Business Development & Chief of Staff | AI, SaaS & Tech | 2x Founder

Two-time startup founder, currently Chief of Staff at a 170-person AI-powered US tech company. I help founders and executives get things done. My job is to take priorities and turn them into completed work — whether that's closing a partnership, building a team, or fixing a broken process. I reduce founder involvement in day-to-day operations so they can focus on what matters. What I do: - Business development - outbound strategy, partnerships, client conversations, deal negotiation - Translate priorities into execution plans and make sure things actually get delivered - Hold teams and contractors accountable to commitments - Coordinate across functions: sales, marketing, ops, product so nothing falls through cracks - Build systems and processes that scale execution without adding bureaucracy - Step in and own special projects when there's no clear owner My background: - Co-founded mobile gaming company (1M players, 166 countries, grew through influencer marketing, managed IP licensing with professional athletes) - Co-founded cybersecurity SaaS startup (reached $1M ARR, raised $4M VC, built team of 17, led operations through 3 funding rounds, closed Fortune 500 clients) - Currently Chief of Staff at Series A AI tech startup (hired 60+ people in 7 months, built HR function from scratch, created operational systems for 170-person remote team) I work well in environments with multiple priorities, shifting timelines, and high standards. I don't need micromanagement. I need clarity on what matters and space to make it happen. If you're a founder or executive in AI or tech who needs someone to turn direction into results, let's talk.
