So, how's growth?

Still debating self-serve vs sales-led?

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
You’ve got a real product. Real customers. Maybe even some top-line momentum. And yet, growth feels fragmented & unpredictable.

You're juggling questions like:

  • Are we scaling the right GTM motion or just amplifying early bets?
  • Is paid growth actually compounding or quietly hiding inefficiencies?
  • Where should the next marketing dollar go to move the needle?
At this stage, guessing gets expensive.
I help turn GTM ambiguity into clear, testable decisions - using data, focused experiments, and hands-on execution.

Growth rarely breaks overnight,
it erodes quietly.

Most early-stage teams don't lose momentum because they stop working hard. They lose it by making reasonable decisions that optimize for the short term — and quietly compound in the wrong direction.

Trap #1

⚡️ Short-term traction over sustainable growth

Early-stage growth is almost always urgent. Runway is real. Expectations are real. Speed matters.

But optimizing for speed doesn’t have to mean sacrificing sustainability.

Trouble starts when teams:
Treat self-serve & sales-led the same way
Scale paid spend before the GTM motion is clear
Optimize for volume instead of signal
Confuse early traction with long-term fit

It works... briefly.

Then CAC creeps up, payback stretches, and momentum quietly stalls.

Trap #2

🎯 Optimization without cohesive strategy

Growth rarely moves in a straight line. Some months it feels product-led, others marketing-led.

Without a cohesive strategy, growth stays unpredictable & doesn’t compound.

Teams obsess over:
Channel-level tweaks and micro-optimizations
Improving paid campaigns in isolation
A/B testing for 2% incremental lifts
Tracking metrics without clear attribution

Without predictability, growth can’t be scaled — it becomes a costly guessing game.

Momentum fades as teams double down on the wrong channels.

Momentum isn't lost in one bad decision.
It's lost when small GTM missteps go unchallenged.
That's the gap I help close ➜

What I'll help you figure out - and execute

GROWTH MARKETING

Build a growth engine — not just campaigns

I help build and run end-to-end growth programs that combine:

  • Paid & performance marketing (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube)
  • Lifecycle & CRM (HubSpot, activation, email)
  • Outbound & GTM tooling (Apollo, sequencing, experimentation)
  • Organic & SEO/ AEO (as part of the growth system)

Performance marketing is often the fastest signal. But the goal is turning that signal into repeatable, compounding growth.

Paid media isn’t the strategy.

It’s the amplifier — when the GTM motion is right.

PAID & PERFORMANCE MARKETING

Turn marketing $$$ into revenue

Make paid growth predictable — not experimental chaos.

I help teams answer the questions that actually matter:
  • Which conversion events to optimize for
  • Which channels and platforms to prioritize
  • How to allocate budget across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and more
Then I design and run funnel-aware, multi-channel campaigns that align with your GTM motion — not siloed ad experiments.
MARKETING ANALYTICS

Finally know what’s working — and what isn’t

Turn activity into clarity

I help you build an analytics foundation that actually supports decisions:

  • Clean data collection & routing (GTM / Google Tag Manager, Segment)
  • Product & growth analytics (Amplitude, PostHog, Metabase)
  • Business-facing insights without dashboard sprawl (Amplitude)
From there, we:
  • Build usable attribution (not over-engineered setups)
  • Understand CAC, payback, and channel interaction
  • Separate real lift from noisy data
GTM & GROWTH STRATEGY

Choose the right growth motion before you scale

Analytics-led growth, built around your best segments.

I analyze how different user segments adopt and extract value from your product to uncover opportunities to:

  • Upsell and cross-sell based on real usage patterns
  • Personalize GTM with segment-specific messaging and channels
Those insights drive clear GTM decisions:
  • Self-serve vs sales-led vs hybrid
  • Product-led growth vs marketing-led growth vs sales-led growth
  • Channel prioritization & sequencing
The goal isn’t “do more.”

It’s to do what scales and compounds over time.
