At your table.
Not on payroll.

You built the product and the sales team. The market hasn't caught up yet, and a second executive salary isn't the answer. You want a CMO who has sat in the chair, in your meetings, on your numbers. That's the seat I take.

What you get

In plain terms

Me, in
the room.
Me, in the room.

Your leadership meetings, your planning cycle, your hard calls. The name on the invoice is the person in the chair.

A number on
your P&L.
A number on your P&L.

Four gauges, every month: close rate, SQLs, brand search, time to close. Not impressions. Not a deck.

A sales team
with a head start.
A sales team with a head start.

Your customer wants the product before your salesperson calls. That's what marketing is for, and it's the only thing I measure it against.

A seat, not
a salary.
A seat, not a salary.

Executive marketing leadership at a fraction of an executive hire. Start with ninety days or keep the seat.

Twenty years. One pattern.

The full résumé · on request

Every number.
Every brand.

Twenty years, interactive. Ask for it and the link comes from me, not a robot.

The promise

You get me.
Not a junior.

I'm in your meetings, building the strategy, reviewing the work, coaching your team. Ask the CEOs I've worked with: the bar goes up fast. Competitors scramble, sales believes in marketing again, and revenue follows. One invoice. One point of contact. Zero surprises.
