What it's like to work with me?
Many people can claim to know how to grow a consumer product in theory. I’ve done it in practice.
As marketing executive and hands-on startup operator, I’ve spent the last decade working for venture-backed high-growth mobile-first B2C startups, including Clue and Fishbrain. I’m currently working in growth at Klarna, and I’m also an advisor and mentor with SYSTM, Antler, and First Round Fast Track.
I know how lonely and challenging it is to drive growth in a scaling company. If you’re looking for help understanding your customer and finding your big growth levers, get in touch!
Who I am a great fit for?
I work well with:
- Startup founders who are responsible for wearing the marketing hat – while juggling every other business responsibility.
- Marketing leads who are the first marketing hire in their startup and have a mandate to drive growth – both with and without cash to spend.
- Growth leads who were brought in to do “”growth hacking”” and need to explain there’s no such thing – but you know a better way.
- Product leads who want to build up their marketing muscles with someone who speaks both product and marketing.
Notable highlights
Led the marketing and growth team at multiple B2C mobile app startups, driving between 200 and 300% user growth.
Scaled marketing teams from 1 to 20, including hiring for roles across Paid UA, e-commerce, content and community, PR, and business development.
Advised more than 100 startup founders and growth teams across multiple industries, both B2B and B2C.
