## About

I took my last company from seed funding to Series A and helped push revenue past $1 million\. I know what it takes to build momentum when the stakes are high and the resources are limited\. In my 8\+ years of experience, I've built marketing functions from zero, crafted positioning that actually sticks, and armed sales teams with the tools they need to close\. I specialize in turning complex tech into clear, powerful stories that move markets \- across B2B SaaS, AI, Cloud tech, and more\. If you're looking to level up your marketing game \- whether you're a founder, a solo marketer, or just starting your career, I’m here to help you skip the guesswork\. I’ll share real\-world strategies, frameworks that work, and lessons they don’t teach you in textbooks\. Let’s get you to your next big milestone, faster and smarter\.
