Penbrothers

The founders at Penbrothers recently brought me onboard with a special mission: to build a world-class sales team. With our eyes set on a bold growth target, and the backing of Mynavi, one of Japan's HR leaders, momentum's on our side.

Though our roots are in Manila, we embrace the global stage with our remote-first approach. We have a super diverse and entrepreneurial team with ample room to grow. If you're open to considering a new avenue for career growth you should get in touch.

💀 Tough to get customers and investors? I know why | 200+ Startup mentor @500Startups | 2x Founder | Japan nutcase 🇯🇵

I speak to fearless founders every day.
They all struggle with the same 5 things:


ººº FUNDRAISING
Raising funds is really hard and the survival of the company often depends on it.

ººº SALES
Low email and call conversion rates make it incredibly difficult to reach any significant revenue goals.

ººº TEAM PRODUCTIVITY
Difficulty in managing and communicating with people spread across time zones and geographies.

ººº PRODUCT-MARKET FIT
Uncertainty about the market fit of the product, too many pivots and little results.

ººº FOCUS
Drowned in work, grappling with priorities and lack of focus, feeling overwhelm and stress.

As a founder you need to fix these.
For a chance at crossing the Valley of D3ath.

_____

When I mentor founders, I give them a hard time. 
I challenge them. Push them to their limit. 
It's a painful process and it’s not for everyone.
That's often the cost of resurrection.

Serial Entrepreneur & Coach

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about what I do.

I'm a happy father, deliberate optimist, and serial entrepreneur who built a business from day 1 with an initial team of 3 to managing a 400+ person workforce. 

My mission is to help myself and others become purposeful in life and business, live from intention, and step into their true potential. I bring a new perspective that can support learning and growth.

Over the past four years, I have worked with, mentored, and coached over 350 diverse founders and entrepreneurs from various industries and regions. 

I love assisting other leaders in realizing their dreams, performing at higher levels, and finding greater well-being. 

I work with clients on everything from decision-making and career positioning to personal growth and overcoming anxiety.

In addition to mentoring/coaching, I also enjoy purchasing and developing digital assets, which allows me to indulge my love for product creation and project development, keeping the spark of innovation alive in my journey.

My areas of expertise are: 
✔️ Startups & Growth
✔️ Personal Growth
✔️ Product-Market-Fit
✔️ Mental Strength 
✔️ Fundraising
✔️ Product & Business Strategy
✔️ Leadership & Management

💡My 2 cents: If someone tells you "YOU CAN'T," they show you their limits, not yours.
