Helping North American startups close the 82% "AI Value Gap." I don't just manage tickets; I audit the "Verification Tax" and re-architect AI operations to ensure they deliver measurable Net Liquid ROI. Most teams arenโ€™t slowโ€”their overhead is. I am a Senior Product & Delivery Lead with 9+ years in PM/Product roles and 20+ years in Business Operations. I bridge the gap between high-level vision and technical execution, focusing ruthlessly on prioritizing value and removing friction. Recent Hands-on Innovation: To stay at the cutting edge, I build. I recently developed a functional AI Readiness Assessment MVP from scratch (Next.js + Gemini API + Supabase) to prove that complex product hypotheses can be validated in hours, not weeks. I bring this "bias toward shipping" to every team I lead. What I bring to your project: Operational Audit & ROI: I identify the "Verification Tax"โ€”the hidden 40% of productivity lost to manual rework of AI outputsโ€”and implement governance layers to reclaim that margin. Product Ownership Mindset: I map the productโ€™s current state and identify high-impact roadmap items using RICE/MoSCoW frameworks, ensuring every feature serves the P&L. Execution Discipline: I lead structured delivery across distributed teams (5โ€“25 FTE) in EST and CET, ensuring zero ambiguity in decision-making. Revenue Operations: I identify leakage in onboarding flows and CRM pipelines. One such intervention saved a prior client $320,000 in annual revenue. Core Competencies โ€ข AI Product Strategy & Roadmap Ownership โ€ข Operational Architecture (Closing the Value Gap) โ€ข Agile Delivery (Scrum, Kanban) โ€ข Rapid AI Prototyping & MVP Validation (Next.js/Python) โ€ข Revenue Operations (Salesforce/HubSpot Optimization) โ€ข Stakeholder & Executive Communication (Board-ready reporting) Selected Achievements โ€ข Revenue Recovery: Saved $320,000/year by leading a 10-day recovery of a failed SaaS product migration. โ€ข Product Delivery: Led the execution of a 3D VR learning environment (5.0 client rating). โ€ข SaaS Transformation: Coordinated the Agile migration of a 7-application ecosystem without service disruption. โ€ข Innovation: Top-10 Global Innovation Finalist among 1,000+ participants. Tools & Tech Stack Management: Jira, ClickUp, Asana, Notion, Confluence, Miro, Figma. Hands-on Tech: Next.js, Gemini API, Supabase, SQL, Python. RevOps: Salesforce, HubSpot. Why Clients Work With Me โœ” Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | 6,000+ hours delivered. โœ” Product-First Approach: I prioritize ROI and user value over administrative ceremony. โœ” Technical Fluency: I understand the full stack, helping me spot bottlenecks before they stall the project. โœ” Canada Legally Work-Authorized: (Open Work Permit) | Comfortable with North American & European time zones. If you need a partner who brings strategic clarity and a "get it done" mindset to your SaaS or AI productโ€”letโ€™s talk.

I co-founded a deep-tech company as CEO and helped engineer its acquisition by Snap Inc. I now work with founders who are already building but stuck in misalignment they cannot see from inside the business. Before anything else, three things are worth clarifying because trust is the product in this line of work. First, my Upwork history looks different from my title. It spans hands-on sales execution: cold outreach, telesales, lead generation, and sales management. That was deliberate. I advise on revenue because I have done every seat in it, and I still take on select strategic sales and revenue leadership engagements where the fit is right. The execution years are not a past I am distancing myself from. They are the reason the advice holds up. Second, my profile was inactive from February 2023 until April 2026. I was based in Asia, focused on post-transaction matters following the Snap acquisition, advisory roles, corporate innovation work, and startup opportunities outside of Upwork. I am now back in Toronto, and this profile reflects what the work has become: leading strategy, positioning, fundraising-readiness, revenue, and technology-scope projects for founders and operators. Third, if you are making technology decisions, my role is not โ€œdeveloper for hire.โ€ My experience comes from leading complex technical work from the business side. At the company Snap acquired, I owned the product vision and commercial direction while working alongside CTO-level technical leadership, translating deep computer-vision capability into a buyer-ready use case. That is the role I play in technology projects: defining the right problem, scope, commercial logic, and execution path before expensive build decisions get made. Most execution problems are not really execution problems. They are wrong priorities, unclear positioning, a sales process that does not match the buyer, a technical roadmap disconnected from commercial reality, or a founder too deep in the business to see what is actually slowing growth. That is where I operate. I am useful when a business has motion but not enough clarity. You may have leads, a product, a technical team, a pitch, or a list of projects, but something still feels off. The offer is not sharp enough. The sales conversation is inconsistent. The product vision is not translating into buyer demand. The founder is chasing too many priorities. I help identify what to ignore, what to fix, and where to focus next. I can help with: โ€ข Strategy and prioritization โ€ข Offer clarity and positioning โ€ข Sales process audits and restructuring โ€ข High-ticket sales strategy and consultative discovery โ€ข Strategic sales and revenue leadership โ€ข Founder and operator decision support โ€ข Fundraising readiness, raise narrative, and investor positioning โ€ข Technology project scoping and commercial validation โ€ข AI and automation project scoping and direction โ€ข Exit readiness and positioning for acquisition A large part of my work is helping businesses communicate value more clearly. That can mean tightening the sales process, reframing the offer, clarifying the buyerโ€™s desired outcome, or identifying where the customer journey is creating friction. For high-ticket offers, I use identity-based framing ethically: not as pressure, but as a way to help buyers see whether a decision aligns with the direction they are already moving toward. How I work: clear scope before we start, and named ownership on every piece of the work. If I am not the right person for something, I say so in the first conversation, because a wrong engagement costs us both more than a short call. Relevant background: โ€ข Co-founder and CEO through the go-to-market phase of a deep-tech company acquired by Snap Inc. โ€ข Led product vision and commercial repositioning for complex computer-vision technology โ€ข Worked alongside CTO-level technical leadership through strategic acquisition โ€ข Founder of Soundboard.space, a principal-led strategic advisory and execution practice โ€ข 15+ years across sales, consulting, operations, and founder-led growth โ€ข IBM Global Services background in enterprise service operations, escalation paths, and structured client workflows โ€ข Experience with SMB, startup, service-based, enterprise, and technical founder environments When an engagement needs technical build, AI integration, or infrastructure delivery, I bring it through my practice with named ownership and transparent rates. I lead the commercial and strategic direction. Technical delivery runs through a dedicated technical lead with a decade of production experience. You always know who is doing what.

