Chief Growth & Revenue Officer

Makosi

As the former Head of Revenue Operations at Makosi, I specialized in building and scaling effective sales prospecting teams from the ground up. I successfully designed and operationalized go-to-market strategies that have been adopted across global markets. My expertise in Salesforce administration was crucial in driving data-backed business decisions, and I led the effort to migrate disparate systems into a single source of truth for streamlined operations.

I took charge of compensation and sales productivity planning, setting up the sales force for both motivation and efficiency. Serving as the key liaison among the marketing, sales, and client success teams, I ensured that our strategies were aligned and communication was seamless. I also developed comprehensive training materials and videos to maximize the potential of our sales team.

Proficient in a variety of tech stacks including Salesforce, Hubspot, Outreach.io, ZoomInfo, MS Office, and Miro, leveraging these tools to optimize revenue streams and operational efficiencies.

Head of Revenue Operations

SR Consulting

As the Chief Growth Officer at SR Consulting, I laid the groundwork for my subsequent contributions. During my tenure at SR Consulting, I had the opportunity to serve high-profile clients like Viking River Cruises, Neustar, NYU, Valley Bank, and Morgan Stanley. I focused on developing comprehensive growth strategies, leveraging a multi-faceted approach that encompassed everything from sales productivity to client retention.

I acted as a key liaison between marketing, sales, and client success, ensuring seamless communication and alignment across these crucial business functions. This early experience in cross-departmental collaboration set the stage for my later roles, where I built and scaled sales teams, streamlined operations, and implemented data-driven decision-making processes.

Drawing from a strong tech background, including proficiency in Salesforce, Hubspot, Outreach.io, ZoomInfo, MS Office, and Miro, I honed my skills in using technology to optimize revenue streams and operational efficiencies. The hands-on experience I gained at SR Consulting was instrumental in shaping my holistic approach to business growth, which I have since applied to achieve remarkable results.

If you’re considering fractional or independent consulting (or already are one) but need clarity and a scalable plan, this is for you.

The problem isn’t your experience. It’s:

↳ Your positioning
↳ Your sales process
↳ Your market strategy

When I left corporate, I thought my track record alone would bring clients. It didn’t.

I had to build a system that made me the obvious choice, generated inbound demand, and landed premium retainers.

Now, I help corporate professionals transition into fractional leadership AND help existing ones scale.

The Fraction Method™: Your Roadmap to a Predictable Six-Figure Consulting Business

🔹 Position & Differentiate
↳ Define your niche, expertise & unique value
↳ Build a magnetic personal brand that attracts clients
↳ Create an irresistible offer that eliminates price objections

🔹 Build & Sell (Without “Selling”)
↳ Use a proven client acquisition system—no pushy sales tactics
↳ Follow a repeatable process that works—even if you’ve never sold before

🔹 Deliver & Scale
↳ Move beyond feast-and-famine cycles
↳ Transition from one-off projects to high-value retainers

What’s Stopping You?

✔️ “I hate selling.” → Our system eliminates traditional selling. Instead, we position you as the obvious choice so clients come to you.
✔️ “I don’t know where to start.” → We provide a clear, step-by-step roadmap so you always know what to do next.
✔️ “I don’t have a network.” → You don’t need one. Our process attracts clients—even from scratch.
✔️ “I don’t want to leave my job yet.” → You don’t have to. We help you build your business while working full-time.

Who I Work With

✅ Corporate Leaders – You have experience but don’t know how to land clients.
✅ New Fractional Executives – You’ve started but struggle with consistency.
✅ Experienced Consultants – You need predictable revenue, not one-off gigs.

This isn’t theory.

it’s a battle-tested system that works.

Proven Results:

📈 Priya (consultant): $0 → $15K MRR in 90 days
📈 Dean (former VP): First $50K contract in 60 days
📈 Tony (corporate escapee): Scaled to $120K/year as a fractional CMO
📈 Ryan (stuck consultant): Went from sporadic $5K gigs to $20K+ retainers

This isn’t coaching. It’s execution.

4 Signs You Were Meant To Be An Entrepreneur

1️⃣ You see what leadership misses.
While your peers are checking boxes, you're identifying gaps in the system.
You notice the inefficiencies no one else talks about. You connect dots that others don't even know exist.
That instinct isn't a distraction. It's proof you think like an owner, not an employee.

2️⃣ Corporate success feels hollow.
You've climbed the ladder, earned the promotions, collected the bonuses.
But the higher you get, the emptier it feels.
You don't want someone else's vision. You want to build your own.
The structure gave you skills. Now freedom is calling for your focus.

