When to reach out

If any of this sounds familiar, we should talk.

Forecasts stop lining up across teams. Pricing decisions feel reactive. Sales, ops, and finance are working from different assumptions. Revenue feels harder to predict month to month.

These are usually system problems, not people problems.

Start with a diagnostic

Most engagements begin with a focused session to identify what's actually breaking down.

What I do

I work with digital publishers when revenue stops behaving the way it should.

My role is to diagnose where the breakdown is, isolate the real constraint, and help fix it without unnecessary disruption.

Most engagements begin with a short diagnostic to create clarity before changes are made.

Services

The diagnostic typically points to one or more of the following areas.

Revenue diagnostics

A focused review of pricing, forecasting, workflows, and decision logic to identify where revenue systems are breaking down.

Pricing and execution systems

Fixing pricing, deal logic, and execution issues so margin and yield behave more predictably across direct and programmatic revenue.

Revenue operations alignment

Aligning sales, ops, and finance around the same numbers. Improving planning, forecasting, and day to day execution.

Systems and automation

Hands on support across ad tech, CRM, OMS, and planning workflows. Automation where it removes friction and improves clarity.

Not every engagement includes all of the above.

Most recently: VP of Revenue Operations, Penske Media Corporation

My work today focuses on pricing, revenue operations, and execution systems. I use automation where it improves outcomes, but the goal is always the same. Clearer decisions, cleaner execution, and revenue teams that can trust their numbers.

If revenue is getting harder to explain or teams are no longer aligned on why numbers look the way they do, we should talk.
