What I'm looking for

I seek a senior commercial or strategy role where I can scale revenue, build sales teams, shape go-to-market strategy, and drive measurable growth.

I am a versatile commercial leader with 10+ years growing startups and new ventures across fintech, energy, and insurance. I build high-performing sales organizations, launch new revenue lines, and close major enterprise deals through a blend of strategy, hustle, and relentless follow-through.

At Momentum I grew revenue 6x in 18 months by designing an enterprise sales motion, closing national broker deals, and launching a white-label back-office product. As Founder & CEO of Great Lakes Power I bootstrapped a residential solar installer and expanded operations into seven states, building operations, hiring, sales, and lender partnerships.

In strategy roles I have led go-to-market playbooks, shaped early product direction, and developed relationships across brokers, MGAs, reinsurers, and acquirers. I consistently deliver measurable revenue outcomes and scale repeatable commercial processes to support fast-growing businesses.
