WHO I HELP
I work best with B2B SaaS, eCommerce, growth-stage, and enterprise consumer brand teams that want marketing tied to pipeline, revenue, and profitability, not vanity metrics.I’m usually brought in when:📉 CAC is drifting
Spend is scaling, but efficiency, payback, and next steps are unclear.🧭 Attribution is a black box
Demand exists, but leadership does not fully trust the data.🔌 Pipeline impact is unclear
Activity is high, but pipeline and closed-won revenue are not moving with it.🧠 Execution lacks cadence
The strategy exists, but testing velocity, accountability, and follow-through are missing.
HOW I DRIVE GROWTH
Revenue Architecture is my operating system for finding constraints, improving efficiency, and scaling revenue.
STRATEGIC ADVISORY
I work with a small number of teams on high-leverage advisory engagements designed to improve CAC, attribution, pipeline clarity, and revenue performance.🔍 Growth Engine Audits
ICP clarity, attribution trust, spend efficiency, funnel constraints, and a clear action plan.🧭 Fractional Growth Leadership
Senior-level strategy and execution oversight for teams in transition or at an inflection point.⚙️ Measurement and AI Workflows
Tracking, reporting, QA systems, and faster weekly decision loops.📈 Operating Cadence and Experimentation
A tighter testing rhythm across paid media, landing pages, lifecycle, and reporting.
ONE SYSTEM FIX
At Decisions, paid social slipped while spend held steady.The issue was not just media buying. The deeper problems were offer-message mismatch, post-click friction, ICP drift, and unclear attribution.What changed:Rebuilt the creative and audience testing matrix around ICP and intent.Restructured campaigns by country and motion.Improved conversion tracking and connected reporting into HubSpot.Built a cleaner pipeline dashboard for performance decisions.Result: CPA down 45% and ROAS up 384% YoY.
