Summary
I'm an advisor and investor that helps CEOs and executive teams build scalable businesses. As the founder and CEO of TOPO (a leading research and advisory firm), I worked with companies like Microsoft, Google, ServiceNow, Procore, Appfolio, and 100s of others... to help them achieve scalable, repeatable growth. Now, I work with a handful of clients every year, helping them with issues like: - GTM strategy - Branding and positioning - Storytelling and messaging - Founder-led sales - Account-based marketing - Sales process design - Cross-functional alignment - Product development - Subscription business models - Adult leadership When working with clients, I'm committed to being innovative, while also being grounded in reality. You will also find me to be specific, candid, and empathetic. Believe it or not, I'm also fun (or at least I think so)! Over my 30 year career, I've seen a lot - I understand exactly how hard it is to achieve scale, what works, and what doesn't. >> If you'd like some help figuring that out, please reach out via LinkedIn messaging or email. <<
