I specialize in founder-led sales transitions - helping founders professionalize their GTM processes to set their first sales and marketing hires up for success. Clients who work with me have achieved 150-590% YoY revenue growth. For fractional GTM execs - I serve as an executive coach, helping them launch or scale their solopreneur business. I've built and sustained a multi-six-figure solopreneur business for over 3 years and want to help others do the same.
