Context

  • • 2.5 years from Seed to Series B during a season of significant product developments and a variety of market challenges

  • • When market softened, applied ROI thresholds and optimized toward a 3:1 LTV-to-CAC ratio
  • • Quality of leads consistently improved throughout tenure, with consistent conversion rate improvements at each stage of the customer lifecycle
  • • All growth metrics and campaign examples were cross-functional collaborative efforts between various marketing departments, revenue operations, customer success, sales, and product teams

How I Work

My approach to growth marketing is built on first principles thinking and methods that drive results in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments.

High Ownership

I take full responsibility for outcomes, not just outputs. From strategy to execution, I own the entire growth function and drive results independently.

Bias for Action

I ship fast and iterate. Rather than over-planning, I focus on rapid experimentation and learning from real-world data to optimize continuously.

Direct Communication

Clear, concise, and async-friendly. I communicate transparently with stakeholders and collaborate effectively across remote, distributed teams.

Novel Solutions

I seek creative approaches over busywork. When facing challenges, I look for innovative solutions that drive outsized impact with focused effort.

Ownership by Channel

Comprehensive marketing leadership from strategy to execution across digital channels at a developer-focused data infrastructure startup

Skills & Expertise

Full-stack growth capabilities for developer infrastructure companies. I can own the entire marketing function or focus on specific high-impact initiatives.

Tools & Technologies

Extensive experience with modern marketing technology stack, developer tools, and data infrastructure platforms.

How can I help?

I'm always interested in hearing about new projects and opportunities. Whether you need a full campaign strategy or want to discuss your marketing goals, let's connect.
