Coach for heads of growth | PLG advisor | former growth @ Postscript, Wistia, HubSpot

After coaching more than 50 clients, it's become clear... Most Growth Teams face the same struggles:

You’re not always sure which lever to pull to drive meaningful impact.

You don’t have a repeatable operating system, so there's no structured process for prioritizing experiments, aligning across teams, or scaling execution

You're spending too much time convincing instead of executing. You're constantly selling ideas internally, securing resources, and fighting for buy-in.

Your role feels misunderstood because your boss has never done your job, and leadership sees the numbers but doesn’t always recognize the full impact of growth.

You’re ready for the next level but don’t have a clear roadmap to get there.

I'm Andrew

I’m the former growth lead at two high-volume PLG businesses: Director of Growth at Wistia, and Head of Growth at Postscript.

I’ve been where you are.

I’ve built and scaled growth teams from scratch, run hundreds of experiments, and made every mistake in the book. I know what "good" looks like, and I know how overwhelming it can feel without mentorship from someone who's done your job.

Now, I take everything I've learned to help other growth leaders increase their impact and influence.

Delivering Value offers coaching & advising for product-led growth teams.

Because scaling a product-led business is hard. It's a really effective go-to market model, when done right. But, it’s still relatively new and most companies don’t have someone with extensive PLG experience. 

That means you spend a lot of time and money making mistakes trying to figure it out. Or, you feel overwhelmed by all the content out there, trying to teach yourself.

That’s were the idea of Delivering Value was born. To help early-stage tech companies save time by avoiding common mistakes, learn proven frameworks & methods instead of trying to figure it out themselves, & ultimately grow faster.

Services include:
* 1:1 coaching for heads of growth
* PLG advising for SaaS teams
* Digital products for the growth community

I specialize in helping clients who work at small to mid-sized SaaS companies (usually starting around $8-$10 million in ARR), not tech unicorns. If that sounds like you, send me a message!

I'm helping a bunch of people update their resumes. And I'm seeing a new format that’s working right now - it's different from the advice we've been told for years.

The old way was all about results:

- took [thing] from A --> B 
- increased conversion rate of [thing] Z%
- scaled to $XX,XXX MRR

Good stuff for sure.

But without the context of the business (size, stage, gtm model) the reader can't tell if those results are a single, triple, or a home run.

And the same title in growth can mean five different things depending the stuff above too. 

That is why strong candidates keep getting overlooked.

After working with several growth leaders on their job searches in 2025, I started testing a different way to structure their resumes.

What emerged from that experimentation became the CATER framework.

(ironic because everyone says to “cater” your resume to the role. But this actually helps you cater it to what you actually did.)

Here's the gist:

Use one bullet for each
- context: what kind of company you were at (size, stage, GTM)

- accountability / ownership: the KPIs you were responsible for + the surface area you owned

- team: who you managed, how the team changed, who you worked with

- execution + results: what you did and how it went (most resumes start here… which is why they fall flat)

Then you can go deeper with 3-4 bullets for the E/R part of the acronym.

Once you stack your resume in this order, it reads like a cohesive story - and it allows your future interviewers to ask much better questions. 

Curious if anyone else has tried this. It’s been working really well for the folks I’m helping.

ps - I just did a deep dive about this on substack + youtube: https://lnkd.in/edC7NWWB

Coach for heads of growth | PLG advisor | Former 2x growth lead (Wistia, Postscript) | Co-Founder Camp Solo | Host Delivering Value Pod 🎙️

I’m 39. Have 2 kiddos. And run two businesses from Massachusetts 👋

Before this, I spent 12 years growing B2B SaaS companies like Wistia, Postscript, and HubSpot.

Now, I'm growing my own stuff.

Delivering Value (my core business):
- 1:1 coaching for people who lead growth teams
- advising product-led companies on scaling systems
- podcast where growth leaders share their toughest career moments

Camp Solo (my second business):
- private community for ambitious solopreneurs
- members share wins, losses, and build together

Here’s what that looks like day to day 👇

5:45am - wake-up to screaming 17mo old
6-8 am - get everyone fed, dressed, and out the door
9-10 am - workout and shower
10–2 pm - coaching & advisory calls
2–5 pm - creative work and business ops
5:30 - 8 - dinner and family time

Organic content is my growth engine. I:

- share lessons from my 13 yrs in the tenches
- give insights from 85+ coaching clients
- build in public, even though my college friends think its cringy

Running solo looks polished from the outside, but I ride a roller coaster of emotions depending on the moment.

Still, I wouldn’t trade it.

That's a small tax to pay for the freedom of being an entrepreneur.

ps - if you're thinking of going solo, drop your questions below. Happy to share what I’ve learned so far.

No alternative text description for this image

If you like to…

explain your job to everyone you work with (again and again)
constantly beg for resources (and get told “not this quarter”)
feel like you’re the only one prioritizing the business over personal agendas

…might I recommend a career in growth?

The great paradox of career growth: 
People who get promoted fastest tend to do less, not more.

- they're not volunteering for every new opportunity
- they're not working the most hours
- they're not the most responsive

They’re choosing the right opportunities. And making sure everyone knows WHY those choices matter.

I’ve seen this pattern again and again.

First as someone who climbed from IC to Head of Growth.
Now as a coach to dozens of growth leaders doing the same.

Promotions don’t go to the hardest workers doing the most units of work.
(at least not once you reach Director or VP level)

They go to the people who create the most impact. 

I recorded an 11-minute video breaking down the four habits that separate high performers from everyone else, including how to:

align perfectly with your boss
protect your focus
manage up like a pro
make your work visible (without playing politics)

Signup page: your trial expires in 14 days
In-app banner: your trial expires in 14 days
Welcome email: your trial expires in 14 days
The SDR: “you have 14 days to enjoy your trial”

Someone, writing into support:

“Hey, how long is the trial?”

I’ve made all of these mistakes as a former 2x head of growth:

- I created sweet dashboards nobody used.
- I kept weak experiments alive way too long.
- I over-engineered work that could’ve been quick/scrappy.
- I wasted time on projects when I should have pushed back instead.
- I scoped work to the resources I had (instead of advocating for the resources I really needed)

Each seemed small at the time. 

But over months and years, these little mistakes add up. Learning to spot (and fix) them was a turning point. 

Sometimes the most important lessons aren’t the latest tactics, channels, or frameworks.

What’s the small mistake you wish you had caught earlier?
