I'm looking to lead SEO and AI visibility (AEO/GEO) inside one company for the long term, after 16 years running my own consultancy. I need room to ship work and measure what it does for revenue, and I'm happy going more strategic or more hands-on. Remote from Lake Geneva, WI, and glad to travel to Chicago, Milwaukee or Madison.

SEO and AI organic growth leader at Profound Strategy who grew an Adobe division’s traffic 10x.
What I'm looking for
At Profound Strategy, I built organic search into a durable acquisition channel for B2B companies including Adobe, Atlassian, and Skedulo. For Adobe, I led a three-year embedded search and content engagement that grew a division’s subdomain traffic 10x.
I also ran Profound Strategy’s marketing, sales, and services teams. We grew annual bookings 7x in three years, and a content model I developed achieved a repeatable hit rate above 70%.
With Syllabus, I built an SEO platform from internal tooling to public beta, cutting analysis time on live programs by 50% to 90%. I’m closing the consultancy in 2026 to lead pipeline growth from SEO and/or AI inside one company.
