About

I build revenue engines for AI companies that are rewriting entire industries. 25 years scaling enterprise technology from $0→$100M+. Oracle and Netscape in the infrastructure wars. Four zero-to-exit journeys as founder/CRO, including Thankful.ai (sold to Gladly) and Boost.ai When agentic AI arrived, I watched traditional sales playbooks collapse in real time. So I rebuilt from first principles. The result: the TRUST framework—a methodology for revenue systems that compound instead of extract. It's documented in Never Be Closing and battle-tested with seed-to-Series C AI startups across three continents. I specialize in three things: Taking European AI companies into US markets (done it 3x successfully) Building revenue engines when established playbooks don't exist yet Diagnosing what's broken in go-to-market systems and rebuilding them with AI-native architectures Currently: VP Americas at Multiverse Computing (quantum-AI). Advisor to Path Companion, Craft Connect, Pure Agentic, and several companies in stealth. I also built Prespond.ai—a multi-agent system using Eleven Labs, Claude, and custom RAG that handles enterprise sales conversations 24/7. Because the best way to sell AI is to prove you can build with it. In the AI era, the only competitive advantage that can't be automated is the one you build by actually caring about outcomes.
