Who I am.

The Connector

Trusted relationships with Fortune 500 manufacturers, national resellers, integrators and enterprise buyers. When a door needs opening, I know who to call.

The Operator

Not a slide-deck consultant. I take ownership of the sales number and work in the trenches alongside your team.

The Standard

Sales and marketing leadership forged at Sony, Panasonic and Adorama, brought to growing B2B and commercial companies. I partner selectively.

People call me The Connector because I keep my word and return the call. That trust opens doors for every company I work with.

Built for leaders who are ready to execute.

I work alongside owners, CEOs, founders and sales leaders, including SVPs of sales, at small and mid size B2B and commercial companies. I'm selective: I partner with leaders who value honesty, respect their people, and are ready to execute.

My network reaches Fortune 500 manufacturers, national resellers, integrators, retailers, enterprise buyers and more.

What I do

Four core execution pillars.

No consulting binders. I step in, own the number, and execute alongside your team.

Fractional CSO and P&L ownership

As your part-time Chief Sales Officer, I take ownership of the revenue number alongside owners, CEOs and SVPs of sales: forecast, pipeline and weekly discipline, without full-time executive overhead.
