What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a marketing-first operating role where I can turn growth into EBITDA and enterprise value—owning go-to-market, pricing, margin expansion, and disciplined cost structure improvements, with real authority to restructure and scale sustainably.

I’m a marketing-first operating executive focused on driving revenue growth to build EBITDA and enterprise value. I’ve scaled businesses from ~ $0 to $8M, $13M to $35M, and $12M to $126M while expanding margins 10–25+ points through pricing strategy, product design, storytelling, channel optimization, and disciplined cost structure improvements.

My approach blends turnaround discipline with data-driven growth strategies: building frameworks for go-to-market and pricing, improving product mix, and tightening financial forecasting and P&L management. I’ve built and rebuilt brands, designed complementary DTC and retail channels, and supported investment conversations from pre-seed to IPO.

My management style is player-coach and players’ coach. I build my team up and prepare them to make good decisions but I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty and to make the tough call.
