Growth Marketing Manager // Maker of 💪 TheBootstrappedWay.com // Bootstrapping VC-backed startups 🚀

I help B2B tech startups, scale-ups, and VC-backed companies turn paid acquisition into a scalable, high-ROI growth engine - without wasted spend or broken funnels.

Here’s how I help my clients win:
✅ Turn paid media into a scalable acquisition channel (LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads & beyond)
✅ Increase conversion rates & pipeline efficiency – get 30-50% more revenue from the same traffic
✅ Optimize messaging & positioning – making sure your ICP instantly gets your value prop
✅ Plan & execute ad spend from $10K to $25K+ per month with a clear path to ROI
✅ Help VCs ensure their portfolio companies scale efficiently - without burning capital on bad ads.

I specialize in LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads, and full-funnel paid media strategies for companies spending at least $10K/month on ads - and I don’t do agency fluff. You work directly with an expert, not a junior account manager.

Whether you’re a founder, CMO, or investor, if you need a growth expert who understands how to spend efficiently and scale profitably, let’s connect.
