Vancouver, Canada - 12:32 pm local time
Founders and CEOs bring me in when growth has stalled, messaging isn't landing, or GTM lacks the clarity needed to win enterprise deals, close investors, or scale with confidence.

I don't run campaigns. I fix the upstream problems — positioning, narrative, market entry, and commercial strategy — so execution actually works.

32 years. Seven industries. Two constants: strategic clarity and measurable results.

My background spans SaaS, FinTech, AI, Web3/DeFi, healthcare, life sciences, and government. Before working with startups, I built my foundation on Fortune 500 mandates: Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, IBM, Disney, and the U.S. Department of Defense. That experience shapes how I work today — enterprise rigor, without enterprise bureaucracy.

Where I create the most value:

Go-to-market strategy and execution planning
Brand positioning and narrative clarity
Product marketing and thought leadership
Investor readiness and fundraising support
Enterprise and institutional credibility
Revenue growth and market expansion


Selected commercial impact:

Supported InfStones through a $110M raise (SoftBank, GGV) and drove $20M+ in enterprise sales
Delivered 5x revenue growth and scaled AmaZix from 25 to 60+ staff in one year
Raised $31M USD in 2018; supported a $40M raise for World Mobile Chain
Built a $7.4M sales pipeline in six months at QRC Hong Kong
Closed a $2M tokenization mandate with EMAAR in Dubai


What clients say:
"Al is a highly accomplished performance expert with a long track record leading Fortune 100 companies. He inspires confidence and solves problems in the most challenging environments."
— Daniel Araya, PhD, Forbes & Brookings Institution
"Extremely sharp, creative, and entrepreneurial — able to synthesize complex data into workable solutions."
— Terry Donnelly, Former CMO, MDC Partners
"Al was the driving force behind our global GTM strategy and brand. His work was critical to sales success."
— Parker Poor, Head of Global Sales, InfStones
