Detailed info

I have 25+ years experience as an intrapreneur building new businesses in large companies (Oracle, SAP, and Google), and in my personal time, consulting high growth start-ups as a board advisor to help them build their GTM strategies and capabilities. While I’ve been in large companies throughout my career, all of my roles have focused on bringing existing products to new markets with limited resources. As a channel leader, I helped Google scale its ChromeOS business in education to become the global leader in K-12 by growing the channel business 100% in 2014 and 46% in 2015, and I built communities of education innovators through the Google Edu Think Tank. I also created breakbeatcode, a self-funded program to teach coding through music production to students in underserved communities. So far, we have reached 6000 students in 20 countries around the globe, and we are formally incorporating it as a non-profit to further scale. I work with high growth companies who need a GTM leader/ advisor with experience in building high performance teams with rigorous processes for hypergrowth, creating businesses through new channels, and building new partner ecosystems from the ground up.
