Helping Companies Drive Revenue Through Relationships & Partnerships | Demand Driver | Content Creator | Sales Execution & Community Strategist

Growth starts with unlearning what no longer serves.



I move with principles, not permission, because building momentum beats waiting for a green light.

Sales is where I started and where I built the foundation I still lean on today. I’ve sold both product and service, worked across SaaS and tech, and landed in roles that naturally sit between sales, marketing, GTM, and partnerships. Not by job title…but by instinct.

I founded The Revenue Table to bring that mindset into motion. A space where connection leads to growth, ideas become execution, and trusted relationships drive results. It’s never been about doing things the “right” way- it’s about doing what works right now.

I’m at my best when I’m building strategy that becomes action. Helping teams meet the market where it is, not where it used to be. When messaging connects to both the top and bottom line, and campaigns, communities + partner ecosystems move together to create real pipeline.

Partnerships have always been part of how I operate. I live at the intersection of people and opportunity. I build trust quickly, stay close to the ground, and bring the right people together to move things forward.

I’ve supported startups + global orgs with outbound campaigns, nearbound strategy, and demand plays that get seen, heard, and remembered. It’s not about being everywhere- it’s about showing up where it counts, with clarity and intention.

Highly competitive against myself, I was a walk on D1 basketball player at Ole Miss. That experience shaped how I lead: earn it, show up fully, and finish what you start. That mindset still drives how I move.

What keeps me grounded? My two daughters. They are my why. I don’t want them to hear what I might do, I want them to see what it looks like to lead with intention and choosing action over inaction every time. 

What I specialize in:
• GTM strategies: idea → execution
• Messaging that creates clarity + movement
• Campaigns tied to timing, intent + conversion
• Community and partner-led demand
• Sales <> marketing alignment built on trust
• Outbound + nearbound motion with relevance
• Content + event plays that create engagement
• Relationship-first growth that scales

I lead with EQ and back it with execution…long term growth starts with how you show up.

Most life changes don’t happen because someone finally has clarity…
They happen because someone finally has the capacity (or opportunity).

Most people aren’t procrastinating-
They’re protecting what little energy they have left.

For a lot of us, growth doesn’t stall because the desire disappears-
It stalls because timing feels unforgiving.

Careers demand more…
Families need more…
Mental load compounds quietly…

So, progress gets postponed.

Not dramatically-
Logically. 

Listen to this:
More than one in three college students have considered stepping away from their degree

Why? -> Emotional stress is one of the biggest reasons.

Not lack of intelligence.
Not lack of discipline.
But, capacity.

That’s why I pay attention to partners who understand that forward motion doesn’t have to be loud to be real…

National University is built for learners who are balancing ambition with real life, which is why I’m a proud partner of theirs too. 

1/ Flexible 4 and 8 week online courses
2/ Monthly admissions
3/ Support that recognizes you’re a whole human, not just a student

And…
Right now? = they are offering 
The ‘Year of You’ scholarship which grants recipients  up to $6,000 annually toward a bachelor’s or master’s degree. (Huge)


If this year feels less about reinventing yourself
and more about choosing something that actually fits your life

80% of outbound messages fail for one reason: bad timing.

Not copy.
Not volume.

➡️ Timing.

Most outbound today feels busy, expensive, and invisible-

Here’s the shift that changes how modern teams think about meetings, pipeline, and outbound that actually works…


You don’t need more volume.
You don’t need more steps.


You don’t need bigger lists just to get ignored.

Instead, stop guessing and start waiting for intent.

Not ‘vibes’…
Not “they seem like a fit”

Actual buying behavior.

-Someone viewed your LinkedIn profile
-Engaged with a relevant post
-Visited key pages on your site
-Started comparing vendors
-Changed roles or joined a scaling team

That’s when outreach stops feeling like spam.

Because timing turns messages into conversations- 

Here’s what runs behind the scenes in an intent-led workflow…

A signal gets captured instantly:

-Their info gets enriched automatically (email, phone, role)
-The account gets scored based on fit + activity
-The best channel gets selected (email, LinkedIn, phone)
-A contextual message goes out while the signal is still warm

No tab hoarding, if you will…
No list-building maddening marathons…
No “I hope this lands” ridiculous energy…

Just relevance → delivered fast.

The lie we were sold is that “more activity equals more pipeline” (big miss) 

This is how high-performing teams quietly operate

Most teams are still stuck in the old game:

1/ more volume

2/ more sequences

3/ more noise

But, buyers upgraded. 

