Many business owners and founders are excellent at what they do but too often are drowning in everything else. Operations that made sense at $1M start breaking at $3M. A team that worked great with 5 people struggles at 15. And when it's time to grow, raise money, or sell those cracks become very expensive.
I help owners fix that before it costs them.
I bring an unusual combination to the table: I've run businesses from the inside as an owner and executive, including serving as VP and General Manager with full P&L responsibility and 9 direct reports in a middle market, family owned company. I currently work as an M&A advisor on transactions up to $25M. That means I see your business the way a buyer, investor, or growth partner would, not just the way an operator does. That perspective changes everything about where we focus and what we prioritize.
What I do:
Identify what's actually breaking — not just the symptoms, but the structural issues underneath them
Build clean, scalable systems your team can follow without you babysitting every process
Improve margins through smarter cost control, workflow redesign, and accountability structures
Prepare businesses for growth events: a capital raise, a partnership, an acquisition, or a sale
Step in as a Fractional COO when you need an experienced operator in your corner without the full-time overhead
Coach individuals and leadership teams on performance, communication, and career trajectory
Who I work best with:
Owners of small and lower middle market businesses — typically $1M to $25M — who are stretched thin, hitting a growth ceiling, or getting ready for a major transition. If you're preparing to sell, bring on a partner, or simply build something that doesn't fall apart when you step away, that's exactly where I operate.
You will find me direct, calm, and results focused. I don't disappear after the kickoff call but I stay involved until the work is actually done.
If any of that sounds like what you need, let's talk.

Scaling Companies with Clarity

💡 What this means for you:
- Leadership team alignment — everyone rowing in the same direction.
- Accountability — Rocks, Scorecards, and clear ownership.
- Execution — Meetings that solve issues instead of wasting time.
- Freedom — A business that grows without being founder-dependent.
Ways to Work Together:
- EOS® Diagnostic Workshop
- Quarterly EOS® Facilitation
- Leadership Accountability Coaching

I work best with founders and leadership teams who want to scale with less chaos and more clarity. If you’re ready to turn vision into execution, let’s connect.

Fractional CMO/CRO, Sales Operations Consultant, and AI Visibility Agency Founder
Verified, Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success Score, with over $100M in client revenue generated over the last decade, and $60k in Upwork earnings.
Before spending 3.5 years building my previous company (acquired in 2022), I was a top rated freelancer on Upwork ranked #1 for multiple keywords including Fractional CMO, Marketing Consultant, Sales Enablement, and Sales Automation.
Since then, I've co-founded RevX (revenue operations partnership) and Position 0 (AI visibility agency). Both are best-in-class in their categories.
WHAT I DO
- Fractional CMO engagements covering GTM strategy, offer creation, brand positioning, marketing operations, revenue models, and end-to-end campaign oversight.
- Sales Operations and RevOps build-outs including ABM, sales enablement, lifecycle marketing, pipeline architecture, and CRM/automation implementation.
- Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and AI Visibility through Position 0, a Scrunch Partner Agency for GEO. I created the P0 Protocol, our three-phase methodology for getting brands recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
CERTIFIED PARTNERSHIPS (Current)
1. ActiveCampaign Certified Partner: hands-on platform expertise. Configuration, automation, lifecycle marketing, and CRM build-outs without handing off.
2.Scrunch Partner Agency (via Position 0): for clients whose growth depends on AI search visibility. The P0 Protocol covers technical foundation (Build), third-party citation development (Broadcast), and measurement (Earn). Every engagement starts with a baseline AI Visibility Score and ends with a post-engagement score. The delta is the proof.
ABOUT ME
I excel at finding the balance between Human-2-Human marketing and systematic efficiencies. Past client work has included ABM, brand strategy, GTM, offer crafting, high-ticket sales, full lifecycle marketing operations, SEO content, marketing automation, and Fractional CMO/CRO engagements.
My team and I are battle-tested across the Agency Services, Education, Hospitality, Internet Marketing, Professional Services, Retail, and Seminar industries. We've worked with clients all over the world including Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Mexico, Singapore, and the UK.
WHO I LOVE TO WORK WITH
Business owners who value candor and results. Operators who are good at execution or have teams that are. Artists, creators, experts, and practitioners who have great products but feel "icky" when having to sell. Entrepreneurs who want a shark (with a heart) in their corner.
WHO I MAY NOT BE FOR
People who like fluff or prioritize vanity metrics. Anyone who thinks I'll be a silver bullet. Experts who can't trust the agreed-upon plan. Entrepreneurs with shiny object syndrome.
If you're looking for an experienced and proven marketing and sales leader who has managed millions in marketing or designed the systems that have generated well over 100 million in sales, then we should have a chat. I'd love to help you and your business.
