About
Executive leadership, delivered as execution.
As Founder & Managing Partner of DT Growth Partners, I help founders, entrepreneurs, and growth-stage companies scale by combining C-suite leadership with hands-on operational work. My background spans public and private companies in nutraceuticals, consumer products, manufacturing, retail, and emerging technologies.
I bring deep capital markets experience — IPO/uplist readiness, SEC/FINRA interfaces, M&A execution and integration, GMP manufacturing expansion, and omnichannel go-to-market across DTC, Amazon, retail, and B2B. I have a proven record driving step-change revenue growth, building high-velocity marketing engines, and negotiating accretive partnerships that unlock capacity and margin.
At my core I am a problem solver. I enjoy partnering with leadership teams to turn business challenges into opportunities — building stronger companies, developing winning strategies, and executing initiatives that create measurable business value.
