What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior growth leadership role where I can own full-funnel outcomes, build analytics-driven growth systems, and scale cross-border consumer products backed by strong performance marketing, CRO, and lifecycle execution.

15+ years of building and scaling consumer tech and D2C brands across global markets, spanning the full growth stack: acquisition, conversion, retention, and monetisation, with full ownership of strategy, execution, and P&L.

Operating at the intersection of brand and data: equally comfortable repositioning a brand from scratch as I am running a multi-million dollar performance marketing campaign. $25M+ in cumulative revenue built across D2C, retail, marketplaces, and international distribution. $7M+ in media budget deployed. Spent six years as a founding executive at Square Off, taking it from its first dollar to $15M+ in revenue, distribution across 40+ countries, a $1.5M+ crowdfunding campaign, and an eventual acquisition by Miko Robotics.

Currently consulting with venture-backed startups as a fractional growth and strategy lead, helping founders build scalable growth systems, enter new markets, and make better decisions with data.
