Operations Analyst

Let's skip the typical "how I started from nothing" origin story. 

Here’s what matters:

If you're a thought leader or keynote speaker and not leveraging modern lead generation strategies… you're leaving a lot of opportunities on the table.

Why? Because people book people.

If you've got:

-Value-add content
-A targeted list your ideal prospect
-Personalization that scales
-A follow-up system focused on building relationships

You can get booked on stages around the world, and sell your thought leadership to your ideal client.

And most importantly, amplify your impact.

How do I know this?

Because when I was building my lead generation agency, I discovered the power of combining data-driven strategies with deep industry insights.

I went from struggling to fill calendars to securing millions in revenue for my clients across various industries. 

I scaled my agency from a solo operation to over 300 clients and 80 employees worldwide.

Now, I'm applying these proven strategies to help professional speakers and thought leaders to grow their impact and secure high-profile engagements.

Interested in taking your thought leadership business to new heights?

Drop me a message, and let's explore how we can elevate your influence and bookings.

In case you're not interested in growth strategies and just want to know more about me, here are some random facts:

-I'm a Philly native who once thought an MBA was the only path to success (spoiler: it wasn't)

-My first entrepreneurial venture was a drink can cooler (it flopped, but led me to discover lead generation)

-I once turned a skeptical client's business around, hitting a $100k month in 2020 and making him $50k in a single month

-I'm a family man who took the leap into entrepreneurship with a wife and two kids depending on me (talk about motivation!)

-I've been consulting for Gotham Artists Speaker Bureau for the last 3.5 years, bringing my marketing expertise to the world of professional speakers.
