“In the startup world, growth isn’t just about scaling fast—it’s about building sustainable systems that drive long-term success. Over the past decade, I’ve learned that successful startups don’t just find product-market fit; they master growth-market fit.” With 10+ years of experience in entrepreneurship, GTM, startup acceleration, and economic development, I’ve helped companies build scalable growth engines that deliver measurable results. My focus has expanded to driving innovation and economic growth through customized accelerator programs, empowering governments, universities, and corporations to foster entrepreneurial ecosystems that create jobs, attract investment, and spark sustainable business development. My biggest insight from a decade in this space? Growth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about understanding your audience, leveraging the right data, and executing with clarity and purpose. The future of startup success lies at the intersection of creativity, technology, and relentless experimentation. As Head of Strategic Partnerships & Economic Development at Founder Institute, I lead global initiatives that transform how our startup accelerators operate across diverse markets, working closely with partners to deliver high-impact, tailored programs. At Growth Rhino, I specialize in building outbound sales systems and refining GTM strategies for SaaS companies. Our work has helped startups generate millions in revenue by focusing on precision, personalization, and scalable growth tactics.
