I help entrepreneurs fast-track their success with real-world strategies that work. I’m a 3x founder, former Fortune 100 strategist, and an award-winning entrepreneur whose business has been featured on the cover of Entrepreneur's Startups magazine, ranked top 20% in the Inc. 5000, and recognized for the Best Marketing Campaign of 2020 – all achieved with minimal marketing budget and instead a meticulously crafted strategy. I've personally raised eight figures in investment capital and generated multiples of that in revenue. My expertise in marketing and fundraising has been profiled in Forbes, and I’ve been featured in and written for Entrepreneur. There are plenty of advisors out there – but very few have actually done what you're trying to do. I have. And now, I help other entrepreneurs because it feels good. How I can help you: - Go-to-Market Strategy – Position your product for growth, adoption, and profitability - Product-Market Fit – Find, engage, and retain your ideal customers - Brand Strategy & Positioning – Differentiate and win in a crowded market - Fundraising & Pitch Decks – Get the attention (and dollars) of investors - Crowdfunding Campaigns – Plan and execute high-converting campaigns - Sales Pitch Strategy – Gain the trust and support of key accounts and decision-makers - Leadership & Execution – Build, manage, and scale high-performing teams rooted in the mission My approach blends corporate strategy expertise (5 years working under McKinsey partners) with real-world startup execution (10+ years of scaling my own business and coaching others). I also know how to take what I've learned and impart it onto others; I’ve taught entrepreneurship at CU Boulder’s Deming Center, a nationally recognized hub for the next generation of business builders, and I co-founded a private members-only network for high-growth CPG leaders. Why work with me? ✔ 10+ years in entrepreneurship – From bootstrapping to raising capital ✔ Inc. 5000 CEO – Built and scaled a national CPG brand ✔ Award-Winning Marketer – Drove millions in revenue with creative, cost-effective campaigns ✔ University Professor – Taught real-world entrepreneurship at a top-ranked business school ✔ Corporate Strategy Expertise – McKinsey-trained at a Fortune 100 company I don’t believe in vague, generic advice. I offer clear, actionable strategies that move the needle. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll refer you to someone in my network who is. Industries I’ve worked in: - Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) - E-Commerce & DTC - Financial Services & Insurance - Automotive - Education - Veteran Non-Profits Let’s talk, first call is free. I offer a complimentary initial consultation to ensure we’re a great fit. I also charge fixed-fee pricing so there are no surprises. Plus, I’m offering 70% off my standard rate for a limited time, as I haven't been on Upwork since launching my business over 10 years ago! If you want real-world strategies from someone who’s actually built and scaled a business, message me now, and let’s get started.
