Chief Revenue Officer at Redfish Technology, where I lead with empathy, strategic insight, and a commitment to building strong relationships. 

As Viola Davis once said, "My dreams are bigger than my fears."

Our Work

Helped a new VP of Sales at an Enterprise AI Client hire the first 3 members of his Sales Team: Our team consulted with the VP to identify the profiles he needed, researched and built a list of target companies to source from, then reached out nationwide to over 350 AEs in our network, interviewed/screened over 70, submitted 30 to the VP for review, and he hired 3 - saving 100’s of man-hours in the process.

We've built out and engineering teams with the top 30 startups across the country.

Placed Director of Growth at a Fintech Startup: After hiring the Director of Growth, we were asked if we could help with two PM roles, they were struggling with filling. We did so in about 5 weeks for both a Platform PM and Mobile PM. This led to an introduction to their Design team, where we have helped them hire 3 Sr. Product Designers.

If you’re vetting a technical recruiting agency, here’s a question you should absolutely ask:

“How often do you train your recruiters on technology?”

Not on sales.
Not on closing.
On actual technology.

Because if your recruiter doesn’t understand what a vector database is... how are they evaluating an AI engineer?

At Redfish, we take this seriously.

Our Principal Recruiter, William Brewer, trains our team twice a month on real technical topics — not surface-level buzzwords.


Today we broke down:

* How embeddings work
* Why vector search matters for AI-native products
* When companies need Pinecone vs. pgvector vs. custom infra
* What signals to listen for in a candidate’s experience

If your recruiting partner can’t intelligently ask about RAG pipelines, embeddings, DSP, LLM orchestration, or distributed systems...

You’re not getting a true technical filter.
You’re getting keyword matching.

And in today’s market, that’s not enough.

If you’re paying attention to standout startups right now, StoreEase is one of them. It’s been one of the most impressive teams we’ve recruited for.

Founder & CEO StoreEase Virtual Management

I recently traveled to San Francisco to visit with the StoreEase Engineering team. Every billboard is about AI. Every conversation is about what's next and where it's going?

This team is developing the most advanced applied AI in the self-storage industry. Embedding intelligence directly into our workflows, hardware, and software to enhance operations and create a fundamentally better customer experience at scale. 

The Bay Area may have the most restaurants per capita, but it also has the highest concentration of engineering talent in the world. Grateful to experience both. 

Excited to continue to watch this team build.

Most companies aren’t bad at hiring Product Managers.

They’re bad at defining them.

There’s a huge difference between:
• 0→1 builders
• Growth optimizers
• Platform architects
• Roadmap coordinators

If you don’t calibrate that upfront, you’ll interview 15 “strong” candidates and still feel stuck.

Product hiring breaks down when:
– The mandate isn’t clear
– Success isn’t defined
– Stakeholder complexity is underestimated
– “Strategic” and “technical” get used interchangeably

The best PMs are elite problem framers.

They create clarity, drive alignment, and ship under ambiguity.

When we recruit for Product roles, we don’t start with resumes.
We start with calibration:
What does winning look like in 12 months?
Where has this role failed before?
Is this a builder or a scaler?

That clarity changes everything.

I help founders and business leaders get seen, heard, and chosen—without selling their soul or performing on LinkedIn 24/7.

After 20+ years turning real-world experience into high-performing marketing systems, I built Conceptiv to do one thing: make authority effortless.

We turn conversations into content, credibility, and clients.

💥 AuthorityBoost Engine — turns strategic conversations into authority that attracts the right people. No shouting, no endless posting.

🚀 LeadBoost Blueprint — gets your dream clients in the (virtual) room and raises their hand. We handle everything from targeting to follow-up.

Our clients typically see:
→ 3–5x more qualified leads in 60 days
→ Faster, trust-first sales cycles
→ Authority that drives sales—not just likes

Before Conceptiv, I cut my teeth hand-coding sites during the dot-com boom and spent years leading creative strategy for brands like Sony, PwC, eBay, Diageo, and Papa Johns. I’ve built podcast networks, launched eComm brands, and helped founders turn ideas into empires.

My belief is simple:
Marketing should build relationships, not rely on gimmicks.
And the right system makes that effortless.

If you’re done blending in—let’s talk.

Two days ago I opened the terminal for the first time.

48 hours later I've written a book, built live dashboards, and created a virtual assistant I can text from my phone. Stuff that used to need a whole team. Done. In my pyjamas.

I wrote about it. Because it's 3pm on a Saturday and I'm still in bed and I regret nothing.

AI was supposed to give us more time.

I'm prompting at 3am most nights now. So I went and looked up whether anyone else is doing this.

Turns out it's a whole thing. They've named it and everything.

It's 3am. I'm in bed. Laptop open. I told myself I'd just check one thing. One quick prompt. That was two hours ago. I do this most nights now. I fini
