averaged a 25% booked demo rate)
• Managed sales, client success, implementations, and go-to-market strategy
• Written and optimized hundreds of cold email campaigns
I can help with:
* Cold email strategy
* Offer development
* Positioning
* ICP refinement
* Email copywriting
* Smartlead / Instantly / Apollo
* Deliverability
* Campaign optimization
* Reply management
* Outbound audits
If you’re looking for someone who only writes emails, I’m probably not the best fit.
If you’re looking for someone who understands the entire outbound system and can help improve pipeline generation, I’d be happy to talk.

Your company already has proven products, customers, employees, agencies, and active sales channels but growth is becoming harder, execution is fragmented, and too many commercial decisions still depend on you.
The problem is rarely missing another specialist.
The problem is that no single senior operator owns the DTC business across acquisition, retention, ecommerce, digital experience, teams, technology, and profitability.I become that owner.
I bring 12+ years of experience building, scaling, launching, and improving DTC, ecommerce, CPG, and consumer businesses.
As your Fractional Head of Growth and Ecommerce, I work directly with the founder or CEO to translate company goals into practical quarterly plans, align teams and partners, and lead execution across the complete commercial system.
I assess the business, identify the highest-impact growth constraints, build the roadmap, set priorities, coordinate internal teams and external vendors, manage launches, monitor KPIs, and proactively remove bottlenecks.
The result is one clear commercial direction, faster execution, stronger accountability, better financial decisions, and fewer issues returning to the founder.
WHAT YOU GET
• One accountable owner across growth and ecommerce
• Clear quarterly priorities, owners, timelines, and KPIs
• Acquisition, retention, ecommerce, and brand working together
• Teams and vendors aligned around shared commercial outcomes
• Faster launches and fewer execution bottlenecks
• Decisions tied to revenue, margin, CAC, LTV, and profitability
• Less founder dependence and stronger operating control
WHAT I TAKE OWNERSHIP OF:
STRATEGY, PLANNING, AND COMMERCIAL PERFORMANCE
I assess your market, customers, competitors, positioning, offers, pricing, channels, economics, team, and current growth activity.
I identify what is preventing faster, more profitable growth and translate the findings into a practical roadmap with clear priorities, owners, timelines, and success metrics.
This may include positioning, messaging, customer acquisition, offers, pricing, go-to-market strategy, product launches, channel expansion, customer journeys, hiring priorities, and resource allocation.
DTC ACQUISITION, RETENTION, AND ECOMMERCE
I oversee how Shopify, Amazon, Klaviyo, paid acquisition, conversion, retention, subscriptions, analytics, inventory, and profitability work together.
This may include product pages, landing pages, cart and checkout, CRO, bundles, upsells, lifecycle marketing, subscriptions, customer feedback, CAC, ROAS, AOV, LTV, contribution margins, SKU profitability, channel profitability, and reporting.
The goal is not simply more traffic or revenue.
The goal is improving what each customer, order, product, and channel contributes to the business.
TEAM AND VENDOR LEADERSHIP
Most established brands already have capable people.
The problem is that nobody owns how their work connects.
I coordinate leadership, employees, agencies, developers, media buyers, creative teams, ecommerce specialists, operations, and external partners around one commercial plan.
I make sure responsibilities are clear, launches remain on schedule, vendors remain accountable, KPIs guide decisions, and problems are solved before reaching the founder.
ECOMMERCE SYSTEMS, DATA, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
I help ensure your ecommerce technology, reporting, and operating processes support better decisions and scalable execution.
This may include Shopify, Klaviyo, subscriptions, analytics, customer experience tools, dashboards, workflows, SOPs, weekly operating rhythms, hiring plans, delegation, and vendor accountability.
AI AND AUTOMATION
I apply AI where it creates measurable business value.
This may include customer research, review mining, creative workflows, reporting, customer support, internal knowledge systems, ecommerce operations, retention, and decision support.
I identify the opportunity, design the workflow, coordinate implementation, add human approvals and quality controls, and document the system for your team.
HOW I WORK
Assess → Prioritize → Plan → Coordinate → Execute → Measure → Improve
I do not provide recommendations and disappear.
I stay involved through implementation, performance measurement, process documentation, SOP creation, and team handoff.
BEST FIT
I work best with founder-led consumer brands that:
• Generate approximately $2M+annually
• Operate through Shopify, Amazon, retail, or multiple channels
• Have proven products and active customer demand
• Already use employees, agencies, or specialist partners
• Need clearer priorities and stronger cross-functional leadership
• Lack an experienced Head of Growth, DTC leader, or CMO
• Need senior ownership without another full-time executive
The strongest fit is a company with capable people doing the work but no senior leader owning the complete DTC and ecommerce result.
