As a strategic sales and marketing leader with over 20 years of experience, I’ve built, scaled, and led high-performing teams across some of the most competitive sectors in agency services, advertising, and tech. From early-stage ventures to global agencies, I’ve consistently delivered results through thoughtful leadership, operational discipline, and a relentless focus on growth.Most recently I served as Chief Revenue Officer at Acceleration Partners where I oversaw global revenue and GTM operations for a leading affiliate and influencer marketing agency supporting 300+ clients in 45+ countries. I\'ve led transformations that generated $16M+ in new bookings annually and structured strategic partnerships that unlocked $7M+ in pipeline. My work with brands like Amazon, Apple, and CVS has sharpened my ability to scale enterprise relationships and build repeatable, data-driven sales frameworks.Throughout my career—from VC-backed startups to Fortune 500 media giants like AOL—I’ve driven triple-digit revenue growth, launched new teams across continents, and created the sales engines that power modern agency success. My leadership style combines hands-on coaching, performance accountability, and a deep commitment to aligning product-market fit with client outcomes.Off the clock, I’m a proud father of three, a hockey and lacrosse coach, and a lifelong learner who believes that leadership is earned every day.Let’s connect if you’re scaling a team, building a go-to-market motion, or just want to talk growth strategy.
