> Former Head of Conversion at Tuft & Needle. $1B in revenue generated online in over 100 verticals.

I scale brands without being a sellout. No fluff. No following the rules or copy-paste playbooks.

At Tuft & Needle (1st DTC mattress disruptor) I led Conversion as we grew from $10M to $250M+ bootstrapped, profitable, and outpacing VC-backed competition. No hype. Just hard numbers. Early employee to exit/merge with a brand valued at $3B.

In Over 2 Decades of Marketing Online & E-Commerce I’ve:
- Generated $1B+ in revenue
- Led growth in 50+ verticals
- Been CMO/CRO/CGO 10X+ at early/growth-stage companies
- Optimized $170M+ in ad spend
- Gained over 26 years of pattern recognition 
- Built record breaking landing pages - (one did $100M+ in sales)
- Been in the trenches as Founder, and Operator
- Worked on DTC, SaaS, CPG and Ecom brands
- Founded and exited a DTC fractional CMO practice that I grew to 7 figures
- Provided value at all growth phases: startup to exit…$300M+

I’m not a cheerleader or a yes man. Not an agency. Not here to impress your investors. Definitely not the savior. I don’t do big decks and safe ideas. I don’t pitch fantasy. I Fix. The holes, your blindspots, broken tactics, dead messaging, bloated CAC, and lazy strategy. I’m about clarity, authenticity, and getting you results.

I’m who you call when your marketing’s broken and no one’s telling you the truth. 

When you’re bleeding CAC, coasting on founder led growth, or burning cash on “strategy” that doesn’t sell. When you’re selling your brand short with half-baked creative because you’re out of ideas and/or under the gun to meet the pressure cooker of projections and promises. 

OR maybe stakes aren’t that high just yet, so you just need that shot in the arm from someone outside that isn’t jaded or drunk on the kool-aid. 

You’re ready for an injection of growth and you want to strategize on the how with what you’ve already got. 

I help founders and marketing leaders fix what’s broken, unlock what’s next, and scale what’s working without succumbing to scummy tactics or slimy tricks. I can advise and provide value at any stage.

I can help with:
✔️ A fresh set of eyes on your Marketing (model, org, strategy, creative)
✔️ Adjusting, leveraging and scaling in the new AI landscape
✔️ A strategy session or audit to unlock more profit 
✔️ Feedback on your offers, landing pages, or customer journeys
✔️ Product-market fit optimization
✔️ Tracking, testing and tuning
✔️ How to NOT sellout to the incumbent
✔️ Leveling up your existing marketing talent bench
✔️ Scaling lean and scrappy 
✔️ Freelance or agency growth advice
✔️ How to navigate game of thrones in an exit, merge or liquidity event
✔️ Aligning your marketing to your product/deliverables or vice versa
✔️ Packaging, positioning and perception
✔️ Personal development to yield insane business outcomes
✔️ Messaging that moves markets
✔️ So much more…
  
I’ve got a lot to share and I love helping founders, marketers and business owners grow personally and in the marketplace. If your brand’s ready to grow, but not ready to sell its soul, book a call.

Everything I do is based in truth and authenticity. Customer first or die. 

You’ll get brutal clarity, no-BS answers, and help that actually works. Let’s make your next move make profit.
