The short version

Operator first, speaker second.

Capital Markets → SaaS Sales → Venture Capital → Founder & Operator

I've spent 17+ years in the trenches of B2B revenue. I've sat in the investor chair, the operator chair, and the salesperson chair. I know what it's like to carry the number, miss the number, and rebuild the engine from scratch.

Now I help founders do what I've done — build the GTM strategy, hire the team, design the playbook, and get out of every deal. I've worked with 40+ startups as a fractional CRO/CMO and I bring real pattern recognition, not theory.

The throughline: I like to do hard things and go fast.

What People Are Saying

Rated a perfect 5.0 across 34 verified reviews on G2.

I left with an actionable go-to-market framework, not vague advice. She helped me move from several hard-to-sell audiences to a focused, higher-value ICP, and pointed me to exactly the right channel and outreach approach for how my buyers actually buy.
