I help SaaS and high-growth companies unlock exponential ARR growth by building partner ecosystems, affiliate programs, and GTM systems that scale.

Unlike most leaders who specialize in either sales or partnerships, I bring both:
	•	Closed 7-figure enterprise deals as an AE.
	•	Built partner programs adding $10M–$40M+ ARR.
	•	Designed affiliate systems activating thousands of high-performing partners.

My approach blends direct sales experience with a playbook for recruiting, activating, and scaling partner ecosystems that deliver measurable revenue impact.

Currently applying this GTM playbook inside Instantly.ai, where I’m documenting the journey in real time — frameworks, wins, and lessons that any GTM leader can adapt to scale faster.

What I do best:
	•	Design & scale high-impact partner programs.
	•	Build integrated GTM systems combining affiliates, agencies, integrations, and brand alliances.
	•	Turn real-world results into repeatable, monetizable frameworks.

I also work with select founders, execs, and investors through consulting, advisory, and JV opportunities — helping them structure partnerships that multiply revenue and create leverage.

📌 Core Competencies:
• Partnership & Affiliate Revenue Growth
• GTM Architecture & Execution
• Enterprise Sales & Negotiation
• Strategic Alliances & Integrations
• Business Process Optimization
• Leadership & Coaching High-Growth Teams

If you’re building a partner-sourced GTM function and want to scale faster, let’s connect.
