I don't just build pipeline. I build the machine.

9+ years turning partner ecosystems and outbound strategy into real revenue. Former Shopify. 193% quota in a single quarter. $550k pipeline in 60 days. Now looking for the next problem worth solving.

The Story
Built for
the messy
middle.

I started as a founder — built a pet accessories brand from scratch on Shopify, figured out TikTok before most brands did, and landed a dog video at 8.4M views. No agency. No budget. Just instinct, speed, and a willingness to ship.

That founder DNA followed me into every corporate role I've taken since. At Shopify, I wasn't just managing relationships — I was building co-selling frameworks, enabling partners with AI tooling, and contributing to deals at enterprise scale. One partner win I supported closed a seven-figure scope of work for a 140-location Canadian fashion retailer.

"The companies I've helped grow didn't have a playbook. I had to write it."

When Fenix Commerce brought me in as Head of Growth, there was no GTM motion, no ICP definition, no outbound infrastructure. In my first two months I rebuilt all of it — and closed $25k USD in ARR while generating $550k in qualified pipeline.

I'm now actively looking for the next chapter. I'm bilingual (English & French), based in Calgary, and deeply embedded in how AI is reshaping GTM, sales enablement and partner ecosystems. If you're building something that needs structure, velocity and a partner-led growth motion — let's talk.

The System Behind the Results

How I actually manage
a book of business.

Most people manage accounts reactively. I built a system where AI does the heavy lifting on intelligence — so I can spend my time on relationships, strategy, and closing. Here's the exact flow.

Phase 01 — Data Intake
Phase 01 · Data Intake
Everything flows in.
Before I can manage a book of business, I need a complete picture. I import every relevant data source into a centralized intelligence layer — clients, agencies, SOWs, meetings, and live market signals.
🏢
Brands & Client Data
Full client roster with performance data, tech stack, order history, and relationship context
🤝
Agency Partners + SOWs
Active scopes of work, WIP, store performance metrics, and contract status

AI-Generated Trend Reports

Phase 02 · AI Processing
Raw data becomes signal.
The data doesn't just sit there. Agents scrape, sort, and summarize it into structured intelligence — so by the time I open my laptop, I already know what matters today.
Automated Trend Scraping
Agents monitor LinkedIn, G2, and industry events — delivering a daily briefing without lifting a finger
🎯
ICP Identification
AI cross-references all client data to identify patterns — which verticals convert, which personas respond
📊
Account Prioritization
Scoring model evaluates volume, upsell potential, and sales cycle — surfaces who needs attention before they ask

Phase 03 · The Intelligence Hub
Notebook LM as the brain.
Notebook LM is where everything converges — a knowledge engine that synthesizes your entire book of business into a searchable, queryable intelligence layer.

Full Context Retention
Every client conversation, SOW, and trend report — queryable instantly before any call

The system doesn't just analyze — it produces. Everything from onboarding sites to competitive one-pagers, with my voice and strategy baked in.

Phase 05 · Referral Engine
The system that compounds.
Referrals are the highest-trust, lowest-cost pipeline source — but most people leave them to chance. I turn them into a managed, automated growth loop.

What I Actually Bring
01
I build things that weren't there
At Fenix, there was no GTM motion. I created one. At Shopify, there was no partner playbook for AI enablement. I wrote it. I'm energized by blank pages, not intimidated by them.
02
I sell, and I teach others to sell
I've closed deals and I've enabled partner networks to close deals. The ability to move between individual contributor and cross-functional leader is rare — I do both natively.
03
I speak AI without the hype
I've been in the trenches with AI tooling in GTM for years — not as a buzzword, but as actual infrastructure. Apollo, Browse.ai, Notebook LM, agents, MCPs. I use what works.
04
Founder instincts, operator execution
I've run a business solo. I understand how decisions at the top compound into outcomes at the bottom. I bring urgency, ownership, and a strong BS filter.

Open to Opportunities

Let's build
something real.

I'm looking for my next role in GTM, Partnerships, or Growth — ideally at a SaaS or eCommerce company that wants someone who can build, not just manage.
