Lead, Media & Performance (Ads) at FundedNext | $18M+ Ad Spend | Google & Meta Certified
What I'm looking for
I’m a performance-driven Paid Ads Specialist with over 5 years of experience scaling digital campaigns across Google Ads, Meta Ads, YouTube, TikTok, Bing, and programmatic platforms. Currently in a leadership role in media and performance marketing at FundedNext (by NEXT Ventures), where I’ve contributed to significant global growth through strategic acquisition and cross-channel campaign leadership.
As one of the earliest team members, I played a pivotal role in transforming FundedNext from a new launch into a rapidly scaling industry leader—achieving a strong seven-figure revenue trajectory within the first few months and supporting its continued exponential growth to date. Today, FundedNext stands as one of the top players in the space, often regarded as a market leader. My scope includes full-funnel strategy, creative and copy ideation, media planning and buying, audience targeting, and collaborating closely with partners like Google, Meta, and Aleph Group.
Prior to focusing solely on performance, I led social media and brand communication for several NEXT Ventures brands—overseeing organic growth, paid content strategies, and public-facing digital campaigns. Under this work, we scaled communities from scratch to over 200K+ followers and thousands of YouTube subscribers, combining performance marketing with PR and brand storytelling.
I currently manage an energetic team, love working in ClickUp, and enjoy aligning with company-wide OKRs to keep campaigns focused and trackable. Whether it’s testing creative, analyzing data, or building scalable campaign systems—my passion lies in performance that drives sustainable growth.
