Experience

Founder & Head of Sales

Courtix — High-Ticket Technology Engagements

2018 – 2026

Self-employed sales agent: I source, sell and grow premium technology engagements with founders and executives, end to end over the phone.

  • Closed $1M+ in contracts including multiple six-figure deals, owning every stage from first call to signature to expansion.
  • Landed a US clinical laboratory network with an entry project of a few thousand dollars; diagnosed the wider operational problem and expanded the account into a six-figure, multi-year engagement spanning two mission-critical platforms.
  • Won and grew engagements across healthtech, fintech and media by anchoring every proposal in measurable business outcomes — auditability, revenue protection, executive time recovered — rather than technical features.

CTO

Localyser — Consultative Engagement

Aug 2021 – Feb 2022
  • A textbook consultative close: brought in to fix one urgent API issue, I diagnosed it as a symptom of a deeper process problem and converted a one-off fix into a 7-month leadership engagement covering processes, recruitment and team performance.

CTO & Intrapreneur

Financer.com — Multi-Market Fintech

Sep 2019 – Dec 2023
  • Pitched leadership on, and drove, new product lines to diversify company revenue (intrapreneur track).
  • Anchored my value in business outcomes: took the CEO from 50+ hours/month of technical firefighting to zero, redirecting that time into growing the company — the same outcome-first framing I use to close deals.

Founder

The Thought Engineer — Technology Consulting

2012 – 2018
  • Sold and delivered 25+ consulting engagements to successful entrepreneurs across finance, marketing, ecommerce and health — every deal positioned on the business bottleneck removed, never on the technology used.

Education

BS, Computer Science — Notre Dame University (NDU), 2003–2007
