Founder, 2x exits, 3x flops — Scaleup operator for CEOs ready to think and do different | ex-Fortune 50 | Ex-SpecOps | Dad x4 | SoberLife

You’ve proven you can build.
$1–5M ARR. Customers in market. A team on payroll.

But now the pressure is real:
↓ Revenue still runs through you.
↓ Hires are flying blind.
↓ CRM is a database, not a system.
↓ Investors are asking questions you can’t answer with confidence.

I’ve lived this.
→ 2× SaaS founder with exits
→ Raised millions, scaled GTM and ops to \$10M+ ARR
→ Ex–SpecOps and Fortune 50, no patience for fluff

What I do now:
I partner with impatient CEOs to get them out of sales and install the GTM + RevOps foundation their business can actually scale on.

In about a quarter, we deliver:
✅ Predictable deal flow (validated ICP, messaging, and channels)
✅ Sales enablement (new hires productive from Day 1)
✅ Investor-grade RevOps (dashboards, workflows, operating cadence)

Model: Done-with-you execution leadership. Not an agency. Not a guru. A system your team owns.

Proof:

🚀 Venture-backed payments SaaS → 20+ early adopters closed, \~5 opps/week by Week 10, ≈\$18M outlook, founder out of sales.
🚀 Multiple CEOs retained us post-install to continue as executive partner and fundraising advisor.

If you want to be scale-ready in Q1 ’26, the window is now.

📌 DM me "KPI"  and I’ll send you the <<Scale Ready Step-by-Step>> we use to get boards leaning in.

I quit drinking, but I didn’t quit hiding. 

Sobriety didn’t fix the part of me that was terrified to sell. If anything, it exposed it.

At first. I hid from the phone. 
I hid from sales. 
I hid from anything that forced me to face the parts of myself I didn’t want to look at.
Funny thing is, I still built a million in revenue over the last few years. 

And even with that, I’d stare at the phone like it was a firing squad. 
I’d avoid simple structure. 
I’d overthink basic outreach. 
I’d pretend “strategy” was a replacement for actually talking to people.

It wasn’t.

What finally changed was accepting that discipline beats charisma, and 
simple beats clever. 

I stopped trying to invent some magic formula and instead built a system. 
A system based on fundamentals and fast iteration - innovative.  

I didn’t build a dopamine-chasing content plan. 
Or yet another automated funnel. 
Rather a real operating rhythm for sales.

Then I packaged it up to share with others.  

If you’re a technical founder sitting anywhere <$500K ARR; 
waiting for an agency; or 
a fractional something; 
or a new tool to save you.

🥊 here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Nobody is coming,
Well, at least nobody that’s going to do it for you and you magically succeed.
Your product isn’t broken.
Your market isn’t confused.
You just don’t have a GTM system that forces you to show up every day.

The good news is you don’t need to become a “salesperson.” 
You just need a repeatable structure, clarity on your offer, and the courage to run the reps.
I promise you that’s when the magic happens.. in just days or a few weeks. 

That’s exactly what I help founders build in 30 days.

If you want real momentum going Into 2026 instead of playing catch up in Q1, let’s talk. 📍

Your move.

-----------------------------------
Start in 2, GTM in 5, real deal flow in about 21.

How i’ve turned around founder-led sales

Founder-led sales will collapse for one simple reason: nobody is tracking anything.

My problem in sales was never skill.
It was discipline.

The moment I started using a daily scorecard with founders, everything changed.
There’s nothing mystical about it.
It works because I’m finally paying attention to what matters.

The biggest behavior shift?
Getting shit done.
Hard stop.

The founders I work with show up to the morning huddle knowing I’ll grill on missing numbers.
Every. Single. Morning.
So they get it done.

And >90% start seeing results within 24–48 hours
Then they repeat the process.
Momentum isn’t motivation.
It’s accountability. 👀

And the metrics that actually matter?
Not replies.
Not clicks.
Not open rates.
No vanity metrics.

We track:
-Daily outbound (per channel)
-Meaningful conversations
-Qualifying meetings booked
-Qualifying meetings **held** (the metric that actually predicts intent)
-Sales calls booked
-Proposals sent
-Proposals value
-Closed/Won
-Wins (YTD)
-Wins ($)

The moment founders stop tracking “activity theater” and focus on real commercial motion, pipeline appears.

And the biggest lie I tell myself (and my clients do this all the time):
“I’ll catch up tomorrow.”
Except tomorrow’s 20 calls turn into 40.
Then 60.
Then a black hole they never dig out of.

I let my scorecard become the boss.
Not my mood.
Not my excuses.
Not my calendar.

If you’re tired of having no pipeline and want real momentum going into 2026, let’s talk. 📍

Your move.

-----------------------------------
Start in 2 days, GTM in 5, real deal flow in about 3 weeks.
