I’ve been a founder for most of my adult life, from glass-walled boardrooms in New York and Pali Alto to coffee-stained coworking tables in Kosovo and Delhi. Not because I planned it that way, but because I could never quite shake the pull of building something from nothing.

In my early years, I chased growth at all costs. The pace was relentless, the stakes high, and the wins… like realizing a bottled-up vice for the first time. You knew it was staying with you, for better or worse. I built and exited multiple companies, including two at nine-figure valuations.

It looked great on the outside, but inside? I was riding a bull that was kicking my ass.

Building a company is like taking off in a plane you’re still bolting together mid-air. The only goal at first? Get enough distance between you and the ground so when shit goes wrong … and it will … you’ve got time to respond before the ground rushes up to meet you.

If you’re not intentional, that ground gets closer a lot faster than you think.

That realization changed everything.

Today, I’m still building, but on my terms. I help founders scale with freedom: keeping their vision intact, owning their time, and leading teams built on trust and durable systems, not constant fire drills.

I do that through:

-> Evergreen Mountain Equity Partners — investing in and advising values-aligned companies.

-> Outsorcy — an AI-first, decentralized talent platform helping companies scale global teams smarter.

-> Scaling Across Borders — a docuseries capturing the unfiltered stories of entrepreneurs building in overlooked markets worldwide.

-> My book, The Adaptive Innovator — a playbook for leading with clarity and adaptability in an unpredictable world.

I post founder-to-founder insights here daily … from scaling a remote team across time zones to navigating your first big exit … so follow along if you want the real playbook, not the highlight reel.

The world’s best founders aren’t all in Silicon Valley … and I’m here to prove it.

Today marks 18 years of independence for Kosovo. 🇽🇰

When I first started filming Scaling Across Borders here, people asked me: "Why Kosovo?"

My answer was always the same: Resilience is the ultimate competitive advantage.

And that is exactly what Jeta Xharra shows us in this sequence from Episode 1. As a fearless journalist preserving Kosovo’s truth through her Museum of Resistance, Jeta reminds us that this is a nation that didn’t wait for permission to join the global stage. They built their own door out of the very history she protects.

Happy 18th Independence Day to the people who redefined my understanding of growth. You aren't just building a country. You’re building a blueprint for the future of global work.

The world is finally watching. And they like what they see.

To the founders and creators I’ve met on this journey, thank you for letting me tell your story.

From the Balkans to the Baltics, join us as we explore the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Estonia for Season 2 of Scaling Across Borders.

After the conversations, insights, and founder stories from Season 1, we’re continuing the journey in one of the most advanced digital economies in the world. A country known for building global companies, bold founders, and systems designed for scale.

This season is about learning directly from the people building in one of the most forward-thinking innovation hubs in Europe.

New conversations.
New founders.
New perspectives on building globally.

If you know a founder, leader, or operator in Estonia who should be featured in Season 2, or if that person is you, find the details of application in the comments.

The "hero founder" model is collapsing.

For a long time, we’ve been told the only way to build a company is to be the martyr. The one who works 100 hours a week, manages every micro-task, and burns out by year three. 

We called it "the hustle," but it’s actually a trap. 
It’s the death of the traditional founder.

The future belongs to the Sovereign Founder.

A Sovereign Founder doesn't measure success by how many hours they spend in the trenches, but by the strength of the systems they build. 

This shift is driven by network-powered leadership. In the old world, you built a kingdom with walls. In the new world, you build a node in a network. 

You don’t need to own every resource, you just need the vision to connect them. Your value is your ability to leverage the right people at the right time.

The engine behind this is global teams. 
The Sovereign Founder hires based on talent and resilience. By leveraging decentralized teams, they get high-performing talent, 24/7 operations, and massive cost efficiency.

It’s time to move toward a model where your business scales because of your leadership, not in spite of it.

I used to think that being everywhere at once was the only way to scale.

I was in every Slack channel, every meeting, and every minor decision.

"He who is everywhere is nowhere"

If your attention is spread across a hundred different "priorities," you aren't actually leading, you’re just drifting.

This Monday, I’m choosing to be "nowhere" for the small stuff so I can be fully present for the big moves. 

Where are you over-extending yourself this week?

