At OKX, the world's second largest crypto exchange, I transliterate techno-speak into human outcomes and GTM them across the globe. From the big strategic ideas down to the little tactics that make it all come together into a memorable narrative that translate into numbers (read: revenue). At ROOK, I built a marketing function from zero, uniting Product, Marketing and Sales into one symbiotic growth engine. Twelve months later, the company was acquired. At The Cake Group, I launched a product that generated $700K in five months. First time marketing had ever been tied directly to a product P&L. At NCS Next, I built the demand generation engine that fed a high-value enterprise sales motion for a 450-person technology consultancy partnered with Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. Different industries. Same problem every time. Complex product. Crowded market. Broken GTM. Story disconnected from revenue. I find the real positioning. Build the system around it.