3️⃣ You solve problems that aren't in your job description.
You're the person people come to when things break.
You redesign workflows. You mentor leaders. You fix what others ignore.
That's not overperforming. That's operating at a level your role can't contain.

4️⃣ Security stopped being enough.
You've realized the "safe" path isn't safe anymore.
Layoffs are constant. Ageism is real. AI is coming for the tasks, not the judgment.
You'd rather bet on yourself than wait for a severance package.

Here's what I know:

The best entrepreneurs don't start with passion. They start with pattern recognition.
They've seen enough broken systems to know how to fix them. They've earned enough credibility to be trusted. They've outgrown the roles designed for them.
If you've spent a decade or more mastering your craft, you don't need to start over.
You need to start leveraging what you already built.

AI Is Replacing Jobs, Here’s How to Protect Your Income in 2025 👇

AI has already replaced 20%+ of repetitive white-collar roles and it’s only accelerating.

That’s why fractional work is exploding.
Up 24% last year. Another 28% expected in 2025.
And by 2030, 30% of the workforce will be fractional or consulting.

Smaller companies can’t afford full-time execs anymore…
but they can afford you for a specific outcome.

It protects your income and saves them six figures.
Everybody wins.

If you want the exact steps to become a fractional pro, just comment "FRACTIONAL" below.

AI Isn’t Just Taking Jobs, It’s Rewriting the Job Market.

If AI can replace entire layers of middle management, the only real protection left is becoming irreplaceable.
The people who win in the next decade aren’t the ones with the fanciest résumés, it’s the ones who build a personal brand, showcase their expertise publicly, and make themselves a “one-of-one.”
When the market tightens and competition spikes, visibility becomes leverage. That’s why building a brand today is the ultimate hedge against tomorrow’s automation.

Why Being a Consultant Beats a 9–5 Right Now

During recessions companies don’t stop solving problems , they stop hiring full-time. That’s why demand for consultants spikes (up to 31% in past downturns). Repackage the skills you already have into a fractional service: same expertise, more income, less risk. Work 10 hours for three clients instead of 40 for one, get paid more and never rely on a single paycheck.

175% More Layoffs, Here’s Your Wake-Up Call

153,000 people lost their jobs last month alone.
If you’re still waiting for the “right moment” to work for yourself… this is it.

The shift is already happening: companies are replacing full-time roles with fractional experts who solve problems without needing a salary.

Here’s the real play:
• Turn your job title into a clear outcome companies will pay for
• Charge project or monthly retainers, not hourly employee rates
• Share insights from problems you’ve already solved, visibility creates demand

Your skill set is already valuable. You just have to package it in a way the market can buy.

If Blue Origin Isn’t Safe… Nobody Is

One of the most advanced space companies on the planet just cut 1,400 jobs not because they’re failing, but because work is shifting from R&D to production.
Those roles weren’t “secure”… they were temporary the entire time.
And if those people were working fractionally, they wouldn’t be unemployed, they’d already be on their next project.

#careers #futureofwork #fractionalwork #layoffs #blueorigin #jeffbezos #technews #jobmarket

Corporate “job security” is officially dead.

Amazon, Meta, Blue Origin, all cut 10% of their workforce, and most people still think it’s only entry-level roles getting hit.
But 78% of Amazon’s layoffs were mid-to-senior managers… the exact people who were told they were “safe” if they just climbed the ladder long enough.

The ladder didn’t break.
It moved.
And if you’re not building skills or income streams you own, you’re gambling with your future.

#careeradvice #futureofwork #layoffs2024 #corporatelife #businessnews #fractionalwork #incomeonline

Corporate Layoffs Just Passed 1 Million, Here’s What It Really Means for You

Layoffs are hitting every major industry, tech, logistics, retail and the trend is accelerating.
AI isn’t just replacing entry-level roles anymore; it’s going straight for middle management and high-salary positions.
And with more people competing for fewer full-time roles, the safest thing you can build right now isn’t a resume… it’s a personal brand.
Because in the next 5–10 years, the people who stand out online become the ones companies seek out, not the ones competing in flooded job pools.

Growth via efficiency has always been the name of the game. Now, efficiency gains can be had much more easily.

AI is driving layoffs across every industry, and the next 5–10 years will be even more volatile.

The smartest hedge?
Build a personal brand + shift into fractional or consulting work while you still have control.

Why Fractional Consulting Is Taking Over?

More companies are replacing full-time roles with fractional experts, specialists who work 10–15 hours per client and earn more than they ever did in a 9–5. Instead of competing for fewer corporate jobs, operators are turning their skills into flexible, high-income consulting work. It gives you freedom, stability, and control in a market that’s becoming less predictable every year.
