01 · The short version

When the business is missing a system, I build it.

I am a commercial and operating executive. I led the Americas, Matterport's largest region, as company revenue grew from $46M to $111M through its Nasdaq debut, held P&L for enterprise and business services at Proof (Notarize) as it grew from $18M to $41M, owned the auction marketplace P&L at Xome and led merchant operations at Groupon after it acquired Swarm Mobile.

I have built and led teams of 100 plus across sales, customer success and operations. Today I lead capital initiatives, cross company operating priorities and executive reporting across a 17 company portfolio, with Finance and Marketing reporting to me.

When the business needs a system to scale, I build it: the reporting an owner needs, the lender pipeline a raise needs, the operating workbook that puts projects, debt and cash on one page. Then I run it, hand it off and move to the next gap. I also run Narraitive, where that approach becomes a product.

03 · Capital

The money side is not someone else's job.

Every lender and investor process for a 17 company portfolio, led end to end: targeting, packaging, outreach, negotiation and the record behind it.

Public markets

Led the Americas revenue organization at Matterport through its merger with Gores Holdings VI, announced February 2021: $2.9B pro forma equity value and up to $640M in proceeds, including a $295M PIPE from Tiger Global, Dragoneer, Fidelity, BlackRock funds and Lux Capital. Listed on Nasdaq as MTTR in July 2021. My team carried the largest region through the process.

Lender packages at any size

A $650K SBA 7(a) plus owner equity package and investor deck for a physician led longevity practice: business model, five year operating model and lender package in a week. The same discipline at $650K and at $25M.

Bank debt

A $20M bridge on two energy assets, taken to regional and national banks. Recourse is the first question in every conversation, so it is answered before the deck goes out.

Development credit

A $25M development facility across three projects, in process with multiple lenders at once.

Equity and funds

A $25M investor fund with a preference and an exit premium, modeled and tested before counsel. A $10M project equity raise for a power adjacent data center site.

The package

Decks, one page deal sheets, investment memos, gated data rooms and a 75 name lender CRM, so the next raise starts from a system, not a blank page.

Five steps, every raise

  1. 01

    Target

    The right lenders and investors for the asset, the structure and the recourse.

  2. 02

    Package

    Deck, one page deal sheet, model and data room, built before the first call.

  3. 03

    Outreach

    Sequenced, tracked, followed up. One log of every touch.

  4. 04

    Negotiate

    Recourse, pricing, structure and what to hold back for leverage.

  5. 05

    Record

    One CRM, one log, and the lessons back into the playbook.

The hardest part of any raise is knowing who to call, what to send, in what order and what to hold back for leverage. That process is now a product spec.

04 · Partnerships and channels

Channels that put the product where the customer already is.

At Proof (Notarize) I ran enterprise, business services and strategic partnerships. The channel programs below were the growth engine: national retail, document software and the CRM every sales team lives in. Earlier, the same playbook took an iPad point of sale through Apple's channel and Ingenico's payment network.

05 · What I build

Built by hand. Used on Monday.

Everything below was built by me, hands on, in Lovable, Excel, Claude and code. Names are changed where the work belongs to a company or client. Each card says what it is, why it exists and where it was used.

100+ counts working apps, sites, models, decks and specs, from prototypes to live products. Each card carries its stage.

06 · How I work

Four rules. Every brief, every build.

01

What / So what / Now what / Why now

Every brief, every report, every meeting starts here.

02

Make it real

A plan is not done until it runs in a tool someone uses on Monday.

03

An honest open gap beats false readiness

Blanks are shown, never estimated.

04

Executive compression

The workbook keeps the lineage. The owner gets one screen.

08 · Work with me

Two ways to work with me.

Lead a business

Full time executive roles: COO, CRO, GM or President of a business or a region. Revenue, P&L, capital and the operating system behind them.

Consulting through Narraitive

Fractional operating leadership, operating reviews and capital readiness. I run the weekly operating review, the AI keeps the record.
