Achievements

Jack of all trades on the business side, from tactical (cold call sales, SEO, recruiting, financial models) to strategic (partnerships, strategy, IP, etc.) I've been employee #1 at startups as well as senior exec at 10,000+ people company. Built a few side businesses for fun, a $40m business for real, and a corporate venture fund.

Always eager to roll up sleeves and get things done, and always thinking about external growth (channels, partners, M&A, other GTM hacks)
