I build AI systems that hold up in production.Fifteen years closing B2B tells me which ones to build.

Built and shipped solo, end to end.

The path

Both halves of a deal, in one person

  1. Before 2026

    Fifteen years closing enterprise B2B

    Carried quota, ran the room, closed complex deals. I learned what buyers actually respond to, and what most 'AI for sales' gets wrong.

  2. 2026 · 01

    Signal-Based Lead Generator

    Rejected the category: stop renting lead lists, build buying-window radar instead.

  3. 2026 · 02

    LinkedIn Content Engine

    Rejected the volume play: a slop filter, not a content firehose.

  4. 2026 · 03

    Sales Navigator Outreach System

    Rejected the tier ladder: built the integration LinkedIn won't sell (inside ToS).

  5. 2026 · 04

    Brand Voice Operator

    Rejected the document: a voice a new hire could run on day one.

  6. 2026 · 05

    Launch Command Center

    Rejected the black box: auditable autonomy you can open and inspect.

Let’s talk.
