About

I help founders navigate the high-stakes journey from initial traction to global scale. I am a 4x founder with a successful exit, a former corporate operator, and a seasoned turnaround specialist.

Over 15 years, I’ve coached 200+ founders across 25 countries and 15 different industries—spanning SaaS, Marketplaces, AI, and Web3.

Results:
• Rapid Scale: 4 companies hit $1M ARR within 16 months under my guidance.
• The Turnaround Expert: In the last year alone, I’ve led 5 successful turnarounds, including one venture that went from near-collapse to profitability in four months.
• Capital & Growth: Scaled a sales portfolio from $5M → $22M and have personally negotiated nine-figure deals.
• World-Class Feedback: I maintain a 4.9/5 coaching rating across B2B, B2C, and D2C sectors.

Why Me?
I bridge the gap between "scrappy startup" and "institutional excellence." My experience covers the full spectrum of modern tech: ConTech, HealthTech, FinTech, GovTech, LegalTech, and Sustainability.

I know how to pivot when it matters most. After raising $2.2M for Silta v1 (tokenization) and missing PMF, I pivoted the company to AI, secured seed funding from the Asian Development Bank ($150B+ in assets), and reached $1M ARR within 12 months.

I understand "Big Stakes" environments. Before coaching full-time, I spent a decade in infrastructure and M&A, acting as a buy-side advisor on a $67M toll road acquisition. I bring that same institutional rigor to the founders I mentor, including those within top-tier accelerators like Antler and Outlier Ventures.

Excellent mentor, strategic advice and team management. Every single suggestion Ben has made to plan my business and help me grow and manage my team has proven on point and very effective. He was able to see things clearly where I could not and give me mature, balanced advice that I could action and was well perceived with the team. I highly recommend!
