I build what I know.
20 years selling technology. Now building the tools I wish I had.
About
I spent two decades in enterprise sales — carrying quota at Google Cloud and Salesforce, closing over $100M in deals across AI, cloud, and SaaS. I've lived every stage of the GTM motion from the inside: greenfield territories, seven-figure expansions, boardroom closes, and every brutal Q4 in between.
In 2026 I walked away from a million-dollar year to build something I couldn't stop thinking about.
I'm not a VC-backed founder with a pitch deck and a timeline. I'm a seller who got tired of waiting for someone else to build the tools that actually help AEs do their jobs — and decided to build them myself.
That's Mangosteen Studio. And this is the journal of how it's going.
The Studio
Mangosteen Studio
AI product lab for GTM teams and beyond
We build at the intersection of go-to-market intelligence, prosumer productivity, and consumer mobile. The philosophy is simple: build what you know, ship it free, grow it into something real. Distribution first. Always.
Writing
Advising
Selective startup advisory & AE performance coaching.
In addition to my role at Mangosteen Studio, I work with startups on an advisory basis, helping them form their go-to-market strategy. I also work with high-performing AEs on a very limited basis to level up their game.
