8-12 weeks (monthly fee)

Once the engine is running, you'll need to expand its channels so it continues without your intervention.

Best for: post-raise teams who need a durable, validated function for step-change growth.

Each week ends with shipped work, a short review, and clear calls on what to double down on vs. drop.

Includes ✅

  • Weekly review (what's shipped, changed + next)

  • Channel breadth (content/SEO, lifecycle, demand capture, paid if it fits)

  • Conversion + activation lifts across the journey

  • Hiring + onboarding plan (key roles, interviewing)

  • Transition plan so your next hire can take the keys

Marketing Leader. System Builder.

Marketing Leader. System Builder.

Marketing Leader. System Builder.

I build marketing systems that compound.

I started at Microsoft, then moved into VC-backed startups across fintech, crypto, AR, and DTC.

My niche is 0→1 GTM: moments where the goal is clear but the playbook isn’t. I step into unclear paths, separate signal from noise, ship a v1, then turn it into a repeatable motion a team can run.

Along the way, I’ve built lean, globally remote teams, worked across sales-led, PLG, and hybrid models, and stayed close to execution so I'm accountable for outcomes, not just recommendations.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

How do I know it’s a fit?

It’s a fit if you have real demand potential, but marketing feels chaotic or inconsistent: lots of ideas, no clear priorities, and nothing compounding week to week. Best timing: post-raise, pre-launch or when founder-led marketing is starting to stall.

Do you execute or just advise?
