what i'm working on
Head of Commerce
I joined the leading birthday mobile app, which helps tens of thousands of people become that friend who never forgets a birthday, to build its gifting marketplace, sourcing and managing key relationships.
I also lead organic growth efforts with an emphasis on search engine and app store optimization. I increased organic search traffic 17x.
Especially New Founders
68% of all online activity begins with a search, which means major search engines are the gateway for how the world perceives you. I help people who are building companies, launching a speaking career, or generally trying to stand out, to make sure they can be found online. Learn more at FounderORM.com.
