Why They Chose To Work With Me
Battle-Tested Across
Industries and Eras
With over 35 years navigating the high-stakes worlds of Wall Street, Madison Avenue, and Silicon Alley, I bring more than just experience, I bring perspective.
Founders seek me out because I’ve worn every hat, from engineer to advertising agent to project manager. I know what works, what fails, and what scales because I’ve lived it across multiple economic cycles and sectors.
Street-Smart Meets
Boardroom-Savvy
Entrepreneurs don’t just need strategy; they need hustle. I was raised by a master marketer and cut my teeth in street sales long before digital funnels were a thing.
From selling on the corner to presenting in corporate boardrooms, I fuse street instincts with corporate polish, helping founders craft offerings that resonate at every level—from pitch decks to product launches.
Failure-Literate and
Forward-Focused
People trust me because I don’t romanticize success, I study failure. I’ve made the hard mistakes, rebuilt from scratch, and guided others through the fire.
Startups hire me not just to win, but to learn how not to lose. I help them avoid pitfalls, stay lean, and do what Jason Calacanis preaches: “Do the work”—smarter, faster, and with resilience.
