Overview
I work with boards, CEOs, and executive teams when the stakes are high — often when a company is trying to scale enterprise growth or make a meaningful shift involving AI, digital platforms, or its go-to-market approach. Over the past 35+ years, I’ve helped organizations build, sell, and scale complex businesses across Fortune 500 enterprises, PE-backed services firms, and venture-backed technology companies. I’ve personally led and closed $100M+ in enterprise transactions, and I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to move from early traction to operating at global scale. What’s shaped my persp

I work with boards, CEOs, and executive teams when the stakes are high — often when a company is trying to scale enterprise growth or make a meaningful shift involving AI, digital platforms, or its go-to-market approach. Over the past 35+ years, I’ve helped organizations build, sell, and scale complex businesses across Fortune 500 enterprises, PE-backed services firms, and venture-backed technology companies. I’ve personally led and closed $100M+ in enterprise transactions, and I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to move from early traction to operating at global scale. What’s shaped my perspective is the range of environments I’ve worked in. I’ve spent time in large consulting organizations, Silicon Valley startups, and in global sales leadership roles across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Having lived in each of those worlds makes it easier to tell the difference between strategies that look good on paper and ones that actually work once execution begins. Today, I serve as a Board Advisor, Operating Advisor, and Fractional CRO, usually stepping in at inflection points—when ambition is high, complexity is real, and decisions need to hold up under real-world pressure. In practical terms, I work with leadership teams on: • Clarifying enterprise growth and go-to-market strategy • Improving sales motions that aren’t scaling the way they should • Moving from founder-led traction to repeatable, predictable revenue • Getting product, technology, and commercial teams aligned • Working through large, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals From a board or investor perspective, I’m often asked to help answer questions like: • Is the revenue truly repeatable, or still driven by relationships? • Where is go-to-market or execution risk hiding post-investment? • How do we shorten or stabilize long enterprise sales cycles? • Do our AI and digital narratives match what buyers will actually fund? I tend to be most useful when there’s real pressure to get the decisions right.
