What I'm looking for

I seek senior strategy roles driving enterprise GTM, pricing, and revenue decisions with cross-functional leadership, measurable impact, and opportunities to scale growth.

I am an enterprise strategy leader with 15+ years turning competitive intelligence, pricing dynamics, and market signals into executive growth decisions within large subscription businesses. I build investment cases, pressure-test multi-year roadmaps, and align Sales, Marketing, and Product leaders around scalable expansion strategies that deliver measurable commercial impact.

I've led cross-functional operating model design, managed a $3.2M budget and teams of manager-level reports, and delivered multimillion-dollar revenue outcomes—including a $1.3M six-month impact and partnership roadmaps projected to generate $50M annually. I advise early-stage clients on GTM infrastructure and published work on consumer spending and cost pressures.
