Over the last decade I've led GTM growth across Vertical SaaS & AI, Payments, and FinTech, scaling revenue across SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise, and turning founder-led selling into repeatable, defensible growth engines. As part of Toast's founding GTM team, I helped build the playbooks that drove national expansion and multi-product monetization from the ground up. Since then I've opened new markets, rebuilt underperforming teams, re-engineered segmentation models, and restructured go-to-market motions at every stage of company growth. Two things drive everything I do: set crystal-clear expectations, and earn genuine customer trust. When a team knows exactly what great looks like and why it matters, execution becomes a competitive advantage. When customers trust you, expansion, retention, and advocacy take care of themselves. Where I specialize: GTM Strategy & Market Expansion · Scaling Teams & Leadership Development · Payments & FinTech Monetization · TAM, Segmentation, ICP & Coverage Modeling · Challenger-Informed, ROI-Centric Sales If you're rewriting how your market buys, outmaneuvering entrenched competitors, and scaling around real customer pain, that's where I do my best work.
