    I help early-stage startups turn demos into revenue. As a former GTM and monetization lead at Amazon, Bill.com, and Wayfair—and now a Venture Partner investing in AI and fintech—I bring a hybrid operator-investor perspective to growth. If you're launching a new product, refining pricing, or struggling with trial-to-paid conversion, I can help you build a focused, scalable GTM plan and execute on it with your team. Core areas I support: 1. GTM strategy, funnel design, and customer acquisition 2. Pricing and monetization models (including self-serve and annual plans) 3. PLG and onboarding optimization 4. Retention, upsells, and revenue expansion I’ve helped startups unlock $4–12M in ARR within a quarter by identifying key growth levers, improving monetization, and driving adoption. My approach blends strategy and execution. Let’s connect if you’re ready to scale efficiently without hiring a full-time Head of Growth.
