About

I bootstrapped a global education startup and sold the business in 2013. The business grew to $2m+ annual sales, 20 staff and B Corp certification under my leadership. I can help you with sales, marketing, people/culture, strategy and exit planning either in a hands-on way or just provide a sounding board.
