Bio

The cheapest reach you’ll ever buy is the reach you own. That’s what I believe in and build with AI Influencers. 15 years in product marketing and growth across heavy-tech: fintech, cybersecurity, web3, gametech, with two $20M+ exits (cybersecurity and algo trading, both acquired by US big tech). Now I run an AI-influencer lab. We build owned content channels for brand: talking-head AI creators on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, where audience and IP stay with the brand, accounts grow on organic. - 200+ active AI-influencer accounts - 300M+ organic reach in 5 months, $0 CAC - ~6X ROI vs one-off influencer integrations What I go deep on: - Content strategy and Organic distribution at scale (next-gen influence game) - GTM for complex products: fintech, AI, gaming, web3; into tier-1 markets, US especially - Content as a growth asset - Marketing and sales automation: pipeline, cold outbound, lifecycle systems that run without you

Expertise


  • Artificial intelligence

    AI is the engine behind everything I build with teams now: from generating and running 160+ content accounts to AI-native marketing and sales automation. I can help you separate real AI leverage from the hype and find the one or two places it actually moves your numbers.

  • Branding

    From token-swap to global PR at World Economy Forum in Davos - I’ve led brand transformation for complex products and run collaborations alongside major brands. I focus on building a brand voice that scales across owned channels, so growth doesn’t depend on borrowing someone else’s audience.

  • Content marketing

    My core approach: content should be an asset you own, not an ad you rent. I build organic content engines: currently 160+ accounts producing short-form video at scale, where reach accumulates over time instead of one-offs with influencers. Happy to pull apart your content economics and show where the leverage is.

  • Demand generation

    Predictable pipeline through a mix of organic distribution and cold outbound systems. I’ll help you design a demand engine that doesn’t collapse the moment you pause spend - including how owned AI-creator channels can feed top-of-funnel at near-zero marginal cost.

  • Go to market strategy

    I’ve built GTM for fintech, cybersecurity, Web3 and gametech products, including launches into the US and two $20M+ exits. I cover positioning, messaging, ICP, channel choice and the first-100-customers track. If your product is technically hard to explain, that’s exactly where I’m most useful.

  • Growth marketing

    15 years scaling growth for heavy-tech and consumer products, from idea to launch to exit. My bias is toward owned, compounding channels over rented attention: most recently 300M+ organic reach in 5 months at zero CAC. I’ll help you find the channel that compounds for you, not just the one that’s trending.

  • Influencer Marketing

    I’ll be honest about where one-off influencer deals work and where they quietly burn budget. My alternative: owned AI-influencer channels where the audience and IP stay with you. It's ~6X ROI versus typical paid integrations in our data. If you’re spending on creators, this is the conversation to have.

  • Marketing automation

    I ran a projects with 570+ weekly automated communication campaigns across 50+ granular target groups, that increased LTV by 145% in 8 months. Tools across Zapier, Intercom, Smartlead and more, plus AI-native workflows (Claude, Codex, etc). I can help you replace manual, fragile processes with something that runs itself.

  • Product launches

    I worked or advised 7+ heavy-tech startups, launched 20+ product and/or pivots and supported two $10M+ startups' exits. I'm controlling product messaging and collateral, inbound and outbound communication, researching personas and user stories, product value prop, and end-to-end product positioning strategy - the full thing. I know how to build the hand-in-hand synergy between the Sales, Product, Partnerships, Customer Success, and Marketing teams to meet product goals & business KPIs.

  • Product marketing

    Senior cross-functional product marketer: value prop, positioning, personas, user stories, and the synergy between sales, product and marketing to actually hit business KPIs. I’ve launched 10+ products and pivots and advised 7+ heavy-tech startups.

  • Sales

    I lead sales and built the cold-outbound pipeline for 10+ products: segmented sequences, holding-level targeting, the full thing. I’ll help you go from scattered outreach to a system that books pipeline-ready calls.
