Forward-Deployed Revenue Operations

I build the revenue engine your plan promised.

Revenue should grow faster than the team that runs it. I embed in your company, build the engine in production — on your tools, your data — train your people, and leave them owning it. Not a strategy deck. A working system.

You own it
every report, tool, and playbook is yours to keep — nothing rented, nothing locked in

You don’t need another strategy. You need the engine built.

You’re past $10M and growing. The plan is right — but the revenue engine behind it runs on spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and a few people working nights. That gets you to the next board meeting. It doesn’t get you to $50M without doubling the team.

A working system your team runs — not a deck, not a dependency on me.

I close that gap. Every stage of your funnel gets measured, every tool gets connected, and all your revenue numbers land in one place the whole team trusts. Then I train your people to run it — so the system stays after I leave.

How I work

I work inside your company

Not a consultant who hands you a deck and leaves. I’m in your systems every week, building alongside your sales, marketing, and customer teams — and training them as each piece goes live, so the capability stays.

Built for AI from day one

Most companies bolt AI onto tools that were never built for it. I build the opposite: clean data, connected tools, and processes ready for automation from the start — so the system gets stronger as you grow, not more tangled.

One destination, flexible path

The endpoint is fixed; the order isn’t. We tackle whatever moves revenue fastest at each point, re‑sequencing with your leadership as we go. The milestones hold either way.

How the pieces connect — data flows one way, decisions flow back

01

Your revenue tools

CRM, marketing, web, outbound — chosen so they actually talk to each other

02

One source of truth

Every revenue number in one place the whole team trusts

03

The Operator View

What’s working, what’s not, and where to act — reviewed weekly

04

AI on top

Automation that works because the foundation underneath it is clean

One funnel, measured end to end — first touch to expansion

The Bow‑Tie maps the whole journey: leads narrow down to the deal you win, then widen back out as customers onboard, succeed, and expand. Every stage is defined and tracked in your CRM — so you always know where deals stand and where they stall. The right side gets measured as carefully as the left, because keeping and growing customers is where the real money is.

Operator View — Preview

Production vs. goal vs. attainment — trending weekly

A live view of every rep, region, and channel — pulled from one source of truth the whole team trusts. Each deal is tagged by who sourced it: marketing or sales. (Sample data shown.)

What I build

01

Funnel & Stage Architecture

Bow‑Tie stage definitions with crisp exit criteria, designed from the customer back and implemented in the CRM — stage hit dates, hit flags, and deal amounts captured at every transition. The discipline that keeps every downstream report trustworthy.

Production CRM stage schema + definitions adopted by sales leadership.

02

Revenue Reporting & Views

A single source of truth: pipeline generation, coverage by close quarter, goal attainment, kill‑code analysis, NRR/GRR. Includes a reverse revenue model tying board‑level targets back to the funnel volumes required to hit them, by quarter.

Live executive reporting — the Operator View — certified and reviewed weekly.

03

Pipeline Generation

SDR process design and instrumentation: account prioritization, outbound tooling, sequence and territory structure. Inbound speed‑to‑lead instrumented from day one — the highest‑leverage velocity metric in the funnel.

Documented SDR playbook + fully instrumented outbound stack.

04

Web & Content Engine

Site performance, conversion paths, technical and AI‑era SEO, and a sustainable content production process that develops leads instead of just publishing.

Prioritized web roadmap shipped + an operating content engine.

05

Attribution & Measurement

Channel‑level cost per lead stage and closed revenue across organic, paid, events, referral, email, and prospecting. Reported honestly — multiple models side by side, ranges over false precision — plus LTV/CAC over time.

Channel performance reporting finance can trust for budget allocation.

06

Sales Adoption & Win/Loss

Stage‑aligned selling materials and a standing win/loss program feeding back into messaging, qualification, and product. None of it sticks unless the team runs it — so I build the partnership that earns that buy‑in.

Stage‑aligned sales library + operating win/loss cadence, adopted.

Case studies

Selected work — the system applied to a specific problem, with the outcome it produced.

Proof

Every component of this playbook was built and run inside real companies — not theorized. Most recently, I bought one and ran it myself.

The playbook, on my own P&L

FLX Local Media

In 2026 I began to operate a New York radio and digital news group — seven stations and a daily news brand. Same playbook: instrument the funnel, sharpen the sales team, segment the market with data, deploy AI across the newsroom and sales. The point isn’t the deck — it’s the number.

Where the playbook was built

Every piece — funnel architecture, the Operator View, pipeline generation, attribution — was built and run inside real companies growing through the $10M–$200M arc:

iSpot.tv Apptio Amperity Microsoft Bank of America

Before SaaS: controlled Bank of America’s $1.5B real‑estate capital budget, managed $350M in construction at Lend Lease, and served as an acoustic‑intelligence analyst in the U.S. Navy submarine force. The full record is on the résumé.

If you’re scaling between $10M and $200M and your revenue engine can’t keep up with the plan, that’s the gap I close. Every engagement has a clear destination and a fixed term — and you own everything I build.
