About

Revenue strategy & Execution for $10M–$200M B2B/B2C tech companies I help companies that have achieved Product Market Fit (PMF) Build & Execute predictable Revenue systems that Scale - from Boardroom Strategy to frontline Execution. Most CROs are either Strategists or Operators. I have spent 25 years mastering being BOTH. from: Engineering → Sales → Sales Leadership → GTM Strategy → Revenue Leadership → Business Leadership Product-Market-Fit gets you in the game. Predictable revenue is what lets you control it. My focus is a specific inflection point: the moment a company with proven product-market fit decides to build or rebuild a real enterprise revenue motion (without breaking what made them work). The commercial organization hasn't kept up with the product. Enterprise deals stall, NRR is soft, pricing leaves value on the table, and the board wants predictability that doesn't yet exist. That's the moment I'm built for. At Cloudinary, I architected the global revenue motion from $20M to $150M ARR - bootstrapped, 40% annual growth, profitable, $2B valuation. At Hygraph, I inherited 66% NRR and rebuilt the commercial model to 110%. At Shapr3D, I built the outbound engine from scratch; it now generates approximately 90% of enterprise pipeline & revenue. The pattern is the same across every engagement: sharpen ICP and segmentation, build pricing architecture that captures enterprise value, design a CS motion around expansion rather than just retention, activate partner ecosystems for durable pipeline, install forecasting discipline that gives boards real visibility, and establish a team that executes. A diversified revenue portfolio; doubling down on what works; continuous innovation to sustain growth; balanced approach to revenue and margins; and disciplined expansion are a few key factors behind my success. I also stay close to the field. I have personally closed hundreds of enterprise deals and carried executive sponsor relationships with Fortune 500 accounts across manufacturing, supply chain, finance, technology, and logistics. Strategy doesn't survive contact with the market unless the CRO is willing to test it themselves.
