Semi-technical growth lead who builds with AI. Owned growth, product and ops at fintech, education and clinical teams for 13+ years.
What I'm looking for
I've spent 13+ years at the intersection of product, brand, and growth, helping early-stage initiatives go from zero to scale.
My edge is combining the rigour of user research and data-informed positioning with the scrappiness of hands-on GTM execution. Whether that's building acquisition engines that convert at low CAC, running onboarding experiments that move activation metrics, or translating qualitative insight into messaging that actually resonates, I stay close to the work and own the outcome.
I've operated as a cross-functional lead owning the full revenue funnel, plugging operational gaps, and building lean systems that hold up under aggressive growth.
If you're building something and need someone who thinks at the strategic level and executes at the ground level, that's where I do my best work.