They ignore generic…
They punish irrelevant…
They reward timing…

If your outbound relies on hope, I assure you, it’s already broken-

Intent-led outbound isn’t louder.
It’s sharper, 100%.


Comment “Tool” if you believe timing matters more than volume 👇🏼

Most resolutions fail
not because people can’t
but because they don’t


They say it out loud
They mean it in the moment
Then life asks for follow through

I’ve lived it
Both sides of it.

Doing what I said I would
and trusting others to do the same
only to learn more than once
that proximity doesn’t equal reliability.


That’s where I learned what trust actually is
- not intention
- not closeness
- not words said at the right time

Consistency.

The sad reality?
-> to over promise and under deliver
is so easy for most to do. (Too easy)


Time doesn’t reveal intentions
It reveals patterns
Especially in the people closest to us…
Including me.

I’m not perfect, goes w/o saying

But legit awareness sharpens things
It strips the noise
It turns gray into black + white
It shows you the main thing…
and how often we avoid it.


If you want this year to go differently
don’t say you can
if you already know you won’t- don’t


Say less.
Do the thing.
Let time and actions do the talking.

So be real for a sec…
What are you hoping people
don’t notice you didn’t do
because saying it felt easier than doing it?


(big ps…the realist of real kind trust isn’t announced it’s remembered)

This is truly foundational…

Love seeing such up and to the right disruption (in the very best of ways) that Listen Labs is making happen right now- 

Huge congrats, team! 🙌🏼🥂

One year ago, we were a team of 5 with almost no revenue. Today, we have raised $100,000,000, from Ribbit Capital, Sequoia Capital, Evantic Capital, Conviction, and Pear VC. This is our story.

When Alfred Wahlforss and I worked on our previous startup, we heard this slogan over and over: “write code, listen to users”, that’s how the best companies are built.

Now, with $100B+ invested in AI-coding models, it seems clear that “writing code” will be commoditized sooner rather than later. The differentiation will no longer be your technology, but how well you understand your customer.

Once we realized this in 2023, we became obsessed with helping companies understand their customers. The first 2 years were tough, models were unreliable, customers were skeptical of AI and our value prop unclear.

But everything changed in 2025, we launched key initiatives, won customers and have closed record number of customers every month.

Since then momentum has compounded. We’ve grown revenue 15x in the last 9 months, have reached 8-figures in ARR and have interviewed over 1 million people through Listen.

There was not one magic unlock that made Listen work. It’s been the day-in day-out listening to customer, and making the product 1% better.
Today we help companies like Microsoft, Sweetgreen, Canva and hundreds more better understand their customers.

If you’re excited about helping all companies listen better to their users - and want to work on hard problems with an incredibly talented team - we’d love to hear from you.

Now, back to listening.

Speaker - I help leaders create clarity and make fearless decisions | Demystifying Sales and Organization Enablement 📈 | Featured in Find My Catalyst, Autoklose, The Learning Guild | Speaker (NSA) | Golfer ⛳

I help business leaders and their teams FIND Clarity, STOP Second-Guessing the Work They Do, and identify the Next Logical Step so they can take it.

I have been fortunate to work a combination of F100 and high growth tech companies over the past 30+ years as an individual contributor and leader. A combination of coach, enabler, and a leader who knows that legacy is built through developing better leaders. My work is built on a combination of processes, frameworks, methods, tools, & applied thinking.

I understand and appreciate the importance of defining strategy (the How), and turning that into tactics (the What): it's one thing to know what to do, it's another thing to do it, and know what to do next.

Mike has worked at UPS, SmartForce (acquired by SkillSoft), O'Reilly Media, and with clients such as Intel, Microsoft, MIT, the Walt Disney Company, Full Sail University, and a number of early stage startups & entrepreneurs.

At Catalyst, I've developed a methods based on clarity, culture, integrity, and caring. My approach to sales and leadership prioritizes problem-solving and client needs over aggressive tactics.

As an advisor and coach, I cultivate strong organizational cultures and develop effective leaders using proven processes, frameworks, and innovative thinking. My background spans success in tech companies, transition to advisory roles, and implementation of visual strategies (#WhiteboardWednesday).

Known for straightforward (sometimes colorful) communication, I connect deeply with clients to drive meaningful change. My goal-oriented approach, tempered with empathy, empowers business leaders and entrepreneurs to excel professionally and personally.

Outside work, I am a family man, avid golfer, and a NY Jets and Islanders fan.

Let's connect to elevate your business leadership and organizational effectiveness.
