Founder, GetFresh Ventures | GTM Architect | Investor | Partnering with CEOs and Founders to Engineer GTM Scale with AI Leverage
I’ve spent my career scaling high-growth tech companies, transforming startups from pre-revenue infancy into successes and exits. Outside work, an enamoured dad of two and husband, with a love for tinkering. My journey began at WebCT in 99 during the dotcom bust, in 5 yrs growing from a university startup to a $180M exit/merger to Blackboard, driving rapid growth on limited capital. Sophos in ‘05, post-acq of ActiveState, I led the integration of the young startup with a stoic UK based cybersec pubco integrating cultures globally, honing skills in org design, and large-scale integration. At IPS Networks, an early stage cybersec agency, I built and led the SecOps MSP - eventually sold to Deloitte. Vision Critical in ‘08, I scaled the company from $5M to $120M, blending open-source and enterprise tech, migrating to multi-tenant cloud apps across global datacenters, and integrated our entire customer journey across product, Salesforce, and NetSuite, to boost acquisition, and reduce churn. Hootsuite in ‘16, I transformed the company into an international enterprise with over $120M in revenue, integrating AdEspresso and overseeing tech, ops, and analytics. My next chapter, building on these lessons of scaling during downturns and re-engineering growth, I developed the HyperGrowth accelerator for BC Tech, penning the Growth by Design methodology for lean rapid growth. Seeing a gap between accelerators and VC, I founded GetFresh Ventures (GFV) to bring Growth by Design to founders, providing strategic execution to increase growth velocity and overcome challenges in building high-value businesses. In 8 years, we've worked hands on with over 40 ventures, taken 6 from cradle to exit, and aim to build a portfolio of 100s of successful exits. At GFV, we create clarity in achieving founder and investor exit expectations: GTM Roadmaps - We develop execution path

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's career trajectory shows a strong entrepreneurial spirit, having founded Covalent Systems and GetFresh Ventures. Their involvement with TiE Vancouver and mentorship programs indicates a commitment to community and fostering growth in others. The diverse range of companies and industries they have advised (real estate, wealth management, healthcare, construction, travel, etc.) suggests an open-minded and adaptable individual who can integrate into various organizational cultures. However, the current resume heavily emphasizes GTM, strategy, and business operations, with limited explicit mention of security engineering practices or deep technical security roles in recent years, which might require a significant shift in focus for a dedicated Security Engineer role.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership, strategic thinking, and a hands-on approach to problem-solving. Their extensive experience in advisory roles and scaling businesses suggests excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills. The ability to work across diverse industries and with various company stages (from startups to established enterprises) indicates adaptability and a broad operational fit. The candidate's focus on 'Growth by Design' and 'Human Engine' approaches suggests a collaborative and people-centric operational style.
