Testimonials
I’ve worked with countless amazing companies.
“Hire Jeff. Thank me later.”
I've seen firsthand Jeff’s transformative impact on clients at an agency where we both held senior roles. He's not just a skilled marketer (although he is), he’s a game changer. Jeff approaches problems with both sides of his brain, understanding clearly what works and what doesn’t. He’s also got a knack for turning would-be challenges into opportunities.

“Jeff gets it.”
In my entrepreneurial world, you need someone who can think strategically and act decisively. Jeff understood the challenges we were facing and jumped right in to help. His approach was a game-changer, helping to transform our new event that nobody had ever heard of, to a sold-out/waitlisted success.

Tech Founders

SMBs

PE and VC Leaders

Not “just another consultant.”
Fractional CMO leadership built to drive growth, not just send a pretty deck and vanish.
Your Growth Partner, Not a Consultant
Big goals can feel out of reach when your marketing isn’t driving results. To achieve them for you, I don’t just advise. I roll up my sleeves.
Strategic Leadership, Not Just Marketing
I bring a business-first lens to every engagement. I align go-to-market with revenue, profitability, and long-term growth. I adapt quickly based on data, traction, and market shifts — from early traction to scalable growth. I draw a direct line between marketing investment and revenue impact, and help companies grow efficiently by focusing resources where they create compounding value.
Deep Industry Fluency
I speak both AI and semiconductor, hardware and software, so I speak the language of your buyers.
Foundational and Translatable Expertise
My work with leaders like Arm, Renesas, and other high-tech companies puts me at the core of technologies that design and power AI. Many AI breakthroughs depend on advanced semiconductors and precision manufacturing — areas where I bring real-world experience. I understand the full ecosystem behind innovation.
Growth Strategy and Scale Experience
You’re not buying theory. You’re getting tested strategy. I’ve helped companies move from traction to acceleration with clear positioning, revenue-aligned GTM, and leadership that scales with you.
Agile Executive Leadership
I offer flexible engagements that adjust as you grow. As a fractional CMO, I deliver senior-level strategy without full-time overhead. I don’t just fill a seat. I build what’s next.
Less risk than a full-time exec. More traction than an agency.

Digital Transformation: $2M+ Growth from New Division
Most teams think their marketing isn’t working.
The real problem? A go-to-market strategy that hasn’t evolved with the business or the market.If you’ve outgrown consultants, but aren’t ready for a full-time executive, I’m the one you call.
A Few Questions I Usually Get
-
If you're early-stage or scaling fast, you likely don't need — or can’t afford — a $250K+ full-time hire. I bring senior-level strategy without the long ramp-up, overhead, or risk of a bad exec hire. You get momentum, not headcount.
-
Compared to what? A $250K hire you’ll onboard for 6 months? A patchwork of agencies pulling in different directions?
I cost less than a full-time exec - and move faster than most teams can staff up.
You get clarity, leadership, and execution - without paying for a title or bureaucracy. -
Most of those people are great, but they're built for brand refreshes, 12-month roadmaps, and managing 50+ person teams.
’m built for a very specific moment in a company’s growth:
When you’re scaling fast, need clarity and traction, but aren’t ready for a full-time executive yet.
I help AI and semiconductor teams get GTM momentum, fast - aligning product, marketing, and revenue to work in sync. Not just decks and direction. Actual lift-off.
-
Yes. I know how to translate complex products into clear, credible go-to-market strategies that resonate with customers, partners, and investors.
-
I lead your marketing function: positioning, messaging, GTM strategy, growth roadmap, and team direction. I step in like a head of marketing, not just some consultant.
-
Yes. Most early teams lack senior marketing leadership. I give your internal team or agency clarity, focus, and strategic direction — so they execute better and faster.
-
We define goals up front. I create the plan and report weekly. If something isn’t moving the needle, we change it. You’ll always know what’s working and what’s next.
“I don’t have to second guess you. You already know what to do.”
