 Hi, I’m David, a tech entrepreneur passionate about building, scaling, and transforming businesses in SaaS, AI, Interactive Entertainment, and Web3. I thrive at the intersection of innovation, technology, and go-to-market strategy, bringing vision to life and turning start-ups into market leaders.

Over the years, I’ve held leadership roles as CEO, CMO, and CBDO, helping companies raise over $55M+ in funding and scaling platforms from ground zero to thriving businesses. I’ve launched, marketed, and grown high-performance products across global markets, leading cross-functional teams with speed and precision.

My expertise spans SaaS platforms, AI-driven technologies, video games, and decentralized Web3 ecosystems. I specialize in building go-to-market strategies, leading R&D and product storytelling, shaping brand narratives, and crafting scalable, revenue-driven business models that win markets.

I’m a firm believer in data-driven decision-making, rapid iteration, and aligning product-market fit with sharp brand positioning. I love architecting customer journeys, designing growth engines, and developing platforms that are not only innovative but built to scale and last.

Fundraising is another key strength, from angel rounds to venture capital, I’ve successfully navigated the complex world of start-up financing, raising millions to fuel product development, market entry, and global expansion.

Throughout my career, I’ve driven marketing strategy, growth hacking, business development, platform innovation, and strategic partnerships, always aiming for massive, measurable impact. I thrive under pressure and lead with a bold, clear, and visionary mindset.

Today, I partner with founders, executive teams, and investors to accelerate growth, unlock new opportunities, and create category-defining brands. Whether scaling a start-up from 0 to 1 or pushing a growth-stage company to new heights, I bring energy, experience, and execution.

If you're building something bold in SaaS, AI, or Web3 and need a leader who understands how to craft the strategy, lead the team, raise the funds, and scale the platform, let’s connect. I’m always open to new collaborations, partnerships, and ventures.

Let’s build the future together.
