About

Operator first, strategist second.

I've spent my career inside the mechanics of sales and distribution, designing operating structures and finding the levers that move conversion at scale. My background is in regulated financial services, where trust, compliance, and speed all have to coexist.

I started as a sales agent, earned my way into management, and eventually led one of the larger inside sales organizations in the D2C insurance industry through a public offering. When that chapter closed, I joined Steadily at the seed stage to do it again from scratch, building the sales organization and growing into the CGO role as the company scaled through multiple funding rounds.

I'm drawn to businesses where distribution is the moat and operational discipline is what separates winners from everyone else.

Experience

I joined Steadily at the seed stage as VP of Sales and built the sales organization from the ground up. Over nearly five years I grew with the company through its Series A and B funding rounds, taking on increasing responsibility across sales leadership. Today, as Chief Growth Officer, I lead revenue growth across direct-to-consumer, strategic partnerships, and independent agency distribution channels.


Prior to Steadily, I led growth at one of the nation's largest D2C insurance agencies, working my way from individual contributor to leading the entire sales department. I launched a new line of business from scratch, scaled it to $50M in annualized premium, and ultimately oversaw the company's sales organization through its IPO.

Perspectives

What I'm thinking about.

Why most insurtech companies underinvest in sales infrastructure
The product-first bias in venture-backed insurance companies leaves growth teams underpowered at exactly the wrong moment.
What managing a large-scale sales organization taught me about conversion
At scale, the aggregate effect of small improvements in talk time, lead routing, and operating discipline compounds into something real.
The landlord's insurance gap: what carriers still get wrong
Most landlord insurance products were designed around homeowner assumptions. The economics of the rental property owner are fundamentally different.
