About me

I help B2B founders turn early traction into a repeatable sales process that depends less on them. You have paying customers, but pipeline is inconsistent. Outbound takes effort without producing enough qualified conversations. You’re considering another hire, a new agency, or more tools, and want to know what will actually move things forward. That’s where I’m most useful. I work with you to find what’s holding sales back, decide what to fix first, and give your team a clear plan to act on. I’m particularly useful when you need a second opinion before an expensive GTM decision. We can work through: - Outbound that isn’t converting: Find the gaps in your targeting, messaging, data, and follow-up. - A revenue target without a credible pipeline plan: Work backward into the opportunities, conversion rates, and activity you need. - Sales that still depend on you: Decide what to document, delegate, and put in place before hiring another rep. - A GTM stack that creates more work than it saves: Assess your CRM, data, automation, and where AI can help. I run Harochi, a five-person team building GTM systems for B2B companies. We’ve worked with Aikido Security from Seed through unicorn status, HeyReach during its growth from $3M to $18M ARR, and companies including distil labs, Finally, Vidyard, and Vivid Money. In 2024, the systems we built generated more than $1.9M in closed opportunities. My background includes sales at Google in New York, account strategy, and running full sales cycles as a Senior AE in Berlin’s startup ecosystem. I also mentor early-stage founders through HubSpot for Startups. Choose the Advisor Plan if you want an ongoing partner to help set priorities, review progress, and work through decisions as your team executes.
