I build autonomous marketing teams and scalable growth engines without founder bottlenecks.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to help leaders build autonomous, high-performance marketing teams, create strategic clarity, grow brand authority and community, and develop scalable systems that remove the founder as the bottleneck.

At Tapfiliate, I lead marketing vision and thought leadership for affiliate and referral marketing, growing brand search by 60% year over year, increasing marketing’s revenue contribution 5X, and reducing marketing investment by 50%.

Over 20 years, I’ve built sales and marketing engines across Affise, Artics Internet Solutions, and digital agencies. I use the A.N.T.S. Protocol to turn chaos into strategic clarity, help teams take initiative, and create playbooks that let growth systems run without the founder.
