Four problems
I solve.

I work with adtech, martech and data vendors at the inflection point — Series A to growth stage, $5M to $150M ARR. Companies that have a real product and need a sharper US strategy, not another deck.

    US Market Entry
    GTM, ops and positioning for international vendors landing in North America.
  2. 02
    Global BD
    Strategic partnerships across holdcos, indies, publishers and platforms.
  3. 03
    Monetization
    Revenue model design — SaaS, DaaS, IaaS, PaaS — built for the next stage.
  4. 04
    Org Design
    High-performance global teams. Hire for character first, scale second.
