Leading US market expansion for a K-8 math enrichment program — first hire focused on non-Chinese customer acquisition. Built the full growth engine from nothing.
I build the
growth engine.
GTM operator with 9+ years taking companies from zero to market. I find the first customers, build the repeatable motion, then scale it — across B2C and B2B, across geographies.
How I operate
Find the wedge
Identify the one beachhead that unlocks everything else
Do it unscalably
Manual first. Understand every variable before automating
Build the machine
Systematize what works. Eliminate everything else
GTM from the ground up
The early, messy phase — where there's no playbook yet and someone has to figure it out.
Market entry
First-mover analysis, beachhead identification, ICP definition, and channel strategy for entering new geographies or verticals from zero.
0 → 1Demand generation
Paid acquisition (Meta, GDN, SEM), community seeding, and ambassador programs — built to acquire with measurable CAC from day one.
AcquisitionAI-powered sales
Designing and shipping omnichannel AI agents (email, SMS, voice, WhatsApp) that automate outreach without killing conversion quality.
AutomationTrial-to-conversion
Onboarding flows, nurture sequences, and pricing architecture that move prospects from interested to paying — and paying to renewing.
ConversionGrowth infrastructure
CRM setup, attribution modeling, analytics dashboards, and the data plumbing that makes growth repeatable and measurable.
OpsM&A & partnerships
Evaluating acquisition targets, structuring cross-sell partnerships, and scoping deals that extend distribution without rebuilding it.
StrategyResults that compound
Where I've operated
From enterprise to startup, from individual operator to full P&L ownership.
Joined BrightChamps as part of the Edjust acquisition. Built their academic subjects vertical (Math, Science, English) from scratch as a new business unit.
Founded a multi-channel lead acquisition platform connecting EdTech companies to high-intent student leads across Instagram, YouTube, and direct channels.
Five years building Cuemath's international business from the ground up — starting with first pilot markets and scaling to a $30M ARR operation across 10+ countries.
What I work with
Channels, platforms, and frameworks I use to build and scale growth engines.
Thinking out loud
Growth and GTM principles from the field — what works, what doesn't, and why the conventional wisdom is usually late.
Why doing unscalable things first is the only real growth strategy
Every playbook you've read was written after the company figured it out. Here's what the messy first chapter actually looks like.
AIBuilding an AI sales agent for $0 in infrastructure costs
How we shipped AdamsAI — an omnichannel outreach agent on LangGraph + Twilio — without a dedicated engineering team or a big budget.
GTMThe hyperlocal playbook: crack one zip code before going wide
Zip-code level targeting, community seeding, and parent ambassadors — the unglamorous reality of building a local network effect from nothing.
