Growth Lead | Lifecycle, Retention & Monetization (Subscriptions & Apps)
Bio
I’m a Growth Lead working on lifecycle, retention, and monetization for consumer apps. Most of my work is pretty straightforward: I look at where users drop off, where revenue leaks, and fix those points. That usually means onboarding flows, paywalls, pricing, and winbacks. I’ve worked with apps like Lingvano, BetterSleep, Pixelcut, Quittr, and Cheaterbuster. Different products, but the same core problems show up again and again: low trial conversion, weak onboarding, retention flattening too early. Some recent outcomes: Improved trial to paid conversion by ~20–30% through paywall and messaging changes Increased early retention by ~10–15% by fixing onboarding and first-session experience Built winback flows recovering ~8–12% of churned users Through Tangent, I’ve also contributed to $50M+ in incremental revenue across subscription apps. I usually work closely with product and data teams, running experiments and iterating fast. Nothing fancy, just consistent testing and fixing what actually matters. If you’re dealing with: low conversion retention dropping early lifecycle not really driving revenue happy to take a look and figure it out together.

Pricing strategy
I help subscription apps build pricing strategies that increase conversion, revenue, and ARPU. I work across plan structure, free trials, discounts, paywall positioning, and offer design, then validate decisions through experiments. The goal is to find the right balance between getting more users to subscribe and maximizing long-term revenue.
