The human behind the levers
The space between marketing and product. Between a promising idea and something that works. Between “we should use AI” and a workflow that’s actually useful.
My experience spans growth leadership at Kabbage and Greenlight, and VP of Product at American Express. Now I bring those perspectives together at GrowthLever.

A little clarity
Connects growth priorities across marketing, product, and measurement, then helps the team turn those priorities into experiments and operating habits. At GrowthLever, the starting point is the business constraint, not a predetermined channel.
That’s a useful way to scope a conversation. We can identify a repeatable task, define what a good result looks like, and decide where a human should review the work.
No. Product activation, conversion, retention, channel strategy, and measurement all shape growth. The work connects them to the problem your team needs to solve.
Share what you’re trying to grow and where you’re stuck. We’ll discuss whether a focused project, advisory relationship, or embedded engagement makes sense. Scope, timing, and fees are agreed before work begins.
