THE JOURNEY
From hustle to systems
A few years into scaling MobileCause, with 110 employees and $15M ARR, I had what I'd call a classic founder moment: the numbers looked great, the LinkedIn posts were celebratory, and deep down I was thinking… "Wait, how exactly did we get here?"
That's when I realized the difference between hustle and systems. Hustle got us traction. But systems are what made it repeatable, scalable, and ultimately, acquirable.
Today, I serve as Managing Director at Scaling Tech and Managing Partner at Luminal—helping early-stage companies execute and grow across both ventures, guiding founders through the critical 0→1 phase with hands-on operational support and strategic oversight.
I help founders skip the painful learning curve. I bring the playbook that took me decades to build—combining fractional GTM execution with AI automation—so you can scale faster, leaner, and smarter.

MY PHILOSOPHY
"Most startups don't fail because of product quality or lack of funding—they fail because they build their go-to-market motion on outdated assumptions. I help companies challenge these myths and build scalable, efficient growth engines that actually work in today's market."
