If you speak to everyone, you speak to no one. We help brands develop a unique point of view and push that into the market to develop repeatable demand. We work with both pre and post traction startups.

Links is a new golf social club with monthly pairings you'll be excited for, retreats you'll pencil in your calendar a year in advance, and PGA caliber coaching so you don't lose an entire sleeve when you play with your boss next month. We run a Scramble league in the spring, and a March Madness Style Par 3 tournament in the fall. In between we run clinics, events, and pair you up every month with a new set of golf buddies to play with.

Led growth strategy and execution across dozens of early-stage startups, from napkin sketch to traction, customers, and funding. As part of the decision committee, I evaluated new concepts and founders, helping shape what we built and who we built with. Worked hands-on to take 10+ startups from zero to launch, crafting go-to-market plans, finding early traction channels, and turning initial momentum into real fundraising stories.

Hivemapper is a decentralized mapping network that enables monitoring and autonomous navigation without the need for expensive sensors, aircraft, or satellites. At Hivemapper I built a thriving community of 500+ drone pilots and dash-cam drivers to enable a decentralized network of map data.

Built a Market From Scratch—Then Built the Team to Scale It At Starry, I wasn’t just “Director of Growth.” I was the installer, the marketer, the closer, the operator—whatever the market needed, I did it. I pulled cable, pitched landlords, hosted events, installed hardware, and brought internet into people’s homes. Then I built teams to do it better, faster, and at scale. In four years, we grew DC from zero to 20,000 customers. It was full-stack growth in the real world—and the perfect training ground for what I do now at Honey Badger Labs. Starry’s mission? Fix the broken internet experience with a fresh, customer-first approach. I helped bring that to life—street by street, building by building.

Enterprise-Grade Growth, Startup-Style Speed Co-founded Cvent’s Onsite Solutions team and helped grow it from concept to a $20M business line. We started with a single mobile app and evolved it into a global suite of event technology products. Led go-to-market efforts across product development, marketing, and sales. Launched a $1M e-commerce business to support scaling demand. By the end of my tenure, I was managing a global team of 40+, supporting events in 20+ countries. This experience shaped how I approach building and scaling products today—combining speed, customer insight, and sustainable growth systems.
