Serial B2B Founder, Expertise in GTM 0-1+

I'm a current + former founder, specializing in GTM strategies for B2B SaaS businesses. I have built everything from the idea phase to millions in ARR, with a focus on SMB product led and direct to enterprise (Fortune 500).


I can help early founding teams make the transition from founder-led sales, to building that early teams or first hire. I can help set up operations and the foundation to go from pre-seed / seed to A.


I can also assist in interviewing teammates to hire, help draft sales collate…
