What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply executive research, market intelligence, and C-suite engagement experience to build high-quality growth pipelines, sharpen strategic decisions, and support leadership-focused organizations.

At World 50 Group, I built its first dedicated research capability, supporting 264 executive memberships representing approximately $13 million in revenue. I produce market, account, organizational, and executive intelligence for invitation-only C-suite communities.

I led membership development for Strategy 50, Marketing 50, and Executive Leader 50, owning acquisition from market segmentation and account prioritization through outreach, qualification, closing coordination, invoicing, and onboarding. I secured 50 new memberships worth approximately $2.5 million in annual revenue and ranked as World 50's #1 Membership Development Associate.

I build practical sales enablement tools—including market maps, organizational charts, executive briefs, target lists, qualification frameworks, outreach strategies, and pipeline reporting—and train teams to use them. Earlier, I evaluated acquisition opportunities at The Gores Group and supported the Office of the CEO at Platinum Equity.

Alongside my executive research work, I'm a doctoral candidate and researcher in philosophy at Boston College and a philosophy lecturer at Loyola Marymount University. I've published peer-reviewed research, earned a teaching excellence award, and taught 11 undergraduate courses.
