About
As an experienced startup mentor and speaker 🎤, I help early-stage founders build scalable, sustainable growth engines.
As a growth marketing expert 📈, I've spent the last 5+ years working with founders to develop strategic, data-driven approaches to customer acquisition and retention. I focus on maximizing return on investment across digital channels like paid advertising 💵, SEO 🔎, email 📧, and social media marketing 📲.
I've mentored over 50 startups 🏢 through programs like Google Launchpad 🚀, Techstars ⭐, and GrowthMentor 🧑🏫. I enjoy working closely with founders to set ambitious yet realistic growth goals 🎯, then rolling up my sleeves 💪 to implement tactical marketing campaigns and experiments. With an analytical, hypothesis-driven 📊 approach, I help teams track performance 📝, rapidly iterate 🔁, and scale what's working ⬆️.
In addition to hands-on mentoring 🤝, I share my startup growth expertise through public speaking 🗣. I've delivered talks and led workshops at Judge Business School Cambridge 🎓, Google Launchpad 🚀, General Assembly 👥, Imperial College London 🏛, and various startup conferences globally 🌎. My speaking engagements focus on avoiding common pitfalls 🪤 and empowering founders with practical, actionable advice on topics like customer acquisition 🎟, team building 👨👩👦👦, fundraising 💸, and more.
Past clients 👨💻👩💻 describe me as knowledgeable 🧠, enthusiastic 😄, and dedicated to founders' success 🏆. My personal startup experience allows me to empathize with the founder journey ✨. If you're looking for an experienced marketing advisor 🗣 to help develop a robust, measurable growth strategy 📈, I'd be excited to partner with you! 🤝
