I'm your pre-hire hire.

Let me explain. You are a founder who is:

  • On the path to product-market fit
  • Pretty confident about what needs to happen next to spur your growth, but limited in time to execute
  • Limited on budget and patience to hire a fancy consultant to give you a highly formatted report that no one on your team has the time to implement
  • In need of someone competent, flexible, and smart to run the test, analyze the data, and confirm or deny your hunch about your next steps
  • Wanting to hire someone but not confident about the long-term need for a role that doesn't have clear long-term responsibilities.

 

That's where I come in. I'm your pre-hire hire. Buffology is here to run that experiment, give you objective results, and let you decide what to do with them. I'm low on talk and heavy on execution.


Want to interview a new customer segment to see if they're a sales channel worth pursuing? I'm inquisitive and a good listener. Want to test an ad campaign without hiring an inexperienced intern or a marked-up marketer? I'm an excellent writer and story-teller, and dangerous on Canva.

 

I'm also a business owner and operator, so I know how you think. How can I get the most bang for my buck? How do I find quality talent without over-spending? What's the next small, meaningful step I can make that will have a measurable impact on my current goal (revenue growth, brand awareness, strategic partnerships, etc.).

 

I started my career in education and public service in Boston before moving to Austin, Texas to dive into the tech entrepreneurship scene. I cut my teeth at a high-growth, venture-backed NYC-based fintech growing an international community of venture capitalists and startup operators dedicated to disrupting the private capital system. Since then I've helped founders take their next, meaningful step in the right direction, complete with repeatable processes documented in clear SOPs.

In 2024 I started my second entrepreneurial venture that feeds my hedonistic side. La Dolce Vélo is a mobile frozen dessert catering business pedaling handmade popsicles and ice cream sandwiches in Austin, TX.
