C-Level Growth & Operations Operator

I don’t pitch growth.
I’ve already built it — to $5M+ a month.

Founder-level operator across iGaming, SaaS and gaming technology. I take ventures from zero to revenue, rebuild the ones that stall, and run the entire machine — marketing, product, VIP, payments, CRM and the teams behind them. You don’t need another manager. You need someone who has already done it.

Line 02 · The operating surface

One operator. The whole revenue machine.

Most executives own a lane. I lead the whole board — gaming, technology and marketing operations run as one system, with both acquisition engines firing: B2C at scale and B2B through affiliates and partner relationships. This is the surface I run, end to end.

01
B2C Client Acquisition
PPC advertising, performance media and funnel economics run with CAC discipline at scale.
02
VIP & Retention
Player lifecycle, LTV, reactivation and the CRM that drives them.
03
Product & Tech
Roadmap, integrations and platform direction — without needing to be the developer.
04
Payments & Risk
Vendor stacks, KYC, payment risk and the operational guardrails around them.
05
B2B Affiliates & Relations
Affiliate programs, platform providers and revenue-share partnerships that compound.
06
Teams & Org
Building and restructuring distributed teams through growth and turnaround.

Line 03 · What you’re actually hiring

Not a title on an org chart. A return on a salary line.

A

An operator, not overhead

I’m measured the way you measure a P&L. The role pays for itself in the revenue, retention and efficiency it unlocks — or it isn’t worth filling.

B

I’ve already seen the volatility

Funding pressure, regulatory shifts, sudden scale, hard pivots. I’ve operated through all of it and come out with the business still standing — leaner.

C

Full-stack ownership

You get one accountable executive across acquisition, product, payments and CRM — not four hires and a coordination problem.

D

Revenue you can model

I think in LTV, retention curves and monetization levers. Growth stops being a story and starts being a forecast you can take to a board.

E

Two acquisition engines

B2C at scale through PPC and performance media, and B2B through affiliate programs and partner relations — like the 600+ company pipeline built under SweepsPartners.

F

The judgment AI won’t replace

I put AI to work across marketing and operations — but the leadership, negotiation, vendor relationships and hard calls under pressure? That’s the part you’re actually hiring.

Line 04 · The track record

Built, scaled, restructured — repeatedly.

Line 06 · Is this a fit?

This works best when one of these is true.

You’re scaling fast

Revenue is moving but operations, retention and team structure can’t keep up. You need someone to build the system around it.

You’ve stalled or stumbled

Growth flattened, costs crept, a pivot is coming. You want an operator who has restructured under pressure before.

You have a C-suite mandate

You’re a board, founder or agency placing a senior leader and you want proof of scale, not a polished résumé.
