Founder, investor, operator

I’m a 3x SaaS founder with three successful exits. You can see the companies and the numbers on my work page.

After building and exiting my own companies, I moved into private equity, where I led a portfolio of 20+ SaaS businesses. As Portfolio Director, I partnered with CEOs and leadership teams on P&L performance, growth strategy, operations, team building, and execution, helping companies improve profitability, scale, and position themselves for acquisition.

Today, as Chief Growth Officer at MemberSpace, I help lead a B2B SaaS business serving creators, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. I own revenue growth and P&L strategy, and work across product, marketing, engineering, and customer success to drive acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization while building scalable systems and high-performing teams.

Building with AI

I’m deeply focused on how AI changes the way software businesses are built and scaled. I build AI-powered products that analyze businesses and websites, turn complex data into clear recommendations, and automate work that used to be manual. I also use AI across product development, marketing, operations, and decision-making to help teams move faster.

What energizes me

Building and scaling software businesses: developing great products, building high-performing teams, creating sustainable growth engines, and turning ambitious ideas into durable, profitable companies. If that’s what you need, I also work with companies as a SaaS growth consultant.
