I lead marketing and growth for software companies in their next phase of scale. Executive, operator, and unusually hands-on with where AI actually earns its keep.
I'm a growth and marketing executive with 30 years in B2B SaaS. I've led marketing in-house, run my own consulting practice, and built companies, building and mentoring teams and owning the numbers the whole way.
But here's what actually gets me out of bed right now.
For most of my career, the best ideas died in a queue. Swinging for the fences meant begging for developer time, design resources, and budget, and by the time anything shipped, it was already stale. I once spent months building an ROI calculator that was out of date the day it went live. The real constraint was never imagination. It was the cost and time of building the thing.
That constraint is gone.
Today, if I want an email-headline generator tuned to a specific persona, industry, and promotion, I build it in an afternoon. The dependencies that used to gate marketers, IT, developers, designers, are disappearing. For the first time, if it's in your head, it's reasonable to think you can bring it into the world.
And this isn't only about marketing. Every corner of a business is shedding these old constraints, and that should excite all of us. But AI still needs direction. It needs someone who knows which ideas are worth chasing and which are dead ends, someone with the scar tissue to tell the difference. That's where I come in. I've done just about everything, the right way and the wrong way, and that hard-won judgment is exactly what turns a powerful tool into real results. I'm the bridge between what's already been proven and what's newly possible. Put AI in capable hands and it helps. Put it in experienced ones and you get something greater than the sum of its parts. That's the part I can't wait to explore.
The clearest proof of what I mean by hands-on AI. A few of the products and tools I've shipped, and what they did for the business.
This is the clearest example of what I mean. A couple of years ago, building an entire platform to power a new go-to-market motion would have taken a team, a budget, and time that I didn't have. I built it in weeks, at almost no additional cost, and it became its own company.
Instasite scrapes a prospect's existing website, understands their business, and generates a complete AI redesign of their homepage automatically. That unlocked a go-to-market strategy that simply wasn't feasible before: reach out to a builder with a real, live preview of their redesigned site already built, and let "Free Homepage Redesign" become the hook for every ad and cold email.
~2x customer acquisition, at roughly half the CACBuilders already spend real money driving traffic. One of the highest-return moves is making sure that traffic actually converts, and the best way to do that is to give visitors genuine value right there on the page.
So I built a tool that does it: a homeowner uploads a photo of their backyard, sees an AI rendering of their dream pool, and requests an instant estimate. A couple of years ago, coding this would have been out of reach. Now the distance between the idea and the working tool is almost nothing.
~38% lift in conversions, early results across pilot clientsInstead of paying for tools that almost do what I need, I now just build the ones that do exactly what I need.
Bulk-convert HEIC, HEIF, and AVIF files, resize them, and compress to under 50KB as WebP, all in one pass. That used to take three tools and real time. This one saves my team hours a week.
Try it live →Plenty of responsive-preview tools exist, and it's a high-leverage task that used to cost my team hundreds a month. What I love about Screensize Studio is that it does exactly what I want, nothing I don't, and it's practically free.
Try it live →Founded and built an AI-native website and lead-capture product for pool builders, spun out to the edge of the Poologics business. Owner of the model end to end: product, go-to-market, delivery, and the AI systems underneath.
Co-owned and ran a bootstrapped pool-industry SaaS, leading it day to day across marketing, product, and operations. Built the demand-gen engine and HubSpot backbone, set the product roadmap, ran hiring and the P&L, and generated the qualified pipeline that funded the business.
My consulting practice, where I've helped dozens of B2B SaaS startups and growth-stage companies build marketing engines that actually work: strategy, demand gen, and getting sales and marketing aligned around a single number. Today the focus is fractional and advisory work at the intersection of growth and AI.
Building and mentoring teams, setting strategy, and owning the number. Leading the function, not just running the plays.
Paid, content, SEO, ABM, and email, with the marketing-ops backbone underneath to make it measurable.
Roadmaps, requirements, and positioning tied directly to how the company actually goes to market and sells.
Finding where AI genuinely moves the needle across the funnel and the delivery model, and where it's just noise.
Internal systems, hiring, and the business sense to understand how every marketing decision ripples across the org.
Bootstrapped operator's bias for shipping. Comfortable with ambiguity, allergic to work that doesn't drive results.
Leadership doesn't grow in isolation. These are the communities where I keep learning, stay honest with myself, and surround myself with people building things that matter.
