Skills: 👷♂️ GTM Architect – design and launch strategies that drive revenue and scale fast. 🧱 Sales Playbook Builder – MEDDIC, NEPQ, Challenger… I don’t just know them, I deploy them. 📈 Growth Marketing Hacker – blend data, creativity, and speed to cut CAC and grow MRR. 📣 Brand Storyteller – inspired by Jobs and Ive, I turn products into movements. 💰 Deal Closer – from six-figure to seven-figure enterprise contracts. ⚙️ Operator & Builder – thrive in zero-to-one and scale-up stages. Inspired by Jobs and Ive, I bring creativity and precision to growth and brand. My passion is helping founders move from traction to predictable revenue by installing GTM engines that actually work. If you want someone who can both build and execute, I’m the person who makes growth real.
