Insurtech companies need a predictable and scalable sales and marketing engine to hit growth milestones, meet investor expectations, and deliver consistent ROI. 

Standing in their way is the Growth Gap, a barrier fueled by misalignment, fragmented strategies, and uncertainty.

At Flashgrowth, we help Insurtechs overcome the Growth Gap. We identify barriers, design clear strategies, and execute hands-on to accelerate results. 

Insurance is all we focus on, and we have built a reputation as the go-to partner for Insurtech growth.

When the Growth Gap wins, execution stalls, capital dries up, and growth goals are missed. But when you defeat the Growth Gap, growth becomes measurable, scalable, and aligned. 

You gain confidence, focus, and market leadership.

Move from frustrated and reactive to focused and scaling predictably.

Helping Founders grow better, faster, smarter at their speed of startup

Growing up in the heart of the energy industry, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of innovation. My parents owned and operated a 24-hour truck stop and restaurant in NE Oklahoma when self-service changed, fueling Tulsa, the original Oil Capital of the World, through the 1970s. We endured and evolved through changing economic demands.

By 2023, Oklahoma ranked third in the USA in electricity generation from wind, which supplied 42% of the state’s electricity generation. Wind accounts for 94% of Oklahoma’s total renewable generation. Wind energy isn’t just “Dust Bowl” and “Red State” possible: it’s profitable and sustainable. 

As a 3rd generation Okie and seasoned organization leader, I'm committed to driving the Oceantic Network’s growth and success. I help my colleagues and renewable industry stakeholders navigate complex business environments, implement innovative strategies, and foster high-performing teams.

Here’s what I am passionate about at the Oceantic Network:

* Strategic Planning and Execution: Developing and executing strategies and plans aligned with the Network's mission + vision to inform, coordinate, and mobilize the energy industry.
* Operational Excellence: Optimizing business processes, improving efficiency, and reducing costs to accelerate the transition to clean energy.
* Team Leadership: Building and mentoring high-performing teams, fostering a culture of innovation, and empowering stakeholders to create economic opportunities.
* Change Management: Leading organizational change initiatives and mitigating risks to adapt to the evolving offshore energy landscape.

Let's connect to explore how we can shape the future together and accelerate the transition to clean energy in our lifetimes. 

How can you help?
