What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead strategy, operations, go-to-market, and revenue growth through market disruption—building AI-native systems, high-performing teams, and scalable commercial engines.

At Storylake Marketing and Textbroker International, I lead US strategy, operations, P&L, go-to-market execution, and commercial growth through major shifts in AI-driven search and digital marketing.

I built a full go-to-market strategy for an AI-assisted service line, from positioning and sales funnel through fulfillment, growing it into a meaningful share of revenue in under a year. I also restructured a major enterprise relationship around AI-assisted delivery, reducing client costs while improving profitability.

Across Textbroker, I’ve led a commercial pivot into AI-assisted and Reddit brand marketing services, advised on a next-generation MarTech platform, and built the operating systems—OKRs, scorecards, SOPs, reporting, and executive cadence—that help teams move faster.

Earlier, I grew retention and customer lifetime value through consulting-led client success frameworks, exceeded sales quotas through full-cycle business development, and led marketing across SEO, PPC, SEM, social, and lifecycle email. I bring an empathetic, hands-on leadership style to complex commercial problems.
