What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own paid acquisition strategy—not just campaign management—diagnose performance changes, connect metrics to business economics, and improve funnel/product outcomes while leading specialists toward higher execution quality.

I’m a performance marketing leader with 16+ years in paid acquisition, evolving from hands-on PPC execution to acquisition strategy, portfolio oversight, and team leadership. I’m strongest when performance needs diagnosis—linking channel metrics to business economics and improving the surrounding funnel or product.

Across international roles and self-employed consulting, I’ve built acquisition functions from the ground up, helped teams scale, and partnered with product, analytics, sales, creative, CEOs, and investors. I led international PPC teams of up to 8 specialists and oversaw approximately 35 client accounts across the US and Europe.

Selected outcomes include helping an Android utility startup reach monthly operating break-even, increasing Microsoft Ads conversion rate by 30% through a product and platform solution, and launching paid acquisition for a specialised B2B healthtech platform with a 12+ month sales cycle.

In my current work (AvistarAds), I’ve built Google Ads and Microsoft Ads acquisition for B2B healthcare and supported go-to-market through channels like Meta and Apple Search Ads. I aim to set priorities clearly, mentor specialists to execute at a higher level, and maintain delivery quality with dashboards, reporting, and consistent stakeholder collaboration.
