About

I bring a rare edge to Go-To-Market: a data science foundation that turns ambiguity into pipeline. At Simular, I lead GTM for an AI product — from demand generation and content strategy to conversion optimization and sales enablement. Previously at Kuse, I built the GTM function from scratch, and at AMA Career, I drove a 20% increase in paid user conversion through A/B testing and data-driven campaign optimization. What makes me different: I don't just run campaigns — I build the dashboards, analyze the funnel, and optimize with precision. My background spans data science (Python, SQL, ML), product analytics, and growth marketing across AI, edtech, and B2B SaaS. What I'm looking for: GTM, growth, or demand generation roles at early-stage AI/tech companies where data-driven thinking and scrappy execution matter. Let's connect — DM me here on LinkedIn!
