Ian L.

Fractional Head of Growth | Scaling Revenue via Full-Funnel Paid Media, Technical SEO & GTM Strategy

I am a Fractional Growth Lead who bridges the gap between high-level GTM strategy and technical execution.

With experience managing multi-million dollar annualized budgets and leading cross-functional squads, I help companies move beyond "top-of-funnel" vanity metrics to optimize for pipeline velocity, LTV, and strict unit economics.
