At Rally, I helped grow partnership-driven revenue from 30% to over 80% of total revenue and built an ecosystem that grew revenue 15x. At Delivery, pilots I led produced top-5% revenue locations and expanded to 1,000+ merchants. I work with founders and operators who have traction but no repeatable system behind it — replacing manual, inconsistent business development with repeatable revenue engines built on stronger GTM strategy, partnership design, and AI-assisted research and prioritization. My background spans more than 20 years across institutional finance, startups, and consulting. I began my career as an Assistant Vice President at The Bank of New York before moving into the NYC startup ecosystem, where I helped companies like Rally and Delivery professionalize their business development, partnerships, and go-to-market strategy. Clients typically hire me when: — Revenue depends too heavily on the founder — Partnerships or outbound feel manual and fragile — Growth is happening but the system behind it is weak — They need senior judgment before scaling execution — They want AI to create leverage, not noise What I do best: — GTM strategy for zero-to-one and post-traction companies — Partnership strategy and ecosystem development — Business development and outbound system design — Revenue architecture, KPI frameworks, and operating cadence — AI-assisted research, prospecting, scoring, and prioritization — Strategic advisory at founder inflection points I'm not a generic automation consultant. I use AI where it actually improves commercial performance — reducing manual research, improving prioritization, tightening outreach relevance, and helping teams focus on the highest-value opportunities. I combine senior business judgment with hands-on operating clarity. I'm direct, commercially minded, and focused on building systems your team can run after I leave. My goal is not to create dependency — it's to leave behind a stronger revenue engine. Best fit for companies already generating revenue. If you're still pre-product or pre-traction, there are better early-stage fits.

Expert Vetted by Upwork. I'm currently the co-founder and CSO of a startup. I was previously co-founder/CEO of a mobile app startup. "C.E.O." really stands for Chief Everything Officer. I started my mobile app startup with no prior tech/startup background and have been through it all, so I know what works and doesn't work. I know how to build businesses and sell businesses to investors. I consult on the following: - Growth, capital-efficiency-oriented, and process-driven fractional CFO - Building Initial Enterprise Sales Funnels - Finding initial product market fit, early customers - Product/Sales/Marketing Strategy - Process design and implementation for customer acquisition funnel (huge champion of automation and AI integrations) - Startup/Management/Strategy - Product Development/Go-To-Market/Growth Hacking - Angel/Venture Funding Strategist Here are a few secrets: - Capital raising: You don't need a written business plan to get funded. No one reads them. To get funded, you need a strong team, good storytelling, a pitch deck, financials (historicals are 10x more valuable than forward projections), revenue/customer retention analysis, and an appendix. - Since Q2 2022, enterprises to SMBs have shifted their focus towards margin preservation, emphasizing cash flow, and being as lean as possible. The future of management is labor force elasticity based on gross margins, running your company with an extremely lean and elastic approach that is grounded on gross margin preservation/expansion -- having a system in place that allows you to quickly ramp up and ramp down your operations to match market demand, regardless of the economic conditions. Highlights: - CFO at an AI-driven software development SaaS company. (2023 - Present) - Currently VP of Strategy & Growth for an early-stage B2B DevOps SaaS startup. (2021-present) Results during my tenure: Reduced our S&M spend by 60%, Reduce our average CAC from 11.4K to 2.6K. Accelerate our LTM ARR growth from 49% to 94%. Our forward NTM ARR growth rate is +160%. - Fractional CFO at 3 startups, including a smart light bulb e-commerce startup with $30M+ LTM revenue; responsibilities include capital raising/planning and M&A advisory. (2021-present) - Startup consultant primarily focused on capital raising, strategic planning, market sequencing, critical path, GTM strategy, sales funnel, process improvement/automation -- Industry/vertical agnostic - B2B, B2C, B2B2C, Marketplace, On-Demand models. (2016-present) - Consultant for G2VP, San-Fran-based ESG VC (2020-2022) - Ex-CEO/Cofounder of a B2B (pivoted from B2C) AdTech mobile keyboard app startup (raised outside capital and exited). (2013-2016) - Ex-CPA for Ernst & Young in NYC, working in the Financial Services Transaction Services group. I provided valuations for private businesses in M&A deals ($1 billion+ market cap) and illiquid financial instruments. (2008-2013) I love the startup community and want to give back. My time is limited and valuable so I only want to work with companies I know I can add a lot of value. Sorry, need to exclude pre-revenue companies and companies below 250K ARR. I will pass on work for another startup if I do not think I can help it become successful or are below

I help companies, investors, and entrepreneurs find opportunities, partners, suppliers, buyers, real estate deals, and market intelligence in international and hard-to-research markets. I am an American international business operator with years of experience living and working across frontier and emerging markets. I have been doing International Buisness since 2016, worked with and operated businesses internationally, and grew up in a diplomatic family, which gave me early exposure to cross-border business, local market dynamics, culture, negotiation, and international opportunity spotting. Speak 3 languages fluently English, Spanish, Russian and currently learning French. My work is useful when you are trying to answer questions like: Who are the best suppliers, buyers, distributors, or local partners in this market? Is this country or city worth entering? What are the best commercial opportunities in a specific region? Where are the real estate or investment opportunities? Who are the local operators, developers, brokers, advertisers, agencies, or decision-makers? What is the competitive landscape? How can we enter the market, find clients, or build local partnerships? I can help with: Market entry research International business development Supplier sourcing Distributor and importer research B2B buyer lead generation Commercial real estate research Investment opportunity research Local partner identification Procurement research Vendor pricing research Advertising and media market research Competitor research Emerging and frontier market intelligence Import/export research Go-to-market strategy Partnership outreach Unlike generic researchers, I focus on practical commercial intelligence. My deliverables are designed to help you make decisions and take action: verified company lists, buyer and supplier databases, distributor maps, real estate opportunity reports, investor research, market-entry briefs, competitor landscapes, outreach strategies, and clear next steps. I am especially useful for clients entering unfamiliar markets where basic online research is not enough and they need someone who can understand the local business environment, identify real opportunities, and organize messy information into something useful. Whether you need to find suppliers, source buyers, research a real estate market, identify investment opportunities, map local advertisers, compare competitors, or understand a new country before entering it, I can help you move faster with clear, practical business intelligence.