Being a founder is the loneliest job in the world...until it isn’t.

Early on, it was just me and a laptop. 
Every win felt small because I had no one to share it with. 
Every loss felt like a mountain because I had no one to help carry it.

Today, my perspective has completely shifted. 

I’m looking at our Ambassador Program and realizing how my network has become a community of builders helping each other win, and that's what this program is about.

It’s a way to reward the founders and operators who are already out there helping their peers find better talent. And if you really want to know how this works, join the webinar I am hosting on March 26th.

Save your spot here and let's built together: https://lnkd.in/eM3sP3ny

I’ve seen it happen dozens of times. 

A founder friend tells you they’re drowning in hiring costs or can’t find a reliable developer, and you point them toward a solution because that’s just what we do as builders. You provide the value, they get the talent, and the cycle continues.

But at Outsorcy, we realized there was a way to actually reward that trust.

The Ambassador Program was built for people like you...founders and operators who have spent years building a reputation and a network. 

When you make a warm intro to us, you're opening a door to a model that has helped companies scale while saving hundreds of thousands in overhead.

Now you have the chance to see how this works for yourself.

On March 26th, me and Jim Trimarco are hosting a webinar to walk through the exact mechanics of how one simple email introduction can turn into a consistent, four-figure monthly income for you.

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually monetize your network without feeling like a salesperson, this conversation is for you.

Save a spot and let’s talk about it.

Senior Account Manager

I took a consultative approach to drive customer success and loyalty.

Here’s how I did it  ↓

I learned just how crucial relationship management is in sales.

It’s not just about closing deals, but developing meaningful connections with key stakeholders.

At the heart of this approach is understanding the client’s needs and pain points.

Here are a few things that made this strategy successful:

→ Discovery sessions

✅ Leading discovery sessions with prospective clients was key. This involved carefully identifying their needs and pain points.

By understanding these, I offered tailored solutions that deliver measurable business value.

→ Nurturing existing accounts

✅ Proactively identified low-usage accounts and engaged customers in strategic discussions.

This helped in understanding their challenges and opportunities for improvement, driving adoption and usage.

→ Tailored solutions

✅ Offered personalised guidance and support to minimize churn rates and ensure long-term client satisfaction.

By consistently delivering on commitments and exceeding expectations, I built a reputation as a trusted advisor and partner.

I’ve used this approach throughout my career to consistently achieve sales targets.

The ability to forge strong relationships with key stakeholders and align them with the solutions provided is invaluable.

Junior Account Manager

The best roles don't go to the most experienced people.

The best roles go to the most passionate.

My journey with Apple began in retail support.

I started as an Assistant and Coordinator. 

I learned

✅ To deliver exceptional customer service and manage operations. 

This role helped me understand Apple's products and services deeply. I also honed my skills in supporting both customers and colleagues.

Driven by a love for technology, I moved to Apple's Technical team in London. 

Here, I 

✅ Used my technical skills to solve complex problems. 

✅I provided advanced troubleshooting and innovative solutions. 

My goal was always customer satisfaction. I made sure every interaction was positive and transformative.

Working at Apple taught me a lot.

I appreciate the company's commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer focus. 

I thrive in fast-paced environments. I embrace opportunities to learn and grow. Technology is always changing, and I love keeping up with it.

Various Roles

🔒 Cybersecurity Expert & IT Managed Services Consultant | 🛡️ Safeguarding UK Businesses Against Cyber Threats | 🌐 Advanced Solutions in Cyber Protection & Risk Management

I am a sales coach with 15 years of experience. 

I know how hard sales can be. 

Many salespeople face problems that lower confidence. 

Rejection hurts, and targets that are too high create stress. 

A busy work schedule leaves little time for life outside work. 

Micromanagement limits freedom, and too many small tasks take away from real selling.

I have seen these issues up close. Quick fixes like too much caffeine or blaming others do not work. I believe in a work place where you can ask for help, learn new skills, set fair goals, and have time for yourself.

I use my own experience in sales and learning from poor leadership to help others fix these problems. I work with you to find clear ways to boost your confidence and bring back the joy of selling. 

Let us work together to bring the spark back to your career.

Most businesses need strong IT solutions.

Many firms struggle to align their technology with their needs.
