AI can build anything, but it can’t diagnose bottlenecks. That’s my job.

I work with high-volume services businesses selling direct to consumers, funded or privately held.

Revenue is outrunning the systems behind it. I find where deals stall, then build the fix.

01 Who I help

Leaders I speak with.

Sales

CROs · VPs of Sales · Sales managers

How do we get from lead to signature?

Sample engagementTake the manual steps out of the deal, from first call to signed contract, and build the dashboard showing where deals stall and why.

Operations

Ops managers · Deal desk · Fulfillment · Field teams

How do we get from signature to install?

Sample engagementBuild the hand-offs: the task chain, the dispatch routing, and the milestone tracking, so nothing drops between sales and the crew.

CEOs

Series A to C · Privately held, up to $100M

How do we build this before we can hire someone to run it?

Sample engagementStand up the sales operation before the first ops hire. I have built an inside sales team's entire infrastructure from nothing, nearly alone: telephony, CRM, lead buying, routing.

04 About

13+ years optimizing sales funnels.

I create leverage by finding bottlenecks in the revenue motion and shipping the systems, process changes, or AI tools that clear them. Across my career I've unlocked faster speed-to-close, more volume through the same headcount, and better margins across the funnel.
