The reality you're working against
CS software is a crowded category with nearly identical feature pages. Differentiation lives in narrative, not in another color-coded health score.
Three traps that keep growth flat
Long sales cycles into committee buyers who've seen every demo before.
Buyer fatigue with generic 'reduce churn' messaging that all sounds alike.
Internal CSMs drowning in busywork that should be automated.
Three pillars, working together
Fractional CMO & Positioning
Embedded GTM leadership that sharpens your narrative, ICP, and channel strategy, built around the realities of your category.
AI Automation Systems
I design and deploy AI agents and workflows that take busywork off your team and multiply results across the funnel.
Ongoing Execution
Not a deck and a goodbye. I stay embedded, run the systems, train the team, and iterate on what's moving pipeline.
Tangible deliverables
- Repositioned narrative framework and messaging house
- Campaign system targeting RevOps and CS leadership
- Internal AI ops layer for marketing and CS workflows
- Sales and CSM enablement built on the new narrative
AI agents I deploy

Best fit profile
$2M–$30M ARR. Typically has a VP of Marketing but no CMO.
"Stop selling another dashboard. I position your CS platform as the system behind your customers' best renewals, and build the AI agents that make your own CS team 3x more efficient while you do it."

The objections I hear most often before a discovery call, answered up front.
Most agencies focus on demand-gen tactics. I rebuild positioning, run the AI ops layer that 3x's your CSMs, and stay embedded long enough for the CMO hire to inherit a system that already works.
Yes, that's the whole point. I pull the narrative away from 'health scores' toward customer revenue outcomes, and arm CSMs and AEs with AI-built renewal briefs that make expansion obvious.
Yes. I work with the founder or VP Marketing as the day-to-day partner and spec the eventual CMO hire. Most clients run with me for 6–9 months before bringing the full-time leader on.
Account-prep, QBR drafting, and renewal-risk summaries usually save each CSM 6–10 hours a week within the first month, and the savings keep growing as more workflows ship.
