“Empower talent with autonomy, then hold them accountable to results.”

Backstory

My leadership approach was forged by the intersection of a Bachelor’s in Corporate Finance and the creative demands of co-founding a full-stack agency. This unique blend of analytical rigor and marketing strategy taught me that sustainable growth requires more than just good ideas—it requires operational precision. This is why I have a visceral allergy to micromanagement; I refuse to compromise on the belief that true high-performance is achieved only when talent is given the tools to excel and the autonomy to own their outcomes. That philosophy is my superpower: identifying what people do best and building the infrastructure that allows them to do it.

On the Lookout For

I am energized by the challenge of taking a company’s potential and operationalizing it into a dominant market position. I thrive on architecting go-to-market (GTM) programs for both startups and enterprise clients, turning chaotic ambitions into streamlined, revenue-generating engines. I drive value by maintaining a relentless focus on goals and outcomes, ensuring that creative strategy is always tethered to financial reality. A world-class result for me is a high-performing team that operates with clarity, accountability, and the agility to scale without breaking.

The Blueprint

• Education: BS in Corporate Finance; Marketing Training — A dual foundation that allows me to bridge the gap between hard financial logic and creative market strategy.

• Experience: Co-Founder since 2019

• Career Highlights: Architected Productive Shop into a recognized leader in GTM programs, successfully scaling operations for both early-stage startups and complex enterprise clients.