I'm an HR recruiter who turns hiring headaches into hiring wins. Need an IT recruiter who actually delivers? I've helped tech companies cut time-to-hire by 32-46% while improving candidate quality - not sacrificing it. What I do as a Recruiter๐ŸŽฏ As your IT recruiting and talent sourcing partner, I handle everything from LinkedIn recruiting to executive search. I'm a headhunter and talent acquisition specialist who fills engineering, product, C-level, and go-to-market roles for Web3, SaaS, fintech, blockchain, and cybersecurity companies worldwide. My recruiter approach combines aggressive candidate sourcing with a systematic process. I function as your virtual assistant for recruitment operations - managing sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and onboarding. This recruiter doesn't just send resumes and vanish. Services & Recruitment Expertise ๐Ÿ’ผ ๐Ÿ“ŒIT Recruiting & Technical Talent Sourcing: As your dedicated Talent Sourcer, Recruiter, HR and Headhunter, I build industry-specific candidate pipelines through advanced LinkedIn recruiting, Boolean search mastery, competitor mapping, and community infiltration. My talent acquisition strategies reach passive candidates your competitors miss. ๐Ÿ“ŒFull-Cycle Recruitment Management: Beyond candidate sourcing, I coordinate interviews, conduct video prescreens, align stakeholders, and maintain weekly pipeline monitoring. Think recruiter + virtual assistant + HR partner in one. ๐Ÿ“ŒExecutive Search & Leadership Hiring: When recruiting senior talent, I bring headhunter-level discretion and sophisticated compensation negotiation. My executive search methodology targets CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Chief Product Officers, and technical founders with proven scaling experience. ๐Ÿ“ŒInterview Calibration & Hiring Process Optimization: This recruiter builds standardized assessment protocols, ensuring consistent evaluation criteria across your team. Better interview-to-offer ratios through systematic talent acquisition, not guesswork. Real Recruiter Results ๐Ÿ“Š My IT recruiting and talent sourcing track record: โšก 46% faster hiring velocity for precision equipment tech company (3 placements) โšก 33% time-to-hire improvement for data security software firm โšก 32% faster closes for advertising tech platform โšก 21-day average fill time across concurrent recruitment engagements โšก Built a sustainable hiring infrastructure enabling 10x growth scalability These numbers come from disciplined recruiter execution - aggressive candidate sourcing, relentless LinkedIn recruiting, and headhunter persistence regardless of market difficulty. Technical Recruiting Specializations ๐Ÿš€ Engineering Roles: As an IT recruiter specializing in technical talent sourcing, I fill full-stack developers, blockchain engineers, protocol architects, DevOps specialists, security researchers, and technical co-founders. Product & Growth: My recruiting expertise covers product managers, growth marketers, agile coaches, business development leaders, and go-to-market executives. Executive Search: When you need C-level talent acquisition, I, as a headhunter, deliver, targeting leadership with proven track records in competitive markets. How I Work as Your Recruiter ๐Ÿค I integrate as your embedded talent sourcer and HR Recruiter, not a distant vendor. You get weekly pipeline reviews, proactive problem-solving, and transparent candidate sourcing metrics. My LinkedIn recruiting, interview coordination, and offer management run seamlessly alongside your internal recruitment team. As both recruiter and virtual assistant for recruitment operations, I handle the administrative burden - job descriptions, ATS management, candidate experience, hiring analytics - so your leadership focuses on evaluation and selection. Why Choose Me As An IT Recruiter? โœจ Specialized Headhunter Focus: I'm not a generalist recruiter dabbling in IT recruiting. I exclusively serve tech companies competing for scarce technical talent. My candidate sourcing channels reflect years of relationship-building in specific communities. Complete Talent Acquisition Ownership: You're hiring a recruiter who owns the entire process -assessment design, interview calibration, reference checks, offer negotiation, closing support. Not just LinkedIn profiles dumped in your inbox. Speed Meets Quality: My talent sourcing balances headhunter urgency with thorough evaluation. Aggressive recruitment timelines don't compromise candidate quality. Every engagement maintains the same standard of excellence. Long-Term HR Partnership: Post-hire, I support onboarding and provide replacement guarantees. This recruiter relationship extends beyond signatures into an ongoing talent acquisition partnership. Ready to Hire Smarter? ๐Ÿ’ช If your hiring velocity lags expectations, if candidate sourcing produces generic applicants, or if you lack a dedicated recruiter, let's fix it. Your competition already has its recruiter advantage. Time to build yours. ๐ŸŽฏ
