Sales and Marketing Manager

I work with brands—especially startups and growing teams—to simplify the complex. Whether it’s AI, CRM, ecommerce, or all three tangled together, I help teams connect their systems so they actually work—for the people using them and the customers they’re built to serve.

Over the last decade, I’ve launched my own DTC business, led ecommerce campaigns for global brands, and helped scale operations for startups in SaaS, music, retail, and logistics. Along the way, I’ve learned how to turn messy systems into clean workflows, align cross-functional teams, and integrate smarter tools that drive sales without burning out your team.

These days, I’m focused on helping early-stage and scaling companies bring AI into their sales systems—without the buzzwords or bloat. Just clear strategy, connected platforms, and operations that hum.

Let’s connect if you’re:
🔹 A startup founder or operator juggling disconnected tools
🔹 Curious how AI can make your sales ops and CRM smarter
🔹 Looking for someone who speaks both strategy and systems

Always open to chat.
