I am a GTM and Product Growth expert. I started in tech as a founding GTM hire at a YC-backed startup, where I spent months trying to sell a product nobody wanted — until YC and later Reforge reshaped how I approach startup growth.
For the last seven years, I've helped multiple B2B SaaS and AI companies find go-to-market fit, drive new bookings, and build durable self-serve revenue engines.

CHALLENGES
Users sign up, poke around, some return the next week, but very few stick for long
We get customers, but growth is slow and nothing compounds.
Product-led, Sales-led, or Product-led Sales - choosing one feels like a gamble.
It feels like we're stuck in a loop with no way out.
We have firmographic ICPs, but they don't tell us how to market or sell our product.
... and more.
SUCCESS STORIES

B2B SaaS
early growth
Product-led sales
The initial audit surfaced a clear segment-level opportunity. The product delivered strong value for a specific customer segment, but the GTM motion was not optimized for that segment. We refocused positioning and messaging, rebuilt the website flow to proactively capture high-fit accounts and convert them into meetings, and updated sales scripts and workflows, generating $1.2M in net-new qualified pipeline in 2.5 months.

growth stage
~110 employees
The existing growth constraint was high early churn. Analysis showed that churn was driven by inconsistent service quality on the supply side, which hampered the customer experience early in the lifecycle. We identified the key leading indicator tied to churn, mapped the highest-impact levers, and rebuilt the supplier quality loop. This improved the leading churn metric by 40× and reduced customer churn by 30% over the next three months.

product-led
Newly introduced AI capabilities faced adoption friction among existing and new vibe-coding users. We identified user desired outcomes and experience bottlenecks, mapped the user journey, and, partnering with the product team, created a coherent experience from the website visit to receiving first product value, resulting in a 100% increase in activation rate.
