I make money and win awards: $32MM+ documented revenue impact across Omnicom, Epsilon, Next15. Serial founder who builds what disrupts industries.
Built three startups that shouldn't exist: Quasi Records (2009-11) - Co-founded out of Business School to disrupt music by giving it away free while monetizing everything else. Music execs
prioritized iTunes sales. We prioritized the future. Built it into something real enough that Britney Spears still follows me. Wool & Water (2020-?) Disrupted retail's biggest problem: physical stores hold 10% of SKUs, online has 50% cart abandonment. Built AR/VR/smart mirror technology as the bridge. Hit $4.5M valuation after seed round. Multiple innovation awards followed. Agenci3 (2024-Current) First AI agent engineered specifically to win state and local elections. The story is being written now.
Corporate track record matters too: Built Aspen's social media practice—Epsilon acquired them citing it as the key reason. Built data analytics capability—Harvard Business Review called it best in class. Named Top 50 Chief Analytics Officer in under three years. Trusted by Google, Lyft, AT&T, Western Union, Boston Beer, Discover for initiatives that move markets. The pattern: See what's broken. Build what others can't or won't. Scale it. Generate returns.
Mentored dozens who became executives. Harvard keeps recruiting me for its innovation cohorts. There's a reason.
