Executive leadership

An operator for the whole P&L.

I've spent twenty-plus years scaling B2C brands, SaaS platforms, and multi-location operations, from startup to exit, from seed budgets to $25M+. I build revenue architecture that a board can interrogate line by line: attribution from first touch to closed revenue, teams that hit forecast, and systems that survive due diligence.

Scope of ownership

What I own when I take the seat.

Not a channel specialist with a title. I own the full revenue apparatus, demand through close, budget through board deck, end to end, accountable to one number.

A / 06

Demand generation & paid media

Full-funnel acquisition across every channel that earns its keep, budget allocated by contribution to closed revenue, not by habit.

Google · Meta · LSA · CTV

B / 06

CRM & marketing automation

The operational backbone: pipelines, lifecycle automation, and integrations that keep sales and marketing on one source of truth. A full CRM migration executed so the numbers come out trustworthy.

Builder Prime · Salesforce · HubSpot · ServiceTitan · N8N / Make / Zapier

C / 06

Attribution & business intelligence

First-touch-to-closed-revenue visibility. Dashboards a CFO trusts, incrementality over vanity metrics, and reporting that ends the “what’s working” debate.

Full-funnel attribution · BI dashboards · Incrementality

D / 06

Inside sales & call center ops

The handoff is where revenue dies. I own the scripts, the speed-to-lead, the set rates, and the management cadence that turns marketing spend into booked appointments.

Budget & P&L discipline

$25M+ deployed with an operator’s scrutiny, every dollar defends itself or gets reallocated. Founder-honed cost discipline: I've signed both sides of the check.

Forecasting · CAC / LTV · Vendor ROI

F / 06

Team building & vendor management

I've hired, structured, and led in-house teams and agency benches. High standards, clear goals, no micromanagement, the people who've worked for me say so on the record.

The record

Roles held. Numbers delivered.

Every line verifiable, every result tied to a system I built and a team I led. This is the diligence file, in the open.

Infinity Home Services
Regional marketing, Midwest
Feb 2026 to Present

I own Midwest marketing across a national home-services platform, building a team of four on trust, agile, and change management. Deep audits built on data augmentation and quantitative analytics cut dead line items, and I align marketing goals to operational goals with the call center, HR, operations, and Brand Presidents. The region now outperforms every other region in the company, double-digit YoY growth in qualified leads, appointments, and sales.

How I run a portfolio

Six brands. One operating system.

At Atrium, a PE-owned portfolio of six HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and air-quality brands, every brand budget rolled up to me, $25M in total. Here's what portfolio-level ownership looked like in practice.

Consolidated spend
Payment & platform leverage

I unified Google Ads payments from six per-brand credit cards into consolidated ACH, qualifying the portfolio for a corporate-level Google account with a dedicated Google advisor. Scale negotiated into leverage, not just spend.

Cradle-to-grave tracking
Attribution standard

I implemented UTM tracking cradle-to-grave across the portfolio, every lead traceable from first click to closed job, with all six brands reporting on one standard instead of six dialects.

Portfolio-level allocation

With every budget rolling up to one desk, reallocation happened at portfolio level, dollars moved to the brand and channel where returns were highest, not where habit had parked them.

How I operate

The operating system.

Three principles, applied without exception. They're why the numbers repeat across industries, business models, and market cycles.

01 / 03

Build systems that scale

Campaigns end; systems compound, the acquisition engine I rebuilt at Vertex took booking rate from 16% to 59%.

02 / 03

Create operational efficiencies wherever possible

Waste goes first: at Wensco that discipline returned 30% more revenue on 35% less marketing cost.

03 / 03

Always rely on data to make decisions

Every budget I’ve run, up to $25M across six brands, was allocated by closed-revenue data, not by the loudest voice in the room.
