I’ve helped companies grow efficiently while building systems that compound engagement, loyalty, and advocacy over time.I’m also the bestselling author of Lean AI, part of Eric Ries’s The Lean Startup series, where I share how teams can use AI and experimentation to build smarter, faster growth systems.Core Focus Areas• AI-powered growth systems – using data and automation to help communities grow and engage at scale• Community-led growth strategy – turning customers into advocates through participation loops that compound over time• Scalable experimentation – testing systematically to identify growth levers and improve user acquisition, retention, and ROICareer Highlights• Scaled revenue from $1M → $100M+ through repeatable growth strategies• Delivered 5 consecutive years of record growth at IMVU, one of the top-grossing gaming apps• Contributed to 4 startup exits: Roku (IPO), Texture (Apple), TrustedID (Equifax), Tynker (BYJU’S)• Managed $50M+ annual marketing spend across acquisition, retention, and monetization• Built and led high-performing hybrid and remote growth teams of 20+I believe the next era of growth will be won by earned trust, strong communities, and systems that quietly compound over time, not by louder marketing.I’m happy to connect with founders, growth teams, and operators exploring AI-powered growth, community strategy, and scalable marketing systems.
