Growth consulting for founder-CEOs

Your growth engine got you here. It won't get you there.

I help founder-CEOs turn a stalled growth engine into a repeatable pipeline machine — using the same playbook that took one company from Series A to pre-IPO scale.

SERIES A
$100M
Valuation, 100 people
SERIES B–C
23→6
Marketing FTEs, team leaned out
SERIES D
43%
Of enterprise pipeline, attributed
SERIES E
$2B
Valuation reached
NOW
$60M
Pipeline target, FY27
Sound familiar

You're not failing. You're stuck between stages.

There's traction, a team, and some pipeline — but the engine that got you here has quietly stopped working for where you're going.

"Pipeline was predictable last year. Now it's lumpy and I can't tell you why."
Usually an attribution problem, not a demand problem — the funnel outgrew the way you're measuring it.
"We keep adding marketers and the results don't move."
A team built for the last stage doesn't automatically work at this one. Headcount isn't the lever.
"The board wants efficient growth and I don't have a clean answer."
Revenue-per-FTE and CAC payback need a system behind them — not a slide made the night before.
"We bought the AI tools. Nothing structurally changed."
Tools without sequencing just add noise. The leverage is in where they replace work, not where they're bolted on.
The method

Stage-Fit Growth

The GTM motion that got you to Series A will actively work against you at Series C. The team shape that worked at 100 people breaks at 70 — or at 250 accounts.

"What worked to get here is what's now stuck you here."
01

Attribution & funnel maturity

Can you see — and defend to your board — where pipeline actually comes from? Most companies can't past Series B.

02

Team shape

Is headcount aligned to the stage you're heading into, or still built for the one you just left?

03

AI leverage points

Where automation actually replaces headcount and manual effort — versus where it's decoration on top of the same process.

Track record

About

Twenty years, one clear pattern

Two decades bridging agile execution with enterprise-scale commercial strategy — most recently taking a single company's growth engine from Series A through Series E, as valuation moved from roughly $100M toward $2B and the marketing team shrank from 23 to 6 people without pipeline missing a beat.

That's the pattern this consultancy is built on: diagnose the stage you're actually in, not the one your current playbook assumes, then rebuild attribution, team shape, and AI tooling to match it.

Hands-on with the stack that makes this possible — HubSpot/Salesforce, Demandbase/6sense, Gong, Clay, and Claude — used to build the system, not just present it in a deck.
