Helping Companies Drive Revenue Through Relationships & Partnerships | Demand Driver | Content Creator | Sales Execution & Community Strategist

Momentum favors the people willing to rethink, move first, and figure it out in motion.

The same is true in the market. Growth begins the moment you stop clinging to what no longer fits.


Markets shift. Buyers evolve. The companies that stay relevant are the ones willing to evolve with them.

My career started in sales, where I learned how companies actually grow. Over time my work expanded across sales, marketing, partnerships, demand generation, and broader GTM leadership.

Working across those functions taught me something important. Most teams share the same goals, they simply approach the market through different lenses.

Sales thinks in pipeline
Marketing thinks in narrative and demand
Product thinks in adoption
Leadership thinks in outcomes

The challenge is rarely effort...it's alignment.

My work sits in that space, connecting teams, ideas, and market signals so direction becomes clear and execution follows.

Growth rarely comes from one function alone. It happens when sales, marketing, partnerships, and ecosystems move together across the market lifecycle.

I think about growth through the bow tie, not just the funnel. Market insight, demand creation, partnerships, community, pipeline, expansion, and long term value reinforcing each other.

I lead with EQ and operate from first principles. When teams trust each other, messaging reflects real conversations in the market, and partnerships and demand generation move together, results become far more durable.

Before all said above- I was a walk-on D1 basketball player at Ole Miss. That truly shaped how I lead today. Earn it, show up ready or not, and prove what you know you are capable of.

What drives me most is much closer to home…my two daughters.

They are the reason I move with intention, choose courage over hesitation, and care deeply about how I show up in the world. I do not want them to hear what might be possible one day. I want them to see it lived.

Because how we show up matters.

Areas I focus on:
• Sales, marketing, and partnership alignment
• Ecosystem and partner led growth
• Demand generation and pipeline creation
• Narrative and campaign strategy tied to market timing
• Cross functional GTM leadership

Speaker - I help leaders create clarity and make fearless decisions | Demystifying Sales and Organization Enablement 📈 | Featured in Find My Catalyst, Autoklose, The Learning Guild | Speaker (NSA) | Golfer ⛳

I help business leaders and their teams FIND Clarity, STOP Second-Guessing the Work They Do, and identify the Next Logical Step so they can take it.

I have been fortunate to work a combination of F100 and high growth tech companies over the past 30+ years as an individual contributor and leader. A combination of coach, enabler, and a leader who knows that legacy is built through developing better leaders. My work is built on a combination of processes, frameworks, methods, tools, & applied thinking.

I understand and appreciate the importance of defining strategy (the How), and turning that into tactics (the What): it's one thing to know what to do, it's another thing to do it, and know what to do next.

Mike has worked at UPS, SmartForce (acquired by SkillSoft), O'Reilly Media, and with clients such as Intel, Microsoft, MIT, the Walt Disney Company, Full Sail University, and a number of early stage startups & entrepreneurs.

At Catalyst, I've developed a methods based on clarity, culture, integrity, and caring. My approach to sales and leadership prioritizes problem-solving and client needs over aggressive tactics.

As an advisor and coach, I cultivate strong organizational cultures and develop effective leaders using proven processes, frameworks, and innovative thinking. My background spans success in tech companies, transition to advisory roles, and implementation of visual strategies (#WhiteboardWednesday).

Known for straightforward (sometimes colorful) communication, I connect deeply with clients to drive meaningful change. My goal-oriented approach, tempered with empathy, empowers business leaders and entrepreneurs to excel professionally and personally.

Outside work, I am a family man, avid golfer, and a NY Jets and Islanders fan.

Let's connect to elevate your business leadership and organizational effectiveness.
