At Tuft & Needle, I led Conversion as an early employee and scaled the business 30x in three years, fully bootstrapped, from $9M to $250M into the 2018 merger with Serta Simmons Bedding valued at $3B. I built one of the highest-grossing landing pages in DTC history, generating over $100M in cumulative sales, and scaled paid acquisition 500x to $2.5M/mo with unique marketing assets.
Across 26 years I've:
-Generated over $1B online
-Optimized hundreds of millions in ad spend
-Scaled across 50+ verticals in DTC, CPG, SaaS and Ecom
-Been CMO/CRO/CGO 10x+ at early/growth-stage companies
-Earned industry leading pattern recognition
-Built record breaking landing pages, one did $100M+ in sales
-Been in the trenches as Marketer, Operator and Founder
-Provided value at all growth phases (Rain Man @ $1M-$50M)
I scale brands without being a sellout. No fluff. No following the rules or copy & paste playbooks. I operate through the lens of Conversion Architecture™, my proprietary discipline for the full walk a stranger takes to become a customer, and stays one. Every moment, every junction, every if-this-then-what, designed so each step earns the next.
I am not an agency. Not a CRO firm. Not a coach. Not a yes-man, or savior.
I Fix. Blindspots, broken tactics, dead messaging, bloated CAC, lazy strategy. When I work with someone I put my entire career of pattern recognition into one proprietary discipline pointed where your business is hemorrhaging profit into somebody else's pocket. I dedicate my career to unlocking millions in hidden, annualized value for every business I serve.
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 by being over reliant on Meta or with half-baked creative because you’re out of ideas and/or under the gun to meet quota or investor expectations.
OR maybe you aren’t there just yet, so you just need a 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, operators and marketing leaders fix what’s broken, unlock what’s next, and scale what’s working into legit LTV without succumbing to dark patterns and the costly expense of that.
I can help with:
✔️ True conversion and customer journey analysis
✔️ How to turn conversion discipline into enterprise value
✔️ Fresh eyes on your marketing (model, strategy, creative)
✔️ A strategy session or audit to unlock more profit
✔️ Feedback on your offers, landing pages or website
✔️ Product-market fit optimization
✔️ Feedback, testing and tuning
✔️ How to not sell out your vision, values or team
✔️ Leveling up your existing marketing talent bench
✔️ Scaling lean and scrappy and profitably
✔️ How to navigate game of thrones in a liquidity event
✔️ Brand, product, positioning and packaging
✔️ Inside reality vs outside perception alignment
✔️ Marketing psychology and persuasion
✔️ Personal growth that drives insane business results
✔️ Copy & messaging that moves markets
✔️ So much more…
I’ve got a lot to share and I love helping founders, operators and marketers 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.
