🚀 I help pre-seed to Series A B2B SaaS and AI founders build a go-to-market that turns the product into a system that finds and signs customers on its own.
🧩 Most founders don't have a product problem. They have a go-to-market that lives in their head — untested, undocumented, and impossible to hand off. As a result, every dollar spent on outreach, ads, or a new hire leaks. I fix this by building the full system in the right order: clear strategy and positioning first, then a working demand engine, product-led growth mechanics that improve conversion, scaling the channels that actually perform, and finally packaging the traction into investor-ready proof.
🏆 I'm a certified T2D3 B2B SaaS marketing leader. Across 20+ SaaS startups I've helped 3x and 10x revenue, generated over $10M, and supported $45M+ in funds raised, with a 100% client satisfaction rate across 120+ five-star reviews.
✅ This works for you if you're building a B2B SaaS or AI product, your MVP is ready for early adopters, your model runs on recurring revenue, and you need a defined strategy and action plan your whole team can run.
📐 Sprint 1: The Strategic Core
Before any outreach goes out, I build the foundation everything else inherits: ideal customer profile and B2B buyer personas, competitor and market analysis, go-to-market positioning and your competitive vector, value proposition and messaging framework, customer journey funnel, pricing strategy and tier structure, and your content funnel with marketing-asset specs. You walk away with your entire go-to-market documented and execution-ready instead of living in your head.
📢 Sprint 2: Done-for-You Demand Generation
Where strategy becomes live pipeline. I build and run the full outbound engine: a 1,000-account ICP-match target list with enriched decision-maker contacts, cold email and LinkedIn outreach, an ICP-specific landing page, and the first campaigns launched against clear KPIs. Lead generation that books meetings, not just sends emails.
🔄 Sprint 3: Product-Led Growth
Making the product your primary acquisition channel. Self-serve onboarding engineered for fast time to value, in-product activation (tours, progress bars, onboarding flows, empty states), a lifecycle layer across in-app messages and email, and a case-study and testimonial production system that lifts conversion everywhere it's placed. PLG that compounds without added headcount.
🤖 Sprint 4: AI Workflow & Multi-Channel Scale
Multiplying what's already working. Agentic AI workflows that run research, enrichment, and personalization at volume, new channel expansion across paid, inbound triggers, and anonymous website visitor de-anonymization, and a partner and implementer engine that turns other companies' client relationships into your distribution.
💰 Sprint 5: Go-to-Capital
Turning the traction you've built into a raise. Investor-ready pitch deck, financial modeling and ARR/MRR forecasting, a stage-matched investor database, investor outreach assets and messaging, and pitch prep covering objections, ask-structure, and negotiation. I run the raise the same way I run demand gen: as a targeted funnel, not scattered warm intros.
🧭 Executive GTM Engagement
I also offer an Executive GTM engagement that includes everything above plus an executive marketing playbook (a step-by-step roadmap to run operations without a full-time CMO), OKRs to track marketing performance against the plan, and revenue modelling and forecasting so you're never guessing what it takes to hit your number.
🔗 How I work
I start from your real economics and your actual buyer, document everything so it's transferable to your team or any agency you hire, and tie every asset back to one coherent strategy so nothing is wasted.

The calendar's full, the blog exists, the ads are running…and nothing converts. That's the gap I close.
I'm a creative strategist with 15 years across B2B, SaaS, fintech, agtech, water tech, AI, travel, and sustainability. I don't just write. I build the strategy and the infrastructure underneath it: positioning, messaging, content pillars, editorial direction, and the pipelines that make it all actually move.
What sets me apart: I've sat with CEOs during the raise and at the messy whiteboard before the strategy existed. Most content people are strong at execution. Most strategists are strong at decks. I do both.
Across those industries, I've:
- Diagnosed why a full content calendar wasn't converting…and rebuilt the through-line connecting messaging, website, and sales, not just the top of the funnel
- Repositioned companies whose messaging still sounded like their seed-round pitch, so their story finally matched what they'd actually become
- Turned founder-led visibility into company-owned pipeline, organically growing social from a handful of contacts to thousands of engaged followers and establishing C-suite teams as genuine thought leaders
- Built the infrastructure that makes strategy survive contact with a real content calendar: pillars, templates, SOPs, and CRM-backed outreach
- Set creative direction for paid ad campaigns: the brief, the hook, the concept behind the video sales letters and static ads, not just the assets themselves
I work best with founders and marketing leads who've outgrown founder-led storytelling but whose messaging still sounds like a seed-round pitch. If your content reads like the company you were two years ago, that's what I fix.
Creative strategy that hasn't been pressure-tested against real execution isn't strategy. It's just a deck. I do the deep research needed to truly understand the brand, write the copy, build the campaign strategy, and watch the numbers move.
