Fractional & Interim CEO for technical founders and I Acquire and Grow B2B SaaS and Digital Agencies

I help high-growth SaaS and tech companies scale faster by integrating sales leadership, growth marketing, operational discipline, and AI-powered strategies. Over the last decade, I’ve taken on founder, executive, and turnaround roles where I’ve delivered measurable impact in fast-moving environments.

- Scaled a SaaS product from $0 → $10K MRR in 3 months
- Increased revenue by 40% as CEO (Promoted twice) while reducing churn 33% in less than 6 months
- Doubled customer reviews (2★ → 4★ on Capterra) 
- Built and led high-performing sales teams in SaaS, VC/PE, healthcare analytics, fintech, and executive search 

Now, after running my own agency and gaining experience in SaaS, healthcare analytics, and quantitative high-frequency trading, I’m seeking my next opportunity to drive growth inside a high-potential company. I’m open to leadership, fractional, or advisory roles where I can deliver immediate revenue impact while helping shape long-term strategy.

Alongside leadership and growth strategy, I’m also an experienced copywriter. From landing pages and email sequences to pitch decks and brand positioning, I use words to convert traffic into revenue. For SaaS and VC-backed companies, this means I can both architect the growth engine and create the customer-facing messaging that fuels it.

I primarily focus on long-term growth leadership, but I’m also open to fractional or advisory roles where I can deliver immediate impact. If you’re building something ambitious and need a leader who thrives in scaling environments, let’s connect.
