What I'm looking for

I’m looking to partner remotely with growth-minded founders to lead complex API lifecycles, secure critical partnerships, and drive enterprise market expansion.

At Smart Transaction Systems, I lead complex API implementations for a FinTech and B2B2C SaaS portfolio, from business case modeling through live deployment. I align engineering sprints with partner platforms and support ongoing portfolio stewardship.

I direct partner onboarding, profit-sharing contracts, and merchant pricing tiers, while advising the CEO on revenue channels, fee structures, and platform architecture. I also work to secure channel alliances and expand into enterprise markets.

Through Llewellyn Partnership Group, I advised enterprise organizations on strategic relationships and brand initiatives, including work with Boeing, Wells Fargo, MasterCard, and Edward Jones. I also led contractor teams and coordinated production logistics for major media networks.
