Growth marketer scaling acquisition, monetization, and revenue systems across early and growth-stage companies.
What I'm looking for
I’m a growth marketer focused on building and scaling acquisition, monetization, and revenue systems across early and growth-stage companies. I’ve consistently driven measurable outcomes, from paid acquisition to subscription and donation revenue.
At Western Standard, I built and scaled a paid acquisition system—growing the email base by 148%, increasing paid subscriptions by 29%, and significantly increasing donation revenue. At Teller Finance, I led growth and scaled a lending marketplace from 0 to $2M in loan volume.
I also bring operator experience: I’m a cofounder/CMO of 99Gamers, scaling a gaming marketplace to $250K in monthly GMV, and I founded MyTheater.org, scaling an SEO-driven entertainment directory to 20M users. I’ve improved SEO performance at Softdrive by increasing ranked keywords by 83%, boosting multiple top 3 positions, and improving the SEO score by 23%.
