Marketing Simplified | Helping Solopreneurs Master Marketing For Business Growth | Posts and articles with actionable insights.

I’m a revenue operations leader with 10+ years of experience designing systems, processes, and operating rhythms that align marketing, sales, and leadership around predictable growth.

My background spans enterprise and founder-led environments, where I’ve partnered cross-functionally to improve execution, visibility, and accountability across the go-to-market motion. I specialize in turning strategy into scalable workflows, defining the right KPIs, and helping teams operate with clarity rather than chaos.

In my current role, I operate as a revenue-adjacent leader for a multi-location organization (7 locations, 200+ employees), aligning marketing, sales, and operations through shared systems, documentation, and performance metrics. I regularly partner with executive leadership on prioritization, process standardization, and organizational execution.

My experience includes:

• Designing go-to-market and revenue-supporting workflows
• Defining and operationalizing KPIs across demand, pipeline, and execution
• Building documentation, playbooks, and operating cadence
• Improving cross-team alignment without relying on hierarchy
• Translating data into actionable insights for leadership

Previously, I founded and operated a consultancy where I owned end-to-end revenue operations, from pricing and intake through delivery, retention, and profitability, while building repeatable systems to scale execution.

I’m most effective in roles where I can:

• Build systems that reduce friction between teams
• Improve revenue predictability through clarity and discipline
• Partner closely with sales, marketing, and leadership
• Lead initiatives that turn strategy into execution

I’m particularly interested in senior revenue operations roles where alignment, systems, and execution quality are critical to growth.
