Engineering Consultant

I am an enterprise growth leader, engineer, and startup advisor.

I pivoted from Civil Engineering to Sales Leadership and have built multiple Enterprise Account Management and Customer Success teams for hyper-growth SaaS and marketplace startups. I have led various teams of 25-50 people that generated more than $500MM in revenue over the last 15 years.

In my spare time, I love to educate curious Bitcoin newbies on the fundamentals of blockchain. I believe Bitcoin is the most important innovation of my lifetime and am on a mission to onboard the next 100,000 users.

My mission is to be the Swiss-Army Knife to your business:

My portfolio:

→ I advise early-stage companies on how to strategically scale their sales team
→ I am a 2X Enterprise Sales leader for hyper-growth companies
→ I've built 2 digital products 
→ I have a 1:1 coaching business

Outside of work, I love to spend time with my wife, travel, hike, podcast, read, cook, drink kombucha, listen to music, and tinker with new ideas.

PS: Ask me about how I ensured SoftBank backstops WeWork back in 2019.
