Founder-Led Growth: Turn Founder Attention Into Pipeline

I build systems that turn founder attention into revenue.

I’m not just a marketer. I learned structured thinking as an Army combat MP in Iraq. Applied it at LinkedIn, where I helped turn Sales Navigator into a billion-dollar business. Did it again at Slack. Now I help founders build growth engines that turn attention into revenue.

What founder-led growth actually means

Founder-led growth is not a posting habit, and it is not a personal-brand exercise. It is the system that turns a founder’s existing attention — followers, engagement, competitor conversations — into named buyers and booked meetings. Three things have to exist: a point of view worth following, a collection layer that captures who is paying attention, and a routing layer that gets that person into a conversation within 48 hours. When any one of the three is missing, attention accumulates and pipeline does not.

Most founders have the first and none of the second. That is the gap this work closes.

It runs on four systems: LinkedIn lead generation, the GTM content engine, signal-to-pipeline collection, and demand generation.

Not Just a Marketer

Most people lead with "former LinkedIn."

I lead with the experience that shaped how I think.

The Army taught me discipline. Iraq taught me execution under pressure. LinkedIn taught me how systems scale. Slack taught me how they accelerate growth.

Today, I help founders build repeatable growth engines that turn attention into predictable revenue.

Because growth is not luck — it is a system.
