I’ve spent the last 15+ years helping SaaS companies scale from scrappy to sustainable. So, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to build revenue engines that actually work.

Currently I’m the CEO of Elly.ai, where we’re rethinking how recruiters hire with the help of AI. We’re helping recruiting teams break free from backlogs, manual work, and process bottlenecks by putting AI to work in the right places.

Before Elly, I spent the better part of two decades helping SaaS companies grow:

➡️ As CRO at Typeform, I lead sales, CS, and RevOps through a pivotal brand transition

➡️ At Shogun, I served as COO & President, where I overhauled operations and led revenue during a hypergrowth phase

➡️ I was VP of Sales at Trello, building and scaling the sales org through its acquisition by Atlassian, where I stayed on to lead Global EDR Sales

➡️ I’ve also advised and sat on boards for companies like amberSearch, GuideCX, and Passion.io, helping founders get clarity on what to build and how to sell it

I love solving hard problems with great people. And I think AI should make us more human, not less.

If you're working on anything in SaaS, AI, HR tech, or GTM strategy, let’s connect. Always happy to trade notes.
