I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution. My job is to recruit and retain the best talent, build the right operating systems, and create the conditions for teams to win. Financial performance is the result of strategy, not the starting point. In a turnaround, cash comes first: cut costs immediately, reach break-even, and stop the burn.
The operating standard is AI First. Everyone uses AI for everything, not dabbling. AI is the future of work, and the quicker the organization gets accustomed to it, the better.
Growth is unit economics-governed: LTV:CAC is a hard constraint, ICP is precise, and embedded payments create compounding moats. In vertical SaaS, the company that becomes the system of record wins, then expands wallet share from that position.
I run the business in Founder Mode, not Manager Mode. Without pressure, people revert to the mean. If pressure does not exist, I create it through standards, scoreboards, and real accountability. I work with PE-backed boards to build value that holds up under institutional scrutiny.
