GTM & Growth Engineer · 2× Acquired Founder
I build the acquisition systems behind growth.
I build the acquisition infrastructure that turns marketing spend into measurable outcomes — attribution, CRM instrumentation, activation, and the operating rhythms behind them. I've built three companies before the market was ready; two became acquisitions, by Yahoo and Constant Contact.

About
Who you'd be working with.
I operate at the intersection of growth, product, and technical infrastructure — and I can move from strategy to implementation without a dependency chain. My edge is technical depth paired with commercial discipline: I can own acquisition, attribution, CRM instrumentation, and activation, and build the teams that make them scale.
I've built three companies before the market was ready for them — internet mapping before Google Maps, ridesharing before Uber, AI-powered lead capture before it was a category. Two became acquisitions, by Yahoo and Constant Contact.
Right now I'm building Activate in public while exploring my next operating role — VP Growth, VP Acquisition, or Senior Director at a SaaS or AI company where acquisition and activation systems need to be built, rebuilt, or scaled. If that's you, let's talk.
What I bring
- 2× acquired founder (Yahoo, Constant Contact)
- 74% CAC reduction in 10 weeks at Constant Contact
- Scaled an AI product to 43K+ accounts across 4 markets
- Full-stack operator — growth, product & engineering
