I join companies at key inflection points to simplify complexity, strengthen operations, and unlock new revenue opportunities.

For nearly 20 years, I’ve helped senior executives turn technology into measurable business outcomes by removing friction, clarifying workflows, and accelerating how revenue moves through their organization. Vertical SaaS platforms often struggle with manual billing, disconnected payments, and fragmented financial data that slow ARR and strain operators. I help teams translate this complexity into clear, profitable workflows by accelerating monetization, reducing leakage, and improving financial efficiency. Partnering with product, finance, and operations leaders, I quantify ROI and reveal the revenue hidden inside existing processes, resulting in faster cash flow, cleaner operations, and higher margins. At Preczn, I work directly with vertical SaaS teams to uncover where revenue is trapped and build the business case for automating onboarding, billing, payments, and collections. My goal is to make the complex simple and increase the speed of how money moves through their business.
