Ex-M&A Banker Turned Tech Growth Exec. Team-oriented leader with 20+ years of experience spanning strategy, business development, partnerships, sales leadership and special projects. I cut my teeth with spreadsheets and high finance, but since becoming an operator in technology, I have developed deep knowledge of product led growth (PLG) SaaS, cloud infrastructure, network & application security, SASE, Machine Learning / AI, and other tangential technologies. In various roles driving revenue, I've successfully recruited and led large teams, developed new product go-to-market, expanded sales efforts into new regions and market segments, structured complex sales and partnership agreements, developed new processes and operating structures, driven highly effective programs and executed M&A transactions (from the buy-side and sell -side). I've seen the full spectrum of startup growth in working at two of the fastest growing SaaS companies in the last decade, witnessing a company journey from less than 75 people to IPO and a $1B revenue run rate, to companies that couldn't "cross the chasm". Every stage of a startups revenue growth has its own set of obstacles, and it's been a thrill to overcome these challenges with my teams over the years.Ambitious by nature, I love to take on difficult problems and employ a process-driven approach to executing them effectively. I thrive in ambiguity and love creating simplicity out of complexity. I'm a second generation entrepreneur and have taken ideas from concept to thousands in revenue, utilizing LEAN principles and bootstrapped growth tactics to develop products from scratch, find product-market fit, capture initial customers, drive successful launches, and execute effective marketing campaigns. I've sold two successful projects including an eCommerce store (Re/Up Supply Co) and a mobile app (Earthjoy). Father of 2. Tennis player. DJ. Deep work and performance junkie.
