Robert C.

At Rally, I helped grow partnership-driven revenue from 30% to over 80% of total revenue and built an ecosystem that grew revenue 15x. At Delivery, pilots I led produced top-5% revenue locations and expanded to 1,000+ merchants. I work with founders and operators who have traction but no repeatable system behind it — replacing manual, inconsistent business development with repeatable revenue engines built on stronger GTM strategy, partnership design, and AI-assisted research and prioritization. My background spans more than 20 years across institutional finance, startups, and consulting. I began my career as an Assistant Vice President at The Bank of New York before moving into the NYC startup ecosystem, where I helped companies like Rally and Delivery professionalize their business development, partnerships, and go-to-market strategy. Clients typically hire me when: — Revenue depends too heavily on the founder — Partnerships or outbound feel manual and fragile — Growth is happening but the system behind it is weak — They need senior judgment before scaling execution — They want AI to create leverage, not noise What I do best: — GTM strategy for zero-to-one and post-traction companies — Partnership strategy and ecosystem development — Business development and outbound system design — Revenue architecture, KPI frameworks, and operating cadence — AI-assisted research, prospecting, scoring, and prioritization — Strategic advisory at founder inflection points I'm not a generic automation consultant. I use AI where it actually improves commercial performance — reducing manual research, improving prioritization, tightening outreach relevance, and helping teams focus on the highest-value opportunities. I combine senior business judgment with hands-on operating clarity. I'm direct, commercially minded, and focused on building systems your team can run after I leave. My goal is not to create dependency — it's to leave behind a stronger revenue engine. Best fit for companies already generating revenue. If you're still pre-product or pre-traction, there are better early-stage fits.
