Venture builder scaling B2B and D2C startups from 0-to-1 to 1-to-10.
What I'm looking for
I am a venture builder who launches and scales high-growth B2B and D2C startups, guiding ventures through the full lifecycle from 0-to-1 and 1-to-10. I have worked with YC-, Accel- and Sequoia-backed companies and driven multi-million dollar ARR with consistent 25% month-over-month growth.
I've led cross-functional GTM teams, improved one-on-one sales conversion rates 2.25x, lifted webinar conversion 2.4x, and cut CPL by 23% through GenAI-powered creative refreshes and direct user interview insights. I validated new AI SaaS and wellness ventures and executed market entries including UAE and a PET recycling GTM for a global conglomerate.
As a strategy consultant and product-minded operator, I've built financial models and scorecards, automated analytics with Python reducing annual man-hours by 66%, and driven org-wide digital transformations. I focus on data-led experiments, customer insight, and building teams and processes that scale revenue and market leadership.
