What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or advise AI and deep-tech businesses through scale inflection points, shaping go-to-market strategy, pricing, revenue architecture, international expansion, and commercial execution.

I've rebuilt TVBeat from a near-insolvent SaaS business into a $20M+ ARR global enterprise, leading full P&L ownership across product, engineering, operations, sales, marketing, and business development. I secured enterprise agreements with Sky Media, Canal+, Proximus, OSN, Comcast, Charter, and DISH, including the company’s largest-ever $20M AI SaaS contract.

Across Exponential Interactive, VideoAmp, AOL Ventures, JumpTap, KPN, and Orange, I've built international commercial operations, entered new markets, integrated acquisitions across four continents, and led country teams across EMEA, APAC, and MENA. I now provide interim commercial and general-management leadership, founder advisory, and investment due diligence for AI and deep-tech companies.
