I am a Silicon Valley native whose grit in startups at all stages shaped me into a communicator.I elevate tactical promoters into GTM leaders who guide communication coherently so their team can work without waiting for their input. Having worked in every GTM role from startups to scale-ups, I do this by sourcing from my refined market-mindset, proprietary methods, and extensive access to experts and startup ecosystems.Since 2010, I have helped dozens of companies reconstruct their brand’s messaging that has guided their high-stakes pitches and mass market campaigns to acquire buyers in 80+ countries. Among other milestones, my messaging has guided three Fortune 500 teams to sell two products with billion-dollar revenues, gained entry into Yale’s Innovation Summit, pitched to four billionaires and one Fortune 100 CEO, been endorsed by social media celebrities, and was chosen in 2021 from several thousand applicants as a Top 100 U.S. Marketer. I have presented on branding at events from Silicon Valley to South Korea and co-led over 160 events in Silicon Valley for startups.Ready to finally scale communication?

FounderTerraloop Jul 2023 - PresentAfter B2B startups launch, two chasms grow:“How do we expand from corporate buyers to small buyers, while also delegating down our team?”Without clarity, their GTM teams confront:[1] Confusion with cluttered task lists;[2] Conflict that delays campaign decisions;[3] Chaos with toxic work that fragments teams.This is mainly caused by open-loops and solved with closed-loop communication. It is expected by investors and buyers, worked on by team members, and hinges on founders’ readiness to transform.TerraLoop is a boutique service agency that resolves this by sourcing over a decade of experience and 2 years of exhaustive research that have crystallized into deep expertise.
