I've built, sold, and operated. Now I help others do the same.

20+ years building software companies. An 8-figure exit. Now I help PE firms and mid-market companies turn AI into real business value.

From operator to advisor.

I co-founded Netrics, an enterprise machine learning company, and ran it as CEO for 10 years. We built ML products before most people knew what machine learning was. We sold to a public company in an 8-figure exit.

That decade taught me how all the pieces connect. Technology, revenue, and operations aren't separate problems. They're one system. Most advisors see one piece. I see the whole board.

I didn't just set strategy. I built every function from scratch: engineering, sales, marketing, operations. I hired the teams. I closed the deals. I sat across from acquirers when it was time to sell.

After the exit, I founded Zaruko to help other companies navigate the challenges I know firsthand.

Operator. Revenue leader. Technologist.

I've been all three. Not in sequence. All at once.

Operator

10 years as CEO. Built a company from two founders to a successful exit. I know what it takes to run a business, not just advise one.

Revenue Leader

I've personally led enterprise sales cycles worth millions. Pipeline, pricing, procurement, negotiation. Closed 7-figure deals. Built sales teams. This isn't theory for me.

Technologist

PhD in Computer Science from Princeton. I've been building and deploying ML/AI products since the early 2000s. When I evaluate technology, I go deep: architecture, technical debt, AI/ML capabilities, team quality. I see what generalist advisors miss.
