the growth gap isn't vision or technology - it's execution!
In Today's AI Economy...
AI reveals risks in fragmented GTM systems, misaligned teams, and scattered AI initiatives, creating the blind spots and inefficiencies that no dashboard can capture. While leadership teams craft ambitious growth strategies and invest heavily in AI tools, the real bottleneck lies in this messy middle. I turn strategy into momentum by exposing what traditional dashboards miss.
As buyer journeys evolve with AI systems acting on behalf of humans, the rules of growth are fundamentally shifting. We're moving from high-volume lead generation to high-quality opportunity creation, from quarterly sprints to sustained value velocity, and from traditional sales funnels to agentic buyer experiences.
The companies thriving in this transition aren't just buying better technology. They're reimagining their entire approach to growth through coordinated execution, intelligent agents, and data-driven strategies that turn complexity into competitive advantage.
My conviction: To grow intelligently and thrive in disruption, companies must embrace a change mindset to
Scale smarter. Grow Faster. Operate Leaner.
FROM START-UP HUSTLE TO FORTUNE 500 SCALE
I'm passionate about helping fast-growth and Fortune 500 SaaS companies bridge the gap between ambitious strategy and flawless execution. Whether it's aligning Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and IT around shared OKRs or building ecosystem partnerships that unlock new revenue streams, I specialize in turning operational chaos into scalable momentum.
My track record speaks to this focus: $2B in marketing-influenced pipeline, 80% ARR growth, $50M in cost savings, and enabling 10,000+ users across global teams. But beyond the numbers, what I'm most proud of is building high-performing, unified operations that span regions, functions, and cultures.
I bring a unique blend of first-principles thinking, international experience (Swiss BBA, MBA-level education from Stanford, MIT, and UT Austin), and deep SaaS technology fluency. This combination allows me to bridge business strategy with technology execution - turning complexity into scalable results.
empowering humans with Augmented AI
I believe the future of growth is architected by great leaders, delivered by high-performing teams, and powered by the intelligent integration of human insight with AI capabilities.
Rather than replacing human judgment, I focus on augmenting it by using AI to surface hidden patterns, automate repetitive processes, and free up strategic thinkers to focus on what they do best: building relationships, solving complex problems, and driving innovation.
This philosophy isn’t just a belief—it’s the lens I apply to every decision, whether I’m architecting operational frameworks or distilling trends into practical insights. In my monthly Blog and more frequent NXTseries quick bites, I explore the shifting intersection of AI, marketing, sales, and customer engagement—translating what today’s trends in AI mean for tomorrow’s strategies leaders can act on now.
