Business Development Intern

IE Business School

Conducted market research on various fintech startups and developed a marketing plan and a financial plan for a fintech business venture/startup as part of an international team.

For years, I ran a fintech marketing agency.

It was one big rollercoaster.

We chased every client we could find.

Our services? 

A mile wide, an inch deep:
-> Social media management
-> Content marketing
-> PR campaigns
-> SEO optimization
-> Paid advertising

Some months, we'd hit the jackpot.

Other times, we'd barely scrape by.

The feast-or-famine cycle was exhausting.

We were always hustling, always pitching.

Never knowing where the next client would come from.

Then, a pattern emerged from our fintech work.

We started noticing something about our VC and PE clients.

These CEOs were brilliant at what they did, but…

They struggled with personal branding…

Especially on LinkedIn.

These leaders had a wealth of knowledge.

Years of experience in dealmaking and scaling companies.

But their online presence? 

-> Almost non-existent.

Their deal flow? 

-> Often mediocre at best.

I saw an opportunity.

A chance to pivot - to specialize.

To solve a real problem for a specific audience.

In 2024, I made the leap.

I transformed my business model.

No more being all things to all people.

Instead, I focused on one thing:

Helping VC/PE CEOs dominate LinkedIn.

My new mission?
-> Build their personal brand authority.
-> Attract high-quality deal flow.
-> Position them as thought leaders in their space.

I developed a tailored approach:
-> LinkedIn profile overhauls
-> Strategic content calendars
-> Engagement strategies to expand their network
-> Tactics to showcase their expertise and values

The results were immediate and profound.

My clients started seeing:
-> Inbound inquiries from promising startups
-> Connections with industry heavyweights
-> Recognition as go-to experts in their fields
-> A steady stream of quality deals in their inbox

Gone were the days of cold outreach and constant pitching.

Now, opportunities came to them.

Are you a VC/PE CEO who wants to turn their profile into a deal flow magnet?

Check out my profile. 

Let's talk about how we can elevate your presence and attract game-changing opportunities.
