Versatile startup consultant - can help with operations, customer success, sales, marketing and fundraising!
I've had the opportunity to work at a variety of startups in a variety of industries - I even worked at Y Combinator for 2 years! Because I've had the chance to wear many hats, I can help with almost any non-technical project, whether it's coming up with a product roadmap, a customer acquisition strategy or just doing cold outreach. I also offer founder coaching services via thescrappyoperator.com. Note that job history on profile is partial - see Linkedin for full history.
