๐Ÿฐ๐˜…-๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ถ๐˜ marketing leader turned Agency/Fractional CMO. I help B2B SaaS founders break growth barriers by deeply knowing the buyer, spotting hidden opportunities, and telling the story that moves markets.

Bio

Iโ€™m a 4x-exit marketing leader with 20+ years building and scaling SaaS and tech companies. Over my career, Iโ€™ve helped drive growth at Newgistics, ESO, RetailMeNot, and other startups through clear positioning, narrative-driven marketing, and disciplined go-to-market execution.

Now, as a Fractional CMO, I work with founders whoโ€™ve hit the growth plateau โ€” when hustle and founder-led marketing stop working. I help them step out of the weeds, clarify their buyer story, and build the marketing infrastructure that unlocks their next stage of growth. My passion is turning complex ideas into simple stories that move markets
