About Me

I am an operator and problem solver who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

While my foundation is in finance and accounting, I specialize in getting my hands dirty across all operational functions.

From vibe coding functional product prototypes to building the operational machinery that scales revenue-driving teams, I thrive in an environment with no set job descriptions.

I practice "leadership by service" and work best side-by-side with visionary CEOs, taking on the daily operational, financial, and scaling heavy-lifting so they can stay focused on vision and revenue growth.

My core expertise lies in the growth phase of $2M to $15M ARR B2B SaaS companies navigating scaling challenges, capital raises, or preparing for an exit.

My Methodology

Step 1: Dive into the finances

There is no better way to learn about a business than to clean up the accounting and reporting.

This area is typically the furthest behind but the quickest to clean up and can show imediate returns in investor happiness and performance awareness.

In many cases I am able to save money by bringing the bookkeeping and financial management in house and managing it directly.

Step 2: Learn the Founder(s)

Once a startup starts to take off it can be hard for founders to understand where to continue to lean in versus where to start letting go.

I focus hard on learning what the founder enjoys and has success with so that we can determine the best role for them that matches the stage of the company and ensures they continue to find joy in their venture.

Step 3: Build the Infrustructure

Once I have a good understanding of the business and a well defined role for the founder I can start to build/refine the supporting areas.

While learning the business I take a deep interest in each employee. Building trust with the "folks on the ground" helps me to uncover key areas of improvement and get the necessary buy-in to make successful change.

Step 4: Lead and Scale

My job as a leader is to elevate my team to truly own their work and breakdown barriers blocking their way. I practice leadership by service and am happy taking on grunt work to help accelerate my teams.

Because I focus on drawing out expertise from individual contributors, I am able to take on leadership positions in any part of the business either to bridge to a more specialized leader or to an exit.

While working IN the business to keep the operations running smoothly, I also focus hard ON the business working with the visionary to ensure we continue to drive sales and product growth forward.

EXIT

Driving to a successful exit begins the day you start your company. The entire time I am working with your organization we will be talking about your goals for exit and ensuring the strategies we are implementing align with that goal.

As I clean up the finances and other departments I will be preparing the documentation for due diligence (also critical for financing rounds).

When the time comes to go to market with the business I will lead the process (with an investment banking team if applicable) and due diligence streams to ensure a seamless exit that limits post discovery re-trading and ensures a successful outcome for you and all other stakeholders.
