I partner with early-stage AI startups to accelerate revenue through technical go-to-market execution. Working directly with AI engineers and technical teams, I help refine products for market fit, validate enterprise use cases through hands-on POCs, and drive faster time-to-revenue.

My approach bridges engineering and commercial execution: I understand model capabilities, speak the language of technical teams, and translate that into enterprise value propositions that close deals. From product positioning with founding engineers to connecting teams with strategic VCs and enterprise partners, I help startups move from technical innovation to revenue-generating deployments.
