I like to investigate. As the son of two former Brooklyn D.A.’s, it’s in my nature to interrogate problems and find truths that offer solutions—solutions that increase a company’s bottom line, better attract new customers, or get ahead of a changing marketplace. And as a business development leader at advertising agencies like Publicis or Night After Night, I’ve accomplished this by trusting my gut, verifying with data, and quickly adapting to new insights.

I’ve enjoyed working in, and learning about, a wide range of categories, from Automotive to CPG to Tech to Entertainment over the past decade.

All of my personal and professional experiences have taught me:

I can successfully grow a company’s profits, bringing in over $70mm in net new revenue for agencies large and small:

I love to win, but helping the team win brings me greater joy
I can quarterback winning global, multi-office pitch teams, or thrive as a one-person inbound/outbound team, owning end-to-end proposal development
I excel at uncovering hidden commercial opportunities and finding product-market fit

I can tell a compelling story, helping brands or companies better position themselves to consumers or within a market:

I like to do my own research, from the macro context down to getting up close and personal with end consumers to find out what really matters to them
I enjoy distilling complex concepts or value propositions for broader audiences
I develop processes and content to clearly convey how a brand should look or communicate in any medium

I am a lifelong learner, constantly educating myself and sharpening my skills:

I am always immersing myself in something new (hello, Coursera or Reddit rabbit holes)
I focus on making high-quality, highly-informed decisions
I apply my learnings widely, investing in projects I find appealing

I love to meet new people and hear new perspectives. Reach out if you want to talk tech, cryptocurrency, cracking a brand or audience challenge, or the Knicks.
