If you were to rent a basketball gym for middle school and high school practices, which of the following would you rather rent:

Option A: Basketball gym with one high school full court plus a half court (high school full court length is 84' long).

Option B: Basketball gym with 2 full courts that are a little shorter (each court is 72' long).

Sorry if this seems random but the info from this poll will extremely helpful.

Thank you for your help!

I’m an experienced entrepreneur and hands-on operator based in California. I’m exploring select consulting engagements, fractional leadership roles, and the right cofounder opportunity.

I have more than 25 years of experience across operations, marketing, sales, customer success, product development, and team leadership. For the past 15+ years, my primary focus has been B2B marketing and revenue growth.

In 2010, I cofounded a lead-generation and pipeline-acceleration company serving B2B technology clients. We have grown the company to approximately 40 employees.

My role at is best described as an operating cofounder and CRO. I oversee sales, marketing, and customer success, while also managing our IT and site operations. I developed the products we sell, established their positioning, and built many of the systems we use to attract prospects, convert them into clients, and retain their business.

My strength is connecting strategy with execution. I can help determine what a company should offer, identify the right customers, position the product, build the go-to-market system, lead early sales, create a strong customer experience, and recruit the people needed to grow.

Sales and go-to-market

I have hands-on experience:

• Building target-account and prospect lists
• Developing outbound messaging and sales campaigns
• Setting up marketing automation and lead-nurturing programs
• Leading discovery calls, presentations, and sales conversations
• Creating repeatable processes for generating and converting opportunities
• Developing partnerships and new routes to market

I consider myself an effective consultative salesperson because I have also spent time on the buying side. I understand how buyers evaluate solutions and make decisions. My approach is to ask the right questions early, uncover the customer’s actual needs, and determine whether the offering provides a meaningful solution.

I’m comfortable leading early-stage sales and helping build a company’s sales process. However, I’m not looking for a role centered exclusively on cold outreach or full-time selling. I provide the most value when I can work across product, positioning, marketing, revenue, customer success, and operations.

Marketing and product development

I developed our products and positioning and continue to refresh our marketing and product strategy each quarter. I have also created our website content, marketing content, sales materials, messaging, campaigns, and lead-nurturing programs.

My experience includes both strategic decisions and hands-on execution. I’m comfortable defining the target market and value proposition, but I can also build the prospect list, write the campaign, configure the workflow, and help launch it.

Customer success and leadership

I manage our client-services team, personally lead client meetings, resolve account issues, and oversee client satisfaction and retention. I also use customer feedback to improve our products, positioning, and delivery processes.

One of my greatest strengths as a leader is recognizing potential in people. I look for skills and experience when hiring, but I also try to identify what someone can become. I take pride in placing people in the right roles and helping them develop into strong contributors and leaders.

What I’m looking for

For a cofounder opportunity, I would be particularly interested in partnering with a technical or product-focused founder who already has a working product, meaningful customer validation, or deep industry expertise.

I could take ownership of:

• Validating the market and target customer
• Developing the offering, positioning, and messaging
• Building the go-to-market system
• Leading early sales and strategic partnerships
• Establishing customer-success and retention processes
• Recruiting, managing, and developing the team
• Turning disconnected activities into an organized operating company

I’m looking for a genuine partnership where our capabilities complement each other—not an arrangement where I would simply become an unpaid salesperson for an undeveloped idea.

For consulting, I’m open to:

• Focused strategy projects
• Hands-on implementation
• Go-to-market and revenue consulting
• Product positioning and messaging
• Fractional CRO or operating roles
• Customer-success and retention strategy
• Advisory relationships
• Team and process development

Industries of particular interest

• B2B and AI software
• Sports technology and youth athletics
• PropTech and real-estate operations
• Health, wellness, and performance technology
• Fintech

I’m also open to other industries where my operating and go-to-market experience could make a meaningful contribution.

If you think there may be a fit, please send me a DM with a brief description of:

• Your company, product, or idea
• Its current stage and traction
• The problem you are solving
• The type of help or partnership you’re seeking
• Your website or LinkedIn profile, if available

I’m happy to start with a conversation and see whether our experience, goals, and working styles align.
