Co-Founder

Teemyco

Started out setting up the affiliate and partnership programme — then, as tends to happen in startups, ended up jumping in wherever help was needed. From growth experiments to pricing models to customer conversations, I pitched in across the board.

Lately, I’ve been focused on shaping the product and go-to-market strategy for Teemyco’s AI meeting assistant — making sure it’s solving real problems (not just generating more transcripts no one reads).

Basically: early-stage chaos, structured into momentum.

I’m a generalist — not the fluffy kind, the useful kind.

Over the years I’ve scaled SaaS platforms, built agency systems, run AI product demos, sold six-figure deals, and helped refugee developers land real work. I don’t sit still — I jump in where things need structure, traction, or a reality check.

I helped scale Wurkr from 0 to 50,000 users and $1.2M raised. At Teemyco, I built early partnerships and now help shape an AI meeting assistant people might actually use. At Secret Source, I rebuilt the GTM strategy and pricing model. At Na’amal Agency, I spend a couple of days a week building out delivery systems with refugee tech talent.

What I’m best at: joining the dots, simplifying what’s overcomplicated, and nudging teams from “we should do this” to “we did it, and it worked.”
