I help companies translate strong products and technologies into scalable revenue growth. I began my career on Wall Street in investment banking, where I structured and financed leveraged buyouts and advised on mergers and acquisitions before moving into operating roles as a CEO, CRO, and strategic advisor focused on commercialization, partnerships, and revenue expansion. Over the course of my career, I have worked with companies across multiple industries where the core challenge is the same: turning strong products, technologies, and ideas into sustainable commercial success. My work typically centers on building clear go-to-market strategies, developing strategic partnerships, and expanding revenue through disciplined execution. Today I work with select companies in leadership and advisory roles to help accelerate growth through enterprise partnerships, global distribution, and effective commercialization strategies. Recent work includes: • Leading revenue strategy for VersaClimber, an iconic performance fitness brand with more than four decades of industry leadership • Advising AI-QuantumX on commercialization strategy for next-generation AI infrastructure and network optimization technologies • Supporting companies in developing strategic partnerships across enterprise platforms, telecommunications providers, defense contractors, and international distributors Across these engagements, the focus is consistent: • Scaling revenue and enterprise partnerships • Translating complex technologies into clear commercial opportunities • Building distribution networks and strategic alliances • Aligning financial strategy with operational growth My experience spans both performance brands and advanced technology platforms, including AI infrastructure, telecommunications, enterprise technology, and consumer product commercialization. I enjoy working with founders, investors, and leadership teams building ambitious companies and seeking to accelerate growth through focused strategy and strong execution. I occasionally take on a limited number of fractional CRO or strategic advisory engagements with companies seeking to expand revenue, partnerships, or market positioning.
