    The Challenge

    IoT hardware company stuck in a niche refrigeration-monitoring positioning with a small TAM. Needed to redefine GTM, build B2B demand from scratch, and credibly tell a Series A story to investors—on a lean team.

    The Approach

    Converted from advisory client to full-time Head of Growth. Led the strategic pivot from refrigeration monitoring to grid-responsive energy management—unlocking a fundamentally larger addressable market. Built B2B demand generation infrastructure end-to-end: ABM, funnel optimization, enterprise sales enablement.
